No one cares about my opinion

Today, I tuned on the Expansion tournament and while the off-prime casters have rarely been the best, they are rarely so bad. One of the casters described playing Rammus jungle using motorcycle sound effects for over 5 minutes. Most of the time, I accept the fact that the announcers cannot give the in depth analysis of the game and instead describe events I can plainly see. Sometimes, they explain something incorrectly, but casters like Phreak and Jatt will attempt to talk about something important and contribute to the viewing experience.

However, this announcer was so annoying that he made me turn off the game. Sure, it was just some dumb game that CST probably won (I didn't check), but this announcer needs some serious instruction on how to entertain an audience. There's a fine line between making a joke or maintaining a running gag. Acting like your riding a motorcycle for 7 minutes because your too incompetent to actually discuss the game is plainly obnoxious.

Singed,

Just a Fan

Yeah there are a lot of terrible casters, I'm kind of shocked more ppl aren't fighting for their jobs by making legitimate professional attempts at casting. They would easily get the job if they simply... showed up? existed? Where are these -good- casters?

I have to say everything about the reset casts that are partnered with ESL have been absolutely terrible. You can't find most the vods on any legitimate sites (Esl_tv and lolesports) I have to go to alternative sources just to get vods of things.... and the production value is so low even the little things like people having to remake games 3-4 times because players don't have many champions (the IEM qualification tournament)
