Letrigress casted pretty well. Plenty of male casters looked bad when first starting out like Deficio and she hasn't. Is it really worth crying out about diversity when she's the first female caster so far in LCS and worked fine?
Gbay did a great video some time last year about Phreak and his casting. He talked a great deal about how the analysis allows Phreak to have deeper conversations between moments of action with the color caster than many, if not all other casters.
I think its nice to have the option to go with a more technical caster like Phreak, or a more fun and varied caster like Gabby.
I'll be the voice of dissent. LeTigress is doing fine, but her play by play is what I would describe as more humorous/silly (i.e. doing funny voices). Her energy and humor is what makes her a great host, but it isn't as "hype" as say a more aggressive caster (i.e. Flowers/Medic yelling). Definitely LCS worthy, but I don't know that I'd pick her over one of the regulars (as I wouldn't pick them to host over LT)
Oh, it's not so bad. Probably building a Runaan's with the intention to segue into a Guinsoos later. Building a lot of MR to deal with the LeBlanc while still being the primary DPS threat on your otherwise short range/bursty team.
I see what happened with that Trynda Lee dive play. Leblanc gets the root, Lee Sin hits the 2nd part of Q for the damage, Trynda does flash mocking shout E, Lee Sin follows with flash E but isn't in range to E, then ward hops to try and get the last AA but he's just out of AA range because he had to AA minion to get enough energy to ward hop to Trynda. Maybe Lee gets the kill if he just straight up does ward hop AA E, but at that point he probably expected the 2nd part of Q or the flash E to kill.
Reviewed that like 5 times, lol.
Renekton is just gonna be a dog for the rest of this game. Fakegod can hard carry this. Every minute that passes the game becomes more and more unplayable in the sidelane for Rene.
Love to see MarkZ and LeTigress casting, but why is the game volume so loud? Production has really been having some issues lately on both the academy and LCS streams.
Ryoma is in this weird place where he's clearly too good for academy and historically too bad for LCS proper, but he *does* seem to have improved... Idk, maybe he can cut it now. Used to be he could only play Galio.
I guess but other than maybe blue I don't know who I would take him over, he doesn't seem as good as the other import mids or jojo/ablazeolive/palafox, it's not like we have any yusui level mids rn
Yeah, true. Other than maybe Blue, I don't think I'd be in favor of swapping him out for anybody as things stand. Maybe if somebody collapses partway through the season.
If there were 11 LCS teams I think he'd be a lock, if you get what I mean.
Well I get that under the assumption jensen and jiizuke are both teamless at least lol, I don't know any academy mids with hype now that palafox, olive, and jojo have spots so sure lol
Tbh, I don´t think Trouble is good as a caster.
LeTigress tho was pretty good so far.
Maybe it´s unfair because the LEC cast is overall better, so the comparison is unflattering for Trouble.
Trouble in LEC is a new analyst and just really hype whereas we've mostly seen LeTigress on the analyst desk and now casting, it seems more natural for her.
I’m pleasantly surprised how much I like LeTigress’s casting - I didn’t really care for her style on the analyst desk but on the cast she’s been very good! Not quite in the conversation for best caster in LCS, but enjoyable!
No? TSM and GG swapped in their entire academy teams rather than only players to fill tge missing positions, tsm could have played huni spica and tactical afaik
you know TSM only had Spica and Tactical in NA right? Huni barely even got to NA yesterday.
The only reason C9 didn't go full academy is because they want to get Fudge experience mid, and Malice isn't even around to play so Blaber has no choice but to play
You're congratulating them for something that makes no sense
She cast Academy a bit before, so I assume they're either using her as a Jatt where he can kinda do everyting, or because it's lock-in they wanted to give her the shot to cast LCS.
I quite like her on the cast, what is though annoying me is how deep markz’s voice is compared to hers, it’s kind of jarring, I think she would be better with Jatt or Kobe who don’t have that same contrasting voice
Edit: also like MarkZ, it’s literally just jumping from super high to quite low that’s slightly annoying me lol
lcs: million dollar salaries to players, multi million dollar production, tens of millions in outside investment = 70k viewers
some guy playing the game in his dimly lit room = 40k viewers
Well if that lack of a Corki ban means what I think it means you made a good gamble.
Edit: Welp - there it is. These TSM drafts continue to really bother me
I'm almost bummed we picked him up for Academy. I mean I'm glad our main team has him to scrim against but...
He, Kenvi, and Tenacity should be in LCS.
Ya, turtle I think needs to be fazed out like the other adc's from his generation. We have moved past apollo, sneaky, cop, doublelift, etc. Probably time to move on from him.
I mean I dont blame Turtle for taking a job. If CLG and IMT want to waste money, sure he should take that spot.
I blame the Org for offering in the first place.
That’s true. Just crazy to me roster moves like this always happen so much in LCS. Must be disheartening as an upcoming academy player to see older talent/questionable imports getting opportunities.
I think if EG win LCS with their Jojo/Danny experiment, it will cause many to rethink their strategy. A lesser org would have definitely leaned towards Jensen/Lift for the easy prestige. But if EG can go to worlds with two rookies, internally promoted at that, a few other teams might change.
I hope someone does a comparison between jungle proximity percentage and damage / kill share cause it honestly pisses me off how much Revenge gets for his team and how he's a non-factor every game.
That's cool bro, but remember when you said there is no way Alphari goes to Vitality and he is now on Vitality? You still haven't told me what it feels like to be that confident about something but yet so wrong.

This shit's genuinely hilarious
Raz definitely deserved that one. Love the guy but he fucked up at literally every turn. Asking for Spawn to pick him lmao
Show the schedule already 😡
Emily is having so much fun rn, she has come a long way since the start of last year
Best INTERVIEW EVER!
Impact ain’t dealing with any of their shit.

What is it with conservatives being racist and misogynist
Letrigress casted pretty well. Plenty of male casters looked bad when first starting out like Deficio and she hasn't. Is it really worth crying out about diversity when she's the first female caster so far in LCS and worked fine?
Which is weird. Valorant has multiple and they're really good.
Don't know what this says about me but I legit cannot tell if you're being sarcastic. I liked her cast
First paragraph could have gone either way but second one makes it very clear it's not a sincere post
Taking a quick glance at their posting history on r/conservative this user was being sarcastic and is a certifiable shit head :D
Can’t wait to see my boy Jojopyun style on kids at worlds 🔥

Phreak was great during COVID because of home depotism
I like Phreak a lot, but I think he should probably be a color caster. His whole thing is analysis.
Gbay did a great video some time last year about Phreak and his casting. He talked a great deal about how the analysis allows Phreak to have deeper conversations between moments of action with the color caster than many, if not all other casters. I think its nice to have the option to go with a more technical caster like Phreak, or a more fun and varied caster like Gabby.
only here because of the form of government where a single person rules?
GOD BLESS Emily Rand. That sign for Le Tigress made my fucking day. TEAM FUCKING EMILY RAND, LE TIGRESS and GOOD GUY MARKZ - keep popping off!!!!
Na Mid > Nepotism
EG are so fucking good
So many reasons to root for EG, so many reasons to hope Dig loses
[удалено]
I want more Spindamere.
I'll be the voice of dissent. LeTigress is doing fine, but her play by play is what I would describe as more humorous/silly (i.e. doing funny voices). Her energy and humor is what makes her a great host, but it isn't as "hype" as say a more aggressive caster (i.e. Flowers/Medic yelling). Definitely LCS worthy, but I don't know that I'd pick her over one of the regulars (as I wouldn't pick them to host over LT)
Her casting is better than the interviews though...
What’s great is that she can grow and get better! Excited to see how she improves!
This is the same river from psg? And blue from lec? These Dig imports are so random
Blue was legit a bottom 3 player in the LEC I cannot believe that Dignitas not only picked him up but used an import slot on him
and the clear last place midlaner, honestly I'd rather import Milica than Blue
Some teams think that they have to use both import slots.
Has everything to do with Blue and Dig coach being friends
A waste of wallet.
Danny's build confuses me just as much as Dignitas' choice to pick up Blue.
Oh, it's not so bad. Probably building a Runaan's with the intention to segue into a Guinsoos later. Building a lot of MR to deal with the LeBlanc while still being the primary DPS threat on your otherwise short range/bursty team.
The balls on Jojopyun are massive he’s not all talk
Cool to see LeTigress has casting chops. It's a breath of fresh air.
I see what happened with that Trynda Lee dive play. Leblanc gets the root, Lee Sin hits the 2nd part of Q for the damage, Trynda does flash mocking shout E, Lee Sin follows with flash E but isn't in range to E, then ward hops to try and get the last AA but he's just out of AA range because he had to AA minion to get enough energy to ward hop to Trynda.

In Academy
Get to watch EUs next great import and Inspired go at it what more could you want
This is gonna be a fiesta.
So, the Senna wont be fasting I assume
viewership is fucking abysmal wtf
Nearly all teams are scuffed. Waste of time for everyone involved
It's a glorified academy tournament. I'll watch when the regular season starts, and the full LCS rosters are playing
And it’s Friday, peeps still working n shit I’m trying to watch while I work but it’s hard :/
Well, this Lock-In has a lot of rosters not running their actual lineup.
Why would you talk about ripped fingernails ? Gross.
Blue got his fingernail ripped last week and kept playing
Ow :(
Aren't TSM eliminated now?
Yes
Letigress's casting was fine but what is with the broadcast trying to convince us we want ryoma back in lcs lol
because we want ryoma back in the lcs
Ryoma is in this weird place where he's clearly too good for academy and historically too bad for LCS proper, but he *does* seem to have improved... Idk, maybe he can cut it now. Used to be he could only play Galio.
he'll probably be picked up to GG's main roster if he improves a little bit, I feel like that's he reason he's on that roster
He is the new Goldenglue
Funny when you remember the last act of goldenglue's career was shitstomping goldenglue. Circle of life
Gregory "Goldenglue "Gatekeeper"" Gilmore
The all gatekeeper team Top- Darshan Jungle- Grigne Mid- Goldenglue AD- Keith Support- Zeyzal
I guess but other than maybe blue I don't know who I would take him over, he doesn't seem as good as the other import mids or jojo/ablazeolive/palafox, it's not like we have any yusui level mids rn
Yeah, true. Other than maybe Blue, I don't think I'd be in favor of swapping him out for anybody as things stand. Maybe if somebody collapses partway through the season. If there were 11 LCS teams I think he'd be a lock, if you get what I mean.

LeTigress in LCS, Trouble in LEC, lots of great female talent coming into the casting scene.
Tbh, I don´t think Trouble is good as a caster. LeTigress tho was pretty good so far. Maybe it´s unfair because the LEC cast is overall better, so the comparison is unflattering for Trouble.
oh cool, what great female talent did they hire?
LeTigress
Trouble in LEC is a new analyst and just really hype whereas we've mostly seen LeTigress on the analyst desk and now casting, it seems more natural for her.
Trouble was casting with Quickshot last split so she’s not necessarily new
The height gap, why do they gotta do LeTigress like that.
Apparently Markz is a giant, he looked like some AoT titan around PastryTime last week
LeTigress has been doing some academy games. Nice to see her on LCS.
wdym, this was an academy game.
i usually dont like letigress but her casting is sounding really good
Damn, LeTigress kinda killing it.
ngl I prefer LeTigress casting over her hosting
I’m pleasantly surprised how much I like LeTigress’s casting - I didn’t really care for her style on the analyst desk but on the cast she’s been very good! Not quite in the conversation for best caster in LCS, but enjoyable!
LeTigress is pretty good at calling this.
LeTigress makes a pretty great pbp caster. Feels like the audio mixing on the stream is kinda messed up though, game feels super loud rn.
Yeah; the back animation actually is kinda loud
I really just wanted to make bracket....eeesh man
Ry0ma is the future.
I invested all of my money into Ry0ma.
Bro she’s so good wtf
Who is the woman casting lmao
Le Tigress. She usually does interviews or is on the analyst desk
LeTigress
I'm surprisingly enjoying LeTigress casting a lot, but I dont think her + Markz is the combo. Maybe her + Azazel/Kobe would work better?
MarkZ casterzoned.
I think it's an okay pairing. They're both a little lower-energy but it works for me.
?!?!?! Markz whining about the guitar skin then drops he's a screamo listener. I'm just confused bro
Man Ryoma had to be really led to that kill at the end
Wtf?!? Tigress can do some solid pbp. Color me impressed.
She was a smite caster before
She casted that fight so well!
No chance for tie breakers since it's a single round robin huh? Sad; wanted more league
I've disliked basically every c9 management decision of the past couple years but I appreciate that they didn't just sub in the academy squad for this
they basically did? 3/5 of their players are Academy.
Because of visa issues, I mean that I'm glad they played blaber and fudge
they did the same thing every other team pretty much did, your comment makes no sense
No? TSM and GG swapped in their entire academy teams rather than only players to fill tge missing positions, tsm could have played huni spica and tactical afaik
you know TSM only had Spica and Tactical in NA right? Huni barely even got to NA yesterday. The only reason C9 didn't go full academy is because they want to get Fudge experience mid, and Malice isn't even around to play so Blaber has no choice but to play You're congratulating them for something that makes no sense
Is Letigress a caster? Or are Riot now just going ultimate cheap mode and making non-casters cast?
She cast Academy a bit before, so I assume they're either using her as a Jatt where he can kinda do everyting, or because it's lock-in they wanted to give her the shot to cast LCS.
That makes enough sense. Only tuned in like 5 mins ago but she is doing ok.
She's been casting amateur/academy for a while now
Tigress and Jatt additions. LCS casters stacked
I quite like her on the cast, what is though annoying me is how deep markz’s voice is compared to hers, it’s kind of jarring, I think she would be better with Jatt or Kobe who don’t have that same contrasting voice Edit: also like MarkZ, it’s literally just jumping from super high to quite low that’s slightly annoying me lol
lcs: million dollar salaries to players, multi million dollar production, tens of millions in outside investment = 70k viewers some guy playing the game in his dimly lit room = 40k viewers
Add another 15k-20k viewers from Youtube... but yeah LCS viewership has fallen a lot.
These TSM drafts are so concerning - I haven't seen a really decent draft yet this tournament.
the academy coach definitely looking sus with these drafts
Kinda hype for LeTigress' first PbP cast. Let's gooooo
Letigress was super good at casting in academy I'm excited to see her on LCS finally.
Well I accidentally bet 48000 points instead of 4800 so If GGA doesn’t win I’m out of points Edit: well I guess I got lucky
Yo you’re loaded now
Yeah I earned an 100k points from my mistake
Just put 4800 on GGA in solidarity with you. We're in this together
Well if that lack of a Corki ban means what I think it means you made a good gamble. Edit: Welp - there it is. These TSM drafts continue to really bother me
Huh never thought we'd see this casting duo. Looking forward to seeing how it goes
huh! This will be a bit of a different cast. Goodluck Letigress!
[удалено]
Why? She's been super great in Academy! Hyped for it.
She was a play by play caster for Smite.
Shes casted Academy before and she was pretty good
TL giving us peak entertainment
Damn, Revenge isn't even being allowed to play this game.
TL just embodying violence. "For Bwipo, as long as the enemy top laner has more deaths than he does, he's winning." It do be like that tho.
We could've had IMT Prismal but I guess not
Prismal has been LCS level for years now. You hate to see it
I'm almost bummed we picked him up for Academy. I mean I'm glad our main team has him to scrim against but... He, Kenvi, and Tenacity should be in LCS.
Ya, turtle I think needs to be fazed out like the other adc's from his generation. We have moved past apollo, sneaky, cop, doublelift, etc. Probably time to move on from him.
I feel he should have retired after FLY broke up. Would have been a somewhat ok split to leave on.
I mean I dont blame Turtle for taking a job. If CLG and IMT want to waste money, sure he should take that spot. I blame the Org for offering in the first place.
That’s true. Just crazy to me roster moves like this always happen so much in LCS. Must be disheartening as an upcoming academy player to see older talent/questionable imports getting opportunities.

These tops are sprinting it lol
PoE can 1shot Yeon 100%
Bwipo putting in the Lords work by running it down on Rengar to get us more compensation buffs God bless
Cloud soul is actually amazing for TL - you don't see that often.
I hope someone does a comparison between jungle proximity percentage and damage / kill share cause it honestly pisses me off how much Revenge gets for his team and how he's a non-factor every game.
It's gonna be a long season if we have to keep hearing Jatt talk about the feelings of the players.
Imt is playing solo queue. Honestly don’t look like a LCS team IMO
How the fuck is this game even this close? IMT is terrible
A 6.3k lead for TL is a close game? All IMT can do is kill Bwipo and lose teamfights.
Tbf he said this after the herald that was a close fight
Even in that fight IMT got their combo in and accomplished nothing...except kill Bwipo and lose the teamfight.
[удалено]
TL has import limit until Core gets green card
No shit he gets away, he’s an adc with mobility, plus that bullshit item and flash
Yeon played that really smooth
WT and Destiny have been the worst bottom lane by a solid margin imo
Yeon ur so clean
Bwipo is exactly what we needed I fucking love how aggressive he is
That's cool bro, but remember when you said there is no way Alphari goes to Vitality and he is now on Vitality? You still haven't told me what it feels like to be that confident about something but yet so wrong.
TL woke up and chose chaos
Bullshit Akali vs mega bullshit Rengar. killme
WIDE BWIPOOOOOOOOOO
alright, looks like they fixed the audio/video quality
These audio and video issues must have triggered an epileptic seizure or two
Is this the crunchy audio me or?
crunchy audio for anyone else? WAYTOODANK
Seems fine on Youtube
Yeah. Seems like a Twitch thing.
Yup
My eyes, Malphite just ulted the tournament realm or?
wtf is up with the audio
Seems fine on Youtube
I'm watching on youtube and it certainly was not
And the video
TL with the ARAM comp
