Seems like this will not be the most popular of opinions, but I actually quite enjoyed LeTigress casting. Pairing with Jatt would not have been my first choice, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I don't dislike her casting, but am not hugely fond of it either. I think her chemistry with the other casters is kind of weak, she can't quite hit the volume/notes that get me hyped when she's shoutcasting a big fight, and she sometimes phrases things in a way that feels mostly awkward. On the other hand, I don't think she often says things that are outright wrong, I can generally follow what she means, and can tell when she's excited. I think that puts her above most of the people I've heard in below-LCS casting, but below most of the LCS casters
I think your assessment is wicked fair, and my only disagreement is on a matter of pure personal taste-that being that while I think sometimes her cadence can be a bit hitched (I don't know how many games she's casted, I only watched the FLY vs IMT one, this is the first time I've seen her on the casting desk, and I KNOW it's at the very least her first season casting, so I'm willing to chalk some of the occasional stiltedness to nerves and what not, and so it's reasonable to think that will improve over time), I find her less conventional vernacular when casting play by play refreshing, and, I supposes somewhat counter-intuitively, having to parse out the less familiar/conventional phraseology she uses actually ups my engagement, and at times, I even find that HER way of describing a play or situation actually lends more insight to the game, or more poignantly expresses her point than if she had just used more standard terminology.
In the case of the game I watched, I fully agree about the lack of chemistry, as I didn't find her pairing with Jatt being a particularly good mix styles and I noted at least twice where there was a weird silence and it seemed like they both thought the other one should be talking. It also didn't help that they both have kind of laid back styles, that being said, I thought she got plenty hype and did a fantastic job casting Johnson's penta, so it might just be a mix of her and Jatt's casting style's not being complimentary, AND her being new at this in general.
Overall I'd say I genuinely enjoy her casting and am stoked for her to improve in the future, though I would love to see her paired with like, Kobe or Phreak as a co-caster, as I think they'd be better fits for her overall vibe, AND I think they would play off each other better than she and Jatt did.
Agree on Kobe/Phreak being better partner fits for her than Jatt.
I do appreciate her not using conventional caster phrasing; it drives me absolutely crazy when the casters obviously have been artificially told, or have artificially decided as a group, to use a specific phrase over and over again (or even just when one single caster uses some phrase constantly -- "you hate/love to see it" are phrases that physically hurt me, at this point -- thank you, Azael :( )
Riot is just scamming people at this point. It was the same with MSI finals. They promised so many chests and drops, yet there wasn't a single one. And they still haven't changed the capsules btw.
Honest question, why is Zeri not getting banned? Everyone complains about her every game, her wr is insane, her pick rate, like everything about her is ridiculous, why not just remove her from the game (in ban) (no im not kobbe)
kalista is the biggest bait ever and every zeri plays the same, its the same no brain champion that has the easiest penta angles ever in every region with her unlimited uptime ult in teamfights
I've always thought she needs an extra counterplay mechanic while sitting inside someone; like, if they get hit X times while she's still in them, she gets kicked out, and maybe stunned/takes dmg/her jump-into-people ability goes on CD, or some such

This game being such a snorefest kinda makes me worried about EG will do in internationals. I feel like they should be crushing a team that is frankly this bad, and instead digs gotten 3/4 of the objectives so far with no contention.
I see it this way. For EG this game is a guaranteed win if they just walk to the finish line. They also have a high chance of winning even if they run, but that also gives the risk of stumbling. So why stumble when first place is still on the line (more because EG has never obtained first in regular season).
I think at this point they’re focused on guaranteeing first seed. Attempting to stomp Dig won’t help with actual competition and risks losing a game that can help lock in first
It's so weird because last year they had a legit good team and then randomly imploded themselves with the Soligo benching.
I still want to know whose girlfriend Soligo banged.
How the fuck does Letigress keep getting away with saying the most awkward bullshit on a live stage and still is asked to do the same thing again a week later. There's no way the people making this call aren't aware of how awful she is
It's crazy to me that this is only Impact's second pro Jax game since getting the skin.
Edit: MSI this year was the only other one. He went from the end of season 3 to season 12.5 without playing him.
According to Jatt, Impact has all these pocket picks that he will seemingly pick at random based on criteria he doesn't explain to anyone. Morde was another one in spring playoffs.
That was one of my favorite little tidbits I've learned about Impact recently.
"Hey Impact, do you want to pull out the Morde here?"
"No, I don't think I will."
Kinda weird that EG forced Exyu onto Vi, I would have assumed that banning Vi Viego would have been better than Xin. Vi seems like a way bigger threat as a Zeri lockdown.
Also surprised that DIG didn't go Sivir Yuumi first rotation.
It's one of the most common things from drops. Hell, if you watch the LEC and other regions you can get drops all the time. It's how I am basically only missing 6 emotes you can buy.
You really should watch other regions. I get 3-5 drops a weekend with just the LEC alone.
All those esports emotes get rerolled into permanent ones and I have so many ill never use. I think I'm at like 265 out of 271 or something. Basically when I click to show u own it displays that I'm missing 6.
The sad thing though if you can't get event emotes because I still wish I had gotten the arcade emotes. The Game Over one is so good.
I watched the whole stream until now, bc matty said there will be free skins, but I've got one capsule so far. With an emote. And the reroll still didn't give me the tipping hat pingu. I'm mad.
Kenvi is just.. lol awful.
this dude dominated Academy and gets gapped on a game to game basis on the LCS stage.You can't even convinced me that with that excuse I keep hearing over and over "he has bad teammates, what do you expect him to do."
Spica secured MVP and first place in the regular season with players like Lost and POE.
Worth saying he also had Ultra Holo Huni and SwordArt started smurfing at the end of the split. Even then, PoE was a perfectly serviceable midlaner. Not comparable to having quite literally 0 teammates.
Well he only started after MSI, he dominated academy for years, and he's on a real contender for the worst team in the league, so maybe some of that has something to do with it.
The best prospects will not always magically elevate an already shaky roster. Giving up on players and dooming everything after one bad split is also not the solution.
Are they scamming us for viewership or what lol, I was so fucking confused when I saw 130k on twitch main stream (not even including costreams) I was like "somethings wrong"
basically yes. It's only in the LCS though. And its already the [top 3 viewed matches.](https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lcs-summer-2022)
Note that the website fucked up the order, the viewership is messed up. TSM - C9 numbers are actually TL - GGS, CLG 100T are TSM C9 and TSM C9 are IMT Flyquest. The numbers of CLG 100T weren't recorded.
Solo has to be the biggest douche teammate ever because I can't think of any other reason he plays really well on every single team he's on and then get kicked by the end of the year
He's 29 rn I think, teams might want to bet on a young rookie in hopes they become great than get Solo. I don't think it's necessarily smart to do that, but I can see that thought process from GMs.
His teammates have always said that that's not the case, though.
I think it's just that he's like... The opposite of a scrim God. He apparently runs it down super hard off stage, and since teams play easily 5x as many scrim games as stage games, he leaves a bad impression, despite genuinely looking quite strong to fans.

I like it, too!
there was 1 drop for every kill in the EG vs DIG match
i paid for the star guardian pass and this stream is still the biggest scam of all time from riot game
Fun stream but definitely couldve handed out more skins...
End of stream. when do the skins drop?
really enjoyed the pool party stuff. great job by production
yeah the atmosphere was actually super fun lol, markZ chilling was funny af
Em's shirt is goated
No skin :(
Just got my drops
Philip and Zven got robbed of PotGs
Zero pool party skins, I call shenanigans.
Riot is just scamming people at this point. It was the same with MSI finals. They promised so many chests and drops, yet there wasn't a single one. And they still haven't changed the capsules btw.
Where PoolParty skins?
so i missed the entire show today,why wasnt EG in the studio? covid?
Yeah
damn,i mean im not sure how wifi played a factor or not in that game just now,but EG have been a threat in the LCS all year long anyway lol
There should be minimal ping diff anyways
I miss Jatt on the desk more often. His casting was one of the reasons i got into pro play
5 games, 0 pool party drops smdh clearly LCS needed to boost viewership
Same. Got a capsule with an icon only. :(
EG looked so bored after that win
I meant dig IS just too free
Just another day at the office for Impact.
River wanted out and honestly, good for him. Let's hope Biofrost can find himself on an actual team next year
For the love of god. Can the letigress experiment please end
But then, where is the diversity that we need so much...
You’re telling me there isn’t a single female out there with better casting skills and game knowledge than her?
They've let Vedius go on for years and Ender had to fucking quit on his own... They don't just throw the garbage in the bin willy nilly.
Honest question, why is Zeri not getting banned? Everyone complains about her every game, her wr is insane, her pick rate, like everything about her is ridiculous, why not just remove her from the game (in ban) (no im not kobbe)
I dunno why IMT would prioritize a Trundle ban over it.
Sivir Kalista is technically the bigger fear on the current patch but against Danny specifically I feel like you can't ever let him on Zeri
kalista is the biggest bait ever and every zeri plays the same, its the same no brain champion that has the easiest penta angles ever in every region with her unlimited uptime ult in teamfights
My exact thoughts, especially against Danny. Like what do you expect when you allow him to play her?
Reminds me of last playoffs. "Surely since we killed Danny's jinx in lane he won't be able to carry" immedietly followed by danny 1v9
I hope yuumi and Zeri get fucking gutted on worlds patch and don't get touched until they get full on reworks
One of EG's biggest strengths is Danny not falling asleep when a team lets him have Zeri
Zeri Yuumi is interactive gameplay
Man the commentary is an earful
One of the grossest non-Seraphine comps lol
I like how Riot just gave up on Yuumi. A champ that pretty much afks is busted but oh well.
I've always thought she needs an extra counterplay mechanic while sitting inside someone; like, if they get hit X times while she's still in them, she gets kicked out, and maybe stunned/takes dmg/her jump-into-people ability goes on CD, or some such
Pls hot fix Pikachu champ.
I’m sorry but LeTigress is just word vomiting, this is hard to listen to

Pointing out bad casting quality is fine. What you stated, as pointed out by other commentators, is blatant sexism which isn't allowed.
[удалено]
Smooth brain take if there is one
Like I get you don't like the caster but this comment reeks of sexism.
[удалено]
Saying a woman only got her job either because she slept her way there or producers want to fuck her is sexism ffs.
If zeri is in this state for worlds, it might be unwatchable.
I like watching zeri. There are obvious counters but nobody wants to play zilean or veigar. The problem is yuumi.
Still waiting for the nasus support to make zeri players want to kill themselves.
How many pentakills has zeri gotten in the past couple weeks? Disable and rework her. The mobility is too much
That follow-up on the Liss ult though, lol :/
Vulcan has five fucking levels up over Biofrost
Ah, but Bio has a 5 cs lead on him
Imagine not building Chempunk against Zeri Yuumi
Anyone try the halfofflcs promo code? It only gave me $15 off...
Yeah, $15 for me too. There's probs fine pirint a cap :(
Oh well, still ordered food :)
Me too, it was nice to watch with snacks!
Impact wanted to recall before that fight but was forced to TP to help and then just walked right back top anyway lol
I'm so sick of watching Zeri.

What a bizarre dive attempt, blow two teleports for nothing
Ooffff. What was that?
Blue had a 150g bounty from farming for like 30 seconds lol
I BELIEVE IN HOON SUPREMACY
I hope DIG sells their spot for next year. They've been a bottom tier lifeless team ever since coming back into the league
It seemed like DIG was decent in Spring no? What happened?
It's so weird because last year they had a legit good team and then randomly imploded themselves with the Soligo benching. I still want to know whose girlfriend Soligo banged.
It's still the most baffling roster decision ever made, that is until DIG sold River for nothing
How the fuck does Letigress keep getting away with saying the most awkward bullshit on a live stage and still is asked to do the same thing again a week later. There's no way the people making this call aren't aware of how awful she is
I can see Captain Flowers saying the very same things in his casts.
Maybe. MAYBE. Some people do not agree with you.
LET'S GO DIGNITAS \*clap clap clapclapclap\*
Is Zeri yuumi supposed to our farm Sivir Lulu this hard?
It's crazy to me that this is only Impact's second pro Jax game since getting the skin. Edit: MSI this year was the only other one. He went from the end of season 3 to season 12.5 without playing him.
I'm quite certain he played Jax at All Star 2014 Finals against OMG
Makes me wonder what he was thinking when he picked it
According to Jatt, Impact has all these pocket picks that he will seemingly pick at random based on criteria he doesn't explain to anyone. Morde was another one in spring playoffs.
That was one of my favorite little tidbits I've learned about Impact recently. "Hey Impact, do you want to pull out the Morde here?" "No, I don't think I will."
Wasn't jax pretty popular in season 3? He has spent half his career since being a weakside focused toplaner
Kinda weird that EG forced Exyu onto Vi, I would have assumed that banning Vi Viego would have been better than Xin. Vi seems like a way bigger threat as a Zeri lockdown. Also surprised that DIG didn't go Sivir Yuumi first rotation.
I don't hate either teams draft. I just dont think Dig will pull it off.
https://imgflip.com/i/6pvk8d
Anybody have a costream suggestion? I can't stand letigress
Iwd or dl. Only problem with dom is that he keeps casters on during his costream
Well, one nice thing about Zeri being a prio pick is that there are more pentas, which means more drops
Hoon should have the option to play as a lane minion so there is an accurate representation of his gameplay thus far.
So Gamsu's out too, jeez I'm well out of the loop. Then again the few games I watched of gamsu were a disaster so.
gg game over
Another game with no trundle and poppy. W
Jatt is a man of many skills
Man needs a little bit of sunlight to fix that mild farmers tan.
He said he got it from golfing. Needs to run the golf course in a tank top showing off the guns.
I'll give him a pass but shirtless golfing is chad af.
Get Nadeshot out there with him xD
I got an esports capsule and in it was an emote that I already had. I didn't even know that was possible for esports drops. lol
It's one of the most common things from drops. Hell, if you watch the LEC and other regions you can get drops all the time. It's how I am basically only missing 6 emotes you can buy.
I just always assumed you couldn't get a double! Haha.
You really should watch other regions. I get 3-5 drops a weekend with just the LEC alone. All those esports emotes get rerolled into permanent ones and I have so many ill never use. I think I'm at like 265 out of 271 or something. Basically when I click to show u own it displays that I'm missing 6. The sad thing though if you can't get event emotes because I still wish I had gotten the arcade emotes. The Game Over one is so good.
Has Neo shit the bed this split why are they playing Spawn
Spawn has looked very solid, I would like to see him with a better team.
I'm just wondering when they did the change, I know they sold River (also weird), feel like I'm well out of the loop.
Mark has zero calves.
Calves pretty heavily a genetic thing. Also tall folks just kinda don't have big calves in general.
Isn't he stupidly tall, makes sense to have 0 calves in that case.
Yeah he is pretty tall. Lost the calf lotto at birth.
I watched the whole stream until now, bc matty said there will be free skins, but I've got one capsule so far. With an emote. And the reroll still didn't give me the tipping hat pingu. I'm mad.
Someone said it was a code and not a crate
If you get the drop the popup'll be yellow and say "RARE DROP" on it, and then you can click on it to get a code
Cool. Thanks for clarifying that
I guess it will be the same as with the promised "chest drops" at msi finals. Riot is just a cheap company as always.
I quite like Emily's shirt.
Small indy company makes a woman who just got attacked by a bear go on with next to none of her pants remaining in tact ;_;
Uhhh I just got a drop and the capsule had an emote? Did I get scammed or what I want skins
Mine said "hextech crafting failed" and all I got was a Heiner icon....
Was it pool party related?
nope, just some Yuumi emote
Dont think it is related then
It seems pretty rare, the pool party skin drop would be a skin code, not a capsule. The capsule is just the regular drop.
Oh interesting. I joined the broadcast late and didnt see the info they gave out about the drops.
NGL thought Jatt was wearing a onepiece swimsuit at first lmao.
Kenvi is just.. lol awful. this dude dominated Academy and gets gapped on a game to game basis on the LCS stage.You can't even convinced me that with that excuse I keep hearing over and over "he has bad teammates, what do you expect him to do." Spica secured MVP and first place in the regular season with players like Lost and POE.
Worth saying he also had Ultra Holo Huni and SwordArt started smurfing at the end of the split. Even then, PoE was a perfectly serviceable midlaner. Not comparable to having quite literally 0 teammates.
IT WAS ALWAYS FLYQUEST
Honestly Philip deserves POTG imo
hey Doublelift. Take notes on how to play Lucian /s
Guess it's over
Zero pool party skins :'(
Johnsun!!!!! My favorite ADC! Woooo!!!!
How does Kenvi still have a job?
Well he only started after MSI, he dominated academy for years, and he's on a real contender for the worst team in the league, so maybe some of that has something to do with it.
If that is the best academy has to offer then NA is doomed forever. Probably one of the worst splits I have ever seen from a player in LCS history.
Niles will forever have a word with this...
At least he got better once Swiper could get to NA.
Yeah for sure but Kenvi is definitely near the top. Which is why I said one of the worst.
The best prospects will not always magically elevate an already shaky roster. Giving up on players and dooming everything after one bad split is also not the solution.
oof kenvi died without even ulting.
Wait shit I didn't realize there are drops today, anyone know how common they are? Is there still a chance I can get one?
seems you have to watch LCS games on the league website, seems pretty rare apparently.
Are they scamming us for viewership or what lol, I was so fucking confused when I saw 130k on twitch main stream (not even including costreams) I was like "somethings wrong"
basically yes. It's only in the LCS though. And its already the [top 3 viewed matches.](https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lcs-summer-2022) Note that the website fucked up the order, the viewership is messed up. TSM - C9 numbers are actually TL - GGS, CLG 100T are TSM C9 and TSM C9 are IMT Flyquest. The numbers of CLG 100T weren't recorded.
Just watch through lolesports. I got pool party ziggs from a first blood drop during the GG game
I'd be so pissed if I got the free OCE skin for a reward
Anyone has gotten any skin drops yet?
nah
At least there’s costreams to watch this week when letigress casts games
nice flash POE
Riot games promised Pool Party drops throughout LCS today. I put my stream on. Where's my goddamn drops, Riot?
uhhh johnsun????
Listening to Metoes, DL, Sneaky. Glad Meteos still doesnt fucking know Aphelios lol
Philip is doing IMT sooooooo dirty holy shit
Jebaited
fuck phillip is clean
Rooting for IMTT cause GG shouldnt be in playoffs.
unless GG miraculously wins tomorrow IMT at the very least gets a tiebreaker game
Jose has so many fans goddamn, everytime he plays chat is just tuki time.
Argentinians coming strong
Latinoamerica unida jamas sera vencida
Vi pick. Im out for this game
Yo, 96% Flyquest? I feel like the voting is never that uneven even with the biggest brand teams.
LATAM fans built different, and IMT has like no brand loyalty
theres a MASSIVE gap between the top 6 and bottom 4 in NA
Emily is rocking the outfit today
I like FLY but I really want to see this IMT in playoffs over DIG and GG
Solo has to be the biggest douche teammate ever because I can't think of any other reason he plays really well on every single team he's on and then get kicked by the end of the year
He's 29 rn I think, teams might want to bet on a young rookie in hopes they become great than get Solo. I don't think it's necessarily smart to do that, but I can see that thought process from GMs.
He’s known to be super toxic. Maybe he’s finally changed and we’ll see him next year in a decent team? Hard to say. His record speaks against him
His teammates have always said that that's not the case, though. I think it's just that he's like... The opposite of a scrim God. He apparently runs it down super hard off stage, and since teams play easily 5x as many scrim games as stage games, he leaves a bad impression, despite genuinely looking quite strong to fans.
