No MonteCristo or DoA at worlds??? Riot, you've done everything right up until this point.

These are 2 of my favorite casters. I was looking forward to listening to them. They are simply amazing at what they do. I thought maybe they would be casting the knockout stages of worlds but I was sad to find out that they would not be casting this year at worlds. While DoA did receive an invite, MonteCristo did not. I learned that there was some drama at MSI when they declined to cast because apparently, RIOT was not offering a competitive rate of pay. RIOT, Why you do us like this? You guys have so much money, please pay your casters accordingly and competitively. Don't tell me that the owners or a co-owner of Riot has an issue with what happened at MSI because that would be some petty Baby-b*tch stuff. And now I hear that these 2 may even be leaving OGN and LoL. Like WTF. I am not sure what is going on from RIOTs side of the story, but I see that MonteCristo has not done much wrong except voice his opinion and take a stance on being underpaid. He is a Co-owner of the team renegades and that team got shut down by RIOT for violating certain rules that i have still yet to understand. Members of the team were not even sure of why they were banned.

I will still watch worlds, I will still watch OGN. But my overall opinion of RIOT has gone down. It's still quite high tho. Bring them back next year or else!

Doa is getting married in Korea soon, so that's probably why he didn't accept his invitation. Monte wasn't invited at all.

Yeah, plus they are both starting to get more into Overwatch.

Maybe they are coming in late on in the worlds matches? maybe semi-finals or even earlier?

No they are not coming, Overwatch casting might have already become their main job

Nope, Riot really doesn't like Monte. They don't really like their own casters either, because they're offering them wage below industry standards. Monte was arguing about that and so they decided to ban him from being an owner of an LCS team, just as an example. Anyway it's highly unlikely we'll ever see Monte casting any of the Riot events ever again.

That is what I thought at first. I thought they saved their best casters for the knockout stages through the finals. I will now start watching overwatch games.
