any chance we'll get a caster who's a different gender or ethnicity?

Thanks for adding Ovilee because man, aside from Ovilee, all the analysts and casters look and sound very similar in NA.

While I don't mind watching Raz and Froskurinn and Sjokz, they're not NA LCS and we only really get to see them cover NA games, strats, and teams at MSI and Worlds.

It's not that hard to find a person with a heritage tracing back to Asia or India or Africa, etc .... or a person who's a gender other than male, who likes League and can comment on the game at a socially-competent level, with a good understanding of macro and micro play.

Please please add someone new and different to the roster. It would mean a lot to a whole bunch of kids watching the broadcast, hoping that someone who looks and acts like them has as much a chance at being a pro caster as the white males who currently are employed at your studio.

I don't have a problem if they get someone with that criteria, but I don't like the idea of getting someone because of that criteria.

I understand that you want to represent other ethnicities, but it's really not that big a deal honestly. There's more to casters than just color, and someone shouldn't be picked for the position over another just because of the way they were born. Most of the casters are currently fan favorites anyway, and adding more would mess with the flow of commentary or just upset people who already have a favorite.
