Why do you guys never seem to post a DEFINITIVE, ONE-STOP-SPOT for ALL streaming links, for ALL regions, ALL languages? Not all of us are monolingual. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

WHERE is MarkZ? #takeMark

He is BY FAR my favorite League of Legends Sports Caster. He brings his knowledge and experience to the commentary and always has very good technical + tactical input on both the "Macro" and "Micro" level of strategy and play-making. MarkZ provides excellent commentary input to the point where I can just watch the matches and listen to his commentary and I am always learning and able to pick up on new and very useful information and tactics + strategies to focus on in my own play-style. Plus I like how he makes sure to mention that certain scenarios and team compositions that these Pro-Teams are able to make work are not always going to be feasible options or worth-while plays in SoloQ games, and won't always actually work out in considering the team-makeup and lack of cooperation that normally exists and goes along with playing in SoloQ games and random players that don't always work together to synergize.

Not to mention he has a much better since of humor than the other Sports Casters, without a doubt he has the best jokes compared to any of the other NA Sports Casters.

Thank you for this, I've been trying all week to find ways to watch the less covered regions, and it seemed the only place to watch it was while it was live. Thanks Riot!

Where is Achilios? That RR Red squad is nearly perfect but it's missing the other half of the dynamic LCK duo

Find it odd that all guest(?) commentators are EU (Prolly, Trashy, Amazing). Where are there no NA player/coaches that are in the on-air talent?

SciFi Scrivener7/2/2017, 1:03:58 PM1 votes

Surprised to see RIV missing. He's my favorite caster, it will be sad not hearing his play calling.

FINALLY! Phreak vs Sjokz! It'll be the TRUE MAIN EVENT!
