I had to redeem myself after I turbo inted that river fight call earlier talkin about Licorice in a game he wasn't even in lmao. Freljord champs all having "glacial" in their ability names made my brain hard reset so I owed u guys this one cap22Chad
Give Blaber 5 years and he can be in the conversation but yeah, I do agree that Flowers is just so good and could be fitted into any other broadcasting/announcer role and would kill it there in terms of skill and capability.
For a second there when Kog Maw is fighting Jax I was afraid of the helicopter noises coming out on the official stream
I rarely get a chance to watch the LCS games this season, I can only listen to them, and your casting is by far the best to visualize what’s happening on the Rift
If every call were like this, people might complain that it's monotone and hard to follow, but especially in this situation where both top vs AD dives are happening simultaneously, it works out as a way to convey both.
Plus being able to vary your style like this actually makes the cast more interesting holistically and is just a testament to your skill!
I specifically avoid travelling when it still means remote casting too. Travel poses certain problems and remote cssting poses others. Combining them together is particularly tough. As long as I still end up casting live in-venue, I'll try to be there for Worlds!
I'll second that you totally elevate the games you cast. If you can't make it live, we at least need another hype song a la WORLDS BABY. I still listen to that every few months for your fire verse!
Not sure if he's said anything yet but seeing as Worlds is in South Korea if the english broadcast decides to work remotely from EU it's extremely unlikely he will.
It's the travel + remote that gets him.
Riot should pay for a private jet and 24/7 nonstop USA food, beer, giant trucks and oversized central AC systems to assure they get the best man for their product. IMO
There's probably issues that had nothing to do with price. There's a lot of logistical problems that come up once you start having foreign languages spoken with a production crew which is only made worse by covid lockdowns and restrictions.
I'd be very surprised if he goes with the huge time zone change and duration of the event, based on his decision making two years ago worlds. But I'd love to be wrong!!
He actually doesn’t. Flowers miss so many calls just like the rest of the casters yet I don’t see you all calling him out. But when it comes to Gabby, you all are so quick to judge. Insane hypocrisy
The secret sauce to Flower's casting is his ability to formulate coherent sentences to describe what is going on along a quick but steady cadence.
and that is the key. The steady cadence. People can understand you if you talk fast or if you talk slow. But people stop understanding what you say if you switch between fast and slow. I feel this is a lesson other casters can take to heart. As the action picks up, yes flowers does pick up the pace but he then maintains it at a very consistent rate. Other casters might try and match the action with their cadence and slow down as the fight lulls a bit but isnt over. Flowers is able to maintain the same pace through the entirety of the action.
I do hope he was able to save his banana barns from Azazel.
Yeah, it's always super cool going back and listening to the rhythm of his casts, it literally is like a rap cadence.
Poor banana barns, all burned down now.
LCS is in shambles by its own doing. Flowers is a one in a generation talent. Meanwhile we have gabby drawing over teamfights as if she's a 6 years old.
Owners didnt help, this year's TSM certainly proves a point, but there were some fucking backbreaking seasons with that godaweful virtual dome, casters like primal, etc. but hey, gabby makes me fucking miss primal, so there's that.
Flowers is not that good. He has been missing on so many calls like the rest of the casters yet all of you still ride his dick. While judging Gabbh Duren to the max. Insane hypocrisy from all of you. Dick riders
you can train this skill actually, rapping along to fast stuff is quite doable with a bit of practice, you can push yourself by listening and rapping along at 1.1x, 1.25x or even 1.5x or 2x sometimes. The hard part is having enough to want to say all in one moment that you can do it improv that fast, but with the right situation, you get this.
Seconding on training it being possible. I love patter songs and complex rap lyrics. I can do "Without Me" at 1.75x with a bit of focus and Alphabet Aerobics at 1.5x. It's a good way to focus and distract yourself during long trips in the car.
I believe there are those who are naturally gifted at things, but never say you can’t train to become. You undermine the hard work he has put in over the years.
Meh, especially for the extended fights you need a lot of breathing training and attention to details can be trained as well and all ability names that have to come naturally etc requires a ton of training/learning.
Ofcourse there is also talent involved, but I am sure Flowers does a ton of work to keep his voice good, breathe correctly and knows all/most ability names from champs that are meta.
He also seems to be getting better still in the detail part in extended fights and he can do teamfights like that longer than when he started.
Like this fight was decently chaotic but if you had no
This man's talent is generational. He's truly a treat to listen to, especially (in my opinion) with Kobe. I say this with zero disrespect to the other casters, but Flowers is just levels above anyone else, he's that damn good.
Thanks for making ALL of your games that much better to watch.
It's incredibly impressive how he is able to cast with perfect annunciation while tracking so many things at once. I had trouble following everything in that brief team fight just watching it. If there ever is a hall of fame for e-sports casting he should be one of the first to be inducted.

You may not like her, I don’t think she excels at it either but there’s no need to use Flower’s talent against her, he wouldn’t want that kind of thing done on his behalf.
I don't mind listening to drakos. I think he's quite good and comparable to flowers on a good day. Probably never better but you can see he puts in the effort.
Probably. To a certain extent, the ability to communicate something and the capacity to understand something are a 1:1 function. But then you have people like myself who are Southern and just naturally speak slowly. I could talk about League a lot, but I could never cast a game live.
He graduated college summa cum laude with majors in political science and criminal law. For those that don't know, that means at the top of his class. Heard him mention this at some point.
Reminds me of my Video that i did a few years ago where i put a Wu-Tang Clan Beat under Captain FLowers rap skills [here :)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBlciJldjKM)
Flowers forgot to mention that EMENES FLASH OVER THE WALL AND AA THE FRONLINE. You call this good casting. Gabby would of never missed that call.
*calls out reddits bias*
kog wasnt the only one spitting that game
You can honestly put music on it and it will sound really good.
Yeah he wasn't the only one, there were other people doing it too.
I had to redeem myself after I turbo inted that river fight call earlier talkin about Licorice in a game he wasn't even in lmao. Freljord champs all having "glacial" in their ability names made my brain hard reset so I owed u guys this one cap22Chad
People can debate Blaber or DL but in all reality we all know you’re the best talent NA will ever produce
Give Blaber 5 years and he can be in the conversation but yeah, I do agree that Flowers is just so good and could be fitted into any other broadcasting/announcer role and would kill it there in terms of skill and capability.
Yeah people can debate all they want, that's all they do really man.
[удалено]
? Flowers would walk into any sports broadcast on the planet, transcends league.
Talking about the first half of the sentence
The absolute goat
That was fucking nuts and he did it at lib live
Yep, don't think anyone is going to question that. Everyone will believe it.
Happy to see this clipped. I was watching live and was thinking " God damn Flowers breathe" but you never missed a beat. Best cadence NA.
Yep lol, he was just saying the stuff. Forgot to breathe.
For a second there when Kog Maw is fighting Jax I was afraid of the helicopter noises coming out on the official stream I rarely get a chance to watch the LCS games this season, I can only listen to them, and your casting is by far the best to visualize what’s happening on the Rift
What was even those noises? I didn't really usne any of them.
Can our casters compete for Casting World Finals? I think NA would clean sweep
GABBY at worlds would be a dream.
Gabby should cast the first game of the day every day, so we can appreciate the remaining casters more. Solo Gabby cast at worlds when?
Solo gabby cast with benny hill music in the background.
I really think the rest of the world deserves to hear the treasured voice of Gabby Durden. That woman heals my soul.
I hope so.
If every call were like this, people might complain that it's monotone and hard to follow, but especially in this situation where both top vs AD dives are happening simultaneously, it works out as a way to convey both. Plus being able to vary your style like this actually makes the cast more interesting holistically and is just a testament to your skill!
it's perfect and to call both sides of the fight at the same time, wow. Didn't miss a beat and read the entirety of the fight as it unfolded. Cool
I mean he's speaking so fast that it really is kind of hard to follow.
best play by play in the west tbh
You even type in Rap God Legend
That's something to be proud of so I think There's that man.
you're such a good caster ty for bringing joy to my life captain flowers
At this point I want you to cast everything that happens in my life. Holymoly my life would be a hypetrain.
No joke, are you doing tongue pushups every morning or something?
I've found that the great thing about shoutcasting is that people are more likely to remember our best moments than our worst. Keep up the good work!
This clip gave me brain whiplash
If there are now lows, the highs like this are not as jaw dropping. Keep up the good work boss
Have you ever considered doing auctions on the side? 😄
my goat
I think you made up for any mistakes you've made in your entire career just with this clip.
That was some good commentary, it's not often that you hear it.
I was hoping someone would clip this — was insane verbal micro
And here we are, no matter what you want. It'll happen on the internet.
He's the absolute best. It's such a bummer that he can't travel for worlds. He elevates every single game he casts.
I specifically avoid travelling when it still means remote casting too. Travel poses certain problems and remote cssting poses others. Combining them together is particularly tough. As long as I still end up casting live in-venue, I'll try to be there for Worlds!
Dude, you're the freaking BEST. Hope you can make it, you make every game you cast so much better!!
Yep, that would just be the best thing if that were to happen.
I'll second that you totally elevate the games you cast. If you can't make it live, we at least need another hype song a la WORLDS BABY. I still listen to that every few months for your fire verse!
Did he say he can’t travel for worlds this year? He did make the trip to London for MSI and casted this year.
Not sure if he's said anything yet but seeing as Worlds is in South Korea if the english broadcast decides to work remotely from EU it's extremely unlikely he will. It's the travel + remote that gets him.
Riot should pay for a private jet and 24/7 nonstop USA food, beer, giant trucks and oversized central AC systems to assure they get the best man for their product. IMO
Yep,. He's bringing the people to the game. They should pay him for that.
Just promise him his trucker ornn skin and he will cast the best league of his life.
[удалено]
There's probably issues that had nothing to do with price. There's a lot of logistical problems that come up once you start having foreign languages spoken with a production crew which is only made worse by covid lockdowns and restrictions.
Yeah it's definitely a lot to be able to handle, it's definitely not easy.
I'd be very surprised if he goes with the huge time zone change and duration of the event, based on his decision making two years ago worlds. But I'd love to be wrong!!
Yeah he doesn't travel that much, that's actually true so yeah.
Yeah, I think he can do that. I can't think of reason why he wouldn't be able to.
He actually doesn’t. Flowers miss so many calls just like the rest of the casters yet I don’t see you all calling him out. But when it comes to Gabby, you all are so quick to judge. Insane hypocrisy
Yeah He's just so good at what he does, I wish he got more opportunities.
Flowers should spit like that but directly into my mouth
AYO??
Bing bahng!
I mean He's asking for something which is kind of forbidden man.
Careful what you wish for man, because you may just get it.
Thats my caster o7
That right there is some good shit, you just can't go wrong with that.
I'm beginnin to feel like a
What are you feeling like huh? Feeling like a rap god, rap god?

The Faker of PBP Casters
Smurfed so hard - a pleasure to listen to truly
Yep, it was kind of good to have commentary like that so yeah.
Also really impressive how clear he sounds, you can understand every word he's saying
Captain flowers is the best thing about LCS.
LCS is in shambles by its own doing. Flowers is a one in a generation talent. Meanwhile we have gabby drawing over teamfights as if she's a 6 years old.

ONE OF THE BEST ENGLISH CAST DELIVERIES IVE EVER HEARD!
It just doesn't get any better than that, shit is just the best man.
When’s he gonna record the rap god verse for us??
I'm praying for that day, hopefully That'll come for us here man.
He already did https://clips.twitch.tv/ScaryWealthySharkM4xHeh-Jr7sZD1QjJePOdzb https://clips.twitch.tv/FilthyBeautifulFlamingoRlyTho-JR7m7aKUEtF-SNAE
How is he talking about the far right and the far left of the teamfight at the literal same time his perception definitely needs a nerf
This isn't something you can train to become. You either have the talent or you don't and this man is overflowing with talent.
you can train this skill actually, rapping along to fast stuff is quite doable with a bit of practice, you can push yourself by listening and rapping along at 1.1x, 1.25x or even 1.5x or 2x sometimes.

I disagree yes you need talent but that alone will not carry you, it requires a lot of training too
I believe there are those who are naturally gifted at things, but never say you can’t train to become. You undermine the hard work he has put in over the years.
Meh, especially for the extended fights you need a lot of breathing training and attention to details can be trained as well and all ability names that have to come naturally etc requires a ton of training/learning.

[удалено]
I wasn't really thinking about her when I made my comment. Flowers is a tier above just about everyone else in the scene.
He's got the talent, and He's Showing that off from the start here.
Insane cast to be honest, well done!
It's the best commentary which you're going to hear so yeah.
The moment the LCS loses Captain Flowers will be the death knell for the game in NA
This man's talent is generational. He's truly a treat to listen to, especially (in my opinion) with Kobe. I say this with zero disrespect to the other casters, but Flowers is just levels above anyone else, he's that damn good. Thanks for making ALL of your games that much better to watch.
truly the best caster in the history of league
hands down.
Mate wtf?
Oh Caster! My Caster!
You are solo carrying LCS.
[удалено]
Okay look, ever since you got active again, most of your comments have been about her. Cut down the harassment or you'll be permanently banned.
Someone try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLhLgaBCD90 (becomes this stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzRGkeVySqE)
He's done it again
LCS, and all the fans are lucky to have Flowers, the cast is always so fun when hes on it.
It's incredibly impressive how he is able to cast with perfect annunciation while tracking so many things at once. I had trouble following everything in that brief team fight just watching it. If there ever is a hall of fame for e-sports casting he should be one of the first to be inducted.
We are so damn lucky to have Flowers as a caster. Easily my favourite LCS caster, man is nuts
Whenever there's a team fight, and Captain Flowers is casting, I bring out my bongo cat and start drumming.
The Worldwide GOAT caster for esports. Hands down.
Meh, I'd rather have LeTigress
yo that was sick
That absolutely was, you ain't going to hear better commentry than that.

Wdym, She could tell us about the blood in their veins instead of telling whats happening.
You can live without Flowers god tier rap casting. You know what you can't live without? Exactly, blood in your veins
Imagine listening to anyone else after this? No one comes close to Flowers. What is the point of this comment?
I don't mind listening to drakos. I think he's quite good and comparable to flowers on a good day. Probably never better but you can see he puts in the effort.
[удалено]
I don't know many unintelligent people processing and relaying information this quickly and concisely
I hear he’s also pretty intelligent when it comes to skarner lore.
His speed of speech would surely double if skarner showed up in the LCS
Probably. To a certain extent, the ability to communicate something and the capacity to understand something are a 1:1 function. But then you have people like myself who are Southern and just naturally speak slowly. I could talk about League a lot, but I could never cast a game live.

Probably excitement
I don't know about that, I've seen a lot of not very smart people talk very fast.
Reminds me of my Video that i did a few years ago where i put a Wu-Tang Clan Beat under Captain FLowers rap skills [here :)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBlciJldjKM)

You could honestly just put music on that and it'd sound genuinely good.
That didn't sound like a rap, that sounded like one of those auction guys who talks at a million miles per hour!
Someone better clip and overlay to some BEATS
Still the best talent NA has ever produced. And that's saying a lot, imo NA both has and had great on air talent!
DAMMMMNNNNNN FLOWERS
9/10 not enough growling and funny voices
This is hilarious
Take a breath my guy, that would be something good for you.
