This is a personal opinion - a venting - a complaint - and a BOY DOES HE SUCK I am sure he is fine guy personally, but I don't like his commentary style. It does not reflect the summoners code. There are many ways to comment on poor play, bad decision making. But just dumping on teams he doesn't like is not one of them. He is far too negative and does not contribute insightful analyst perspective. It is disappointing that RIOT continues to use him, that IEM users him.

I have tried to listen to him, but I can't. While all the other casters, and analysts have gotten better, he continues to bring his condescending, "I am right" , they are crap attitude .

I have to mute the stream when he is on. I suppose I could comment about him the way he comments about other teams....

Meh. I like how he watches almost all of the games across all of the regions and then gives his opinions with confidence. I don't like when some casters maybe watch a few games and then are like "welllll maybeee this is the case, maybeee." Monte usually isn't afraid to admit when he is wrong or someone else has a good point. He just presents his own points like he knows what he is talking about because he does.

While I agree with getting rid of Cristo.

'Due' not 'do'.

with all "do" respect, you're being too sensitive on the matter. (to criticize montecristo) he does not play the game himself often. he even admitted that. however, he knows how the ~~rotation~~ game works. he apparently watches as many professional games as possible to prepare for casting the games he does cast in. he has a job, he's doing the job, and he's confident with what he says. sometimes, montecristo is wrong, but he's not bad all in all. right now, i'm just guessing that you're peeved at his words against Cloud9 or something along those lines. if anything, i'm disappointed in rito bringing crumbzz on the desk at this event.

I will admit that I sometimes do not like MC because I think he has a Korean bias and is unfair towards other teams/regions. Then the GE tigers smash everyone and I realize that he isn't biased, he is RIGHT! Other teams/regions LOOK like they are getting better when they play amongst themselves, but when it comes to superior strategy, mechanics, teamwork, and raw talent, Korea is just light-years ahead of anyone else and Monte Cristo is knowledgeable enough about this game to really see what makes certain teams that much better,

In the case of Cloud 9, it was somewhat deserved. They played an extremely uncharacteristic first game, and followed up with a not as bad, but still rough game which they couldn't close out (Also partially due to sloppy and uncharacteristic play). While he may not play the game, he still has a much larger understanding of the game than the majority of players (Most likely yourself included).

On a side note.

Not a huge fan of Crumbz' casting today. No offense to him, but he has a very monotone voice, and tends to be very repetitive in his descriptions of game-play.
