It's kinda annoying how hung up people are on the gender thing. It should have nothing to do with it. Sjokz is awesome at what she's doing and that's what matters. I hope that she will enojy doing it for a long time!

See, Sjokz is beautiful, but that is only a great addition to what an awesome caster she is! Her interviews are always genuine and she comes up with Phreak worthy puns at times! I mean, come on! There had to have been some correlation to Phreak talking about the game right after Sjokz so that he could make his "Earthquake" joke! Without her, LoL Esports would not be the same!

Sjokz just keep doing what you are doing, It's sad that in the 21st Century race,sex and or religion still has an effect on how people feel. For any of the critics out there, you try to interview someone with a language barrier, it's not easy! I enjoyed the worlds experience and many of the questions I have had following a match actually comes up in post game interviews which just shows how much she has invested into knowing her craft. She knows the players and understands the game which allows for some fun and interesting post game interviews. There will always be critics out there however at least have something constructive to say other than the gender argument. Haters are going to hate, by definition the job of a hater is to hate but something I have learned people don't just hate on random people if you have haters you are doing something right. So ending as I started sjokz just keep doing you, it has gotten you this far and not many people these days can say they enjoy going to work everyday.

Most memorable moment: Sjokz interviewing Dyrus. I'll never forget that moment and everyone involved in it.

You know, even if Sjokz was just there for just being a girl, (I know she's not, i'm just say if) I don't see why people think of it as a bad thing. It's basically saying Phreak is just there b/c he's a guy, and honestly that's just not fair.

If you ever watched LPL you will know how bad their female casters are... Sjokz is so much better, well she's not a caster but I'm just saying that she does her job well, the female casters in LPL are really just because they're a "half-decent girl". They kept being off topic and have bad game knowledge.

Thank you for this interview, Sjokz! I don't always get to watch all the EULCS matches, but the ones I do, I really appreciate your insight into the game and the players. Your ability to really know what to say, what to ask, and at what point to make an observation really is a testament to just how hard you work alongside your co-workers to give us fans a wonderful League experience and draw us in as participants and not just simply observers. Keep up the amazing work!summoner 31
