Absolutely. Freak is usually entertaining enough with his interactions with the other casters. Riv literally makes any game he casts less enjoyable.

I'd rather have the blonde girl taken off. Okay.. not taken off because she's a good caster, but have a dress code for casters!

It's not the hair or the tattoos. I am perfectly fine with those!

But... do you remember Worlds? Where all the guys had nice suits, nice and professional... and she shows up with a showy, shiny, glittery suit? That was... very, very gaudy, gauche, and unprofessional.

You had me until you threw shade at mere dress code. It's not like this is the first time; it's a consistent look for her throughout LPL seasons. If her superiors haven't had a problem with it, what's there to change?

So you're basically saying a sequin top - not even a full suit at that - is gaudy...unprofessional. But would you say the same for a black leather form fit dress? There's always going to be someone who stands out. If you watch enough broadcasting it becomes apparent

I mean come on, these are video games we are watching gamers play. If you ask me all the boring suits need spiced up. Show some games and geek flair.

The issue I have with Esports broadcasting on a whole is the question of integrity. When the entire show is run by the company who produces the game, how much can you trust there to not be bias and propaganda? It's like UFC broadcasts, because Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg get their paychecks from UFC, sometimes the commentary is horrifically biased and skews perception. I can't really point at any specific game moments, but commentary before and after matches at times looks like they see a teleprompter saying "Hype player X" no matter what they have done lately.
