Two years ago, the North American Star League welcomed Ben “MrBitter” Nichol into its casting team. Today, we wish him the best as he moves onto a new role in eSports with Red Bull.
Over the years, the NASL team has grown quite close as an eSports family. As such, we remain supportive of each person’s growth and journey, whether they grow within our organization, move away from eSports, or move on to other roles.
In the case of MrBitter, the next phase of his journey will be working for Red Bull eSports. For anyone who may be concerned by this, that journey will still likely involve StarCraft, as MrBitter stated, “StarCraft will still be a huge part of who I am and what I do.”
Kevin “RotterdaM” van der Kooi will continue to anchor WCS America, which MrBitter assured is “going to be the best show ever now that he doesn’t have to carry me anymore.” Rest assured, the pair will still have opportunities to cast together. Kevin's new co-caster for WCS America will be announced soon.
Thus, although we will miss him, we are excited for Ben and wish him the best at Red Bull.
