LCS Voiceovers

While watching LCS over the past couple of years, I have noticed that Riot Games, along with the rest of the E-Sports and League of Legends communities, have tried to make the pro scene just like every other sport (Basketball, Football, Etc.) One thing that has come to mind is when I am watching the stream and lets say TSM kills the dragon, the voiceover claims "the red team has slain the dragon." One thing that I would like to see changed is for the voiceover to say "TSM has slain the dragon" because in professional sports the loudspeakers never shout "Thats a bucket for the home team" its always "Denver with the bucket." With this change I feel like it would connect E-sports with the rest of the sport community just a little bit more in their advancement as a serious sport in the world.

The voice over you hear when "the red team has slain dragon" is actually the in-game sounds. What you're asking in essence is that Riot take the time to record new lines for the in-game announcer to incorporate the names of each pro team competing in the LCS, but the problem would be the name would very well become irrelevant. Another thing to factor in is the announcer pronouncing the names of each team: does she say "TSM" or "Team Solo Mid", "CLG" or "Counter Logic Gaming"? The amount of time and effort to add in the lines would not be worth it in the long term, and besides that's why the commentators are the ones to state the dragon has been killed by TSM.
