It seems natural to start by talking about the 2019 World Championship as that concluded last week. I think it’s fair to say it is one of the strongest contenders for Esports Event of the Year.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yeah, I agree with you. I’m pretty biased obviously but I thought it was really amazing. I get the chance every year and I pick a couple of other events I get to go to. Sadly this year I didn’t get to go to ESL One Cologne<\/a> but that was a knockout event that was insane too.<\/p>\n

The length and operation that is Worlds for League of Legends is the best event bar none when you look at what goes into the opening ceremony, the standard of production across all the weeks. I know we had a couple of hiccups in the beginning in the group stage with audio and stuff like that which really freakin’ suck but I think we bounced back pretty well and overall I think it was a fantastic event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You mentioned ESL One Cologne and this year you branched into CS:GO through two BLAST Pro Series events. Do you think more esports could benefit from talent going beyond their usual games as you have done?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I think that’s a great point. Obviously it can’t go for colour casters that easily as there’s just so much that goes into the prep that it would be weird and quite difficult. Some people have done it, look at Montecristo for instance, but from a host perspective and my experience I definitely think it is amazing.<\/p>\n

We are very siloed off into our own esports and naturally very competitive with each other as well which is a good thing.<\/p>\n

I do think there should be more visibility and dialogue between esports to prop each other up as it was lovely for me to get to see completely different production, a completely different community and how other talent work. That’s only beneficial for both sides plus it was cool to see the crossover so I think it’s a good thing.<\/p>\n
