You read the title! As of about an hour ago from this post, Pulse posted about his decision to move to casting for the LPL. His reasoning is a bit frustrating (to me at least) given the situation he found himself in among the fans which thus feels like a continuation of caster hate and drama. From what I've gathered from his announcement, he's aiming to continue to improve under what is a lesser audience (and less pressure). Honestly, I hope to see what's changed once the Spring Split is done.

I don't mind Pulse I think he's a decent caster but I do remember him interviewing Forgiven and it was during his "military speech" and after Forgiven poured out his heart in that interview and after he was done Pulse just shook his head and went on and asked stupid and dumb questions like right after questions like - " How did you guys win that game" and " Are you guys(H2K) a good team"

As far as Pulse replacing Monte -It's a change and while I did like Monte I'm not going to lie I don't care honestly because I don't watch the LCK as much so the only "change" will be Worlds for 2 weeks in a year, so 2 weeks of Pulse in a year I'll be fine with that.

For me, this is kinda long overdue and realistically should've been done about 6 months ago. In a way, Pulse is a lot like froskurinn: both tend to come in loaded with facts/good insight into games but become increasingly annoying to actively listen to after a while. I'm interested to see what will happen after next worlds, as if they bring him in like what they did with froskurinn (and have him cast a bunch of games/bring his usual stuff) we could see a larger than usual audience beg to have him cast in their region.

I am honestly pretty sad about this but it makes sense why he made the decision. he got so much hate which was pretty unwarranted since in my opinion the problem for him was that he didn't have any built up synergy with the other casters which made his casting feel awkward. Its a lot like Doa without Monte. He is a great caster but he is considered not as good in that case without Monte. So I feel like that was pulse's problem
