I really wish all 3 of these casters could be at MSI.

I love their casting and they bring a lot to the table.

It is sad to see the two parties not reach an agreement but I hope that changes and we can see them at MSI.

Their loss. Pretty dumb move on their part. Especially for relative unknowns like DoA and Papa. They ought to have been jumping at the bit to cast for 500k+ people and furthering their own brand. Instead of letting Ring-leader Monte damage their careers; at least in regards to LoL. They stream to a max of 10-15k people at 3 am on OGN. Hell, of those 10-15k viewers, there is no telling how many actually care about the casters, or just want to watch the games.

Reddit can blow smoke up their butt all they want, but they are a very small sub-set of fans in a very large pool. Your average viewer probably has never even heard of Monte, much less DoA and Papa, and they want to pull this stunt? Watch when they never get invited to another event. Sometimes, you take something just to put it on your resume. This is honestly one of those times. Riot does not need casters. It has a freaking slew of them already. Honestly, too many. Its more of a kudos to that small set of fans that these guys even get invited, and they have the ego to believe that Riot owes them more than that? Do they not even look at their viewer numbers? Popular streamers get more viewers than OGN; hell Riot could just invite old pros and streamers and probably make more people happy then inviting Monte and DoA.

Just a dumb move. Take the opportunity, further your brand. Stop comparing this game to games where its entirely free-lance. League is a monopoly. Look at Deman. He is actually disliked in his new gig.
