For the first time since 2022, I’m not going to be a regular on any LoL broadcast

What that does mean is I’m looking for broadcast work!

- 5+ years casting/broadcast experience, inc. Tier 1 international work
- Play-by-Play specialist, with experience as analyst, host, interviewer & content
- Worked on LoL, TFT, Marvel Rivals, Deadlock, Supervive, Honor of Kings + more
- As seen on LEC, Worlds 2025 (costream), EWC, EMEA Masters

Eyes are obviously on mid - how could it not be? - but I actually think this gets decided by Jungle/Support

Canyon is on superlative form, but Xun/ON have been monsters in playoffs.

I actually think if Viper and ON mash botlane lvls 1-3, and unlock ON to roam (seriously - check his bot proximity percentages) I give the edge to BLG

Either way we’re in for a banger!

🇨🇳 Knight vs Chovy 🇰🇷
🇰🇷 Viper vs Ruler 🇰🇷

38% chance BLG 🇨🇳 wins Worlds 2026 ‼️

Who takes it? 🤔

Honestly, with the amount of gear hate and destruction available right now, I’m not actually convinced Aurora and Baited Hook were *that* problematic

imo signals that devs want to depower ramp options in general
