Spoiler-free Shoutcasting

Dear Riot Shoutcasters,

Can you please try not to reveal the outcome of other games during a game? I'm in the Air Force and my job has me out of the house for 4 days at a time and I can't stream the games live and watch all the games in exact order. I have to watch them on YouTube very slowly since the Internet where I work is extremely slow. It was a little disheartening to watch the TSM and TIP playoff series and learn that C9 had won the other series before I had a chance to watch it.

I'm not trying to offend the shoutcasters in any way whatsoever, I would just like to request that if you can try to keep other games' outcomes disclosed until the anylyst desk. This would be much appreciated.

                                                                                    Sincerely,

A huge LCS fan.

It should be that way anyways. They specifically promote the VODs as Spoiler Free. Just seems like some casters get excitable and forget about that.

Yeah I suppose you get into the moment and forget but it's such a let down. Half the fun of watching a BO5 series is not knowing who is going to make it in the end.

I got to see the UOL vs SK gaming series spoiler-free and I was on the edge of my seat the whole series, especially the last game. I would have been devasted if I knew the outcome of that series ahead of time.

This is understandable, there are so many ways for games to be spoiled. Social Media, Reddit, LoL Forums, the added mis-step from a caster is just another in the pile of things looking to spoil the fun.
