No other analyst that i have listened to thus far keep inserting their region into their analytics and she does it a multitude of times.
"Guys im from LPL. Hey did you know im from LPL? Dude this happens in LPL all the time--which is the region im from btw if you didn't know. LPL is the best!" Like she HAS to do that.
THAT is annoying. It doesn't make me dislike her as much as everyone else but that IS annoying and unnecessary, i feel.
What bugs me is all the other casters/interviewers are dressed formally while she stands out like Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element.
I think you are being very unfair in your assessment. Most of the statements you singled out, out of context I may add, she said tongue in cheek in humor when they casters were all debating what may happen during a series, forecasting.
I may be biased because she is the only female caster, Sjokz aside.
And there are ZERO female pro players, I keep asking myself why that seems to be.
I just can't stand her hair. Hideous.
See, although Frosk might seem a bit annoying to some, I personally find her quite enjoyable especially in roundtable discussions (see: any of the thorin ones). Although her passion for the LPL may come off as too "over the top" or "canned", the fact she is heavily promoting a region which viewership-wise gets the least english watchers of all major ones isn't necessarily a bad thing. For me, the biggest problem with her is that she doesn't have that "natural" feel as a caster so to speak, in that she brings too much information to things and would do way better being an Emily Rand or Kelsey Moser kind of figure, writing and discussing games instead of live-casting them. On my caster scale though, I'd still rank her low 80s, nowhere near my Captainflowers/"brady tier".
Let's be real, she is ok at her job. Not amazing mind you, but she isn't incompetent. Problem is her personality, her voice, the hair cut, but most importantly her tattoo. I can't respect someone with such a terrible tattoo in such a bad place. It looks like prison ink, did she actually pay to have that monstrosity put on?
It's a shame too because they don't really have any other female casters/analysts and I feel bad for talking down on such a poor example.
Some of the things she's said in this tournament were flat out wrong or fan-girl-ish. (The again though most casters have bias towards SKT and how they enjoying handling Fakers Poacher's Dirk)
I'd just like to point out that PapaSmithy does the exact same thing for LCK, but even worse because when he does it, he puts down every other region to boast Korea over and over. Every caster is bound to have their own preference, no reason to create threads to cry about someone mentioning theres, even if it is fairly frequently. It's quite literally their job to promote those regions.
i remember when Deficio was new, and he thot EU was gunna take worlds. the other casters trolled him so hard when Fnatic was shit on. he was literately silent during the cast, he was so mad.
i wish they would rip into Frostkurrin that way, but lets be honest, nerds are too nice guys for that.
either way she will prolly be better next year, less overbearing, less jumping to talk first and less 'my way or the highway' with her analysis. i hope.
I guess maybe if China stops winning and moving up the ladder, she'll stop talking about it.
[slayer-jinx-wink]
My problem with Froskurrin is that she acts like she knows everything, or that the LPL invented everything. "Player X is know for this." (when another caster/analyst points something out about an LPL player). "We have been doing this in the LPL for years." "I have been saying this for a long time."
No, player X isn't known for Y. No, the LPL hasn't been doing everything for years. And no, you haven't said it ever before. Please don't act like you knew everything first, Froskurrin.
I just dont like her voice honestly its annoying. any time shes casting i just mute it and watch the game. Honestly idk why riot hired a tumblr reject
