ESL UK has announced that UK esports veteran Harry “Lethal” Thomas has joined the company as a full-time caster.
He will host and cast a variety of ESL UK tournaments and events, starting with the Quake Champions European Go4 on June 3rd.
Harry began his esports career as a professional Halo player in 2002. He competed professionally for 14 years and won more than 25 European tournaments.
Since retiring, Harry has travelled the world as an esports analyst and caster for multiple titles. Most recently, he has also worked in UK esports management for ZOWIEbyBenQ.
“Harry brings a depth of knowledge for multiple esports titles that fans will love. It’s also a real privilege to have more homegrown talent join the ESL UK team.”

The news comes after ESL UK’s previous full-time caster, Joe “Munchables” Fenny, announced his departure. Munchables has moved to the US where he will be working for ESP Gaming to work as talent and as a producer on their esports productions.
“We’re delighted to welcome Harry as a full-time member of ESL UK,” said Rob Black, UK COO at ESL. “Harry’s extensive experience in esports, both in the UK and internationally, makes him a perfect fit for our team.
“Harry brings a depth of knowledge for multiple esports titles that fans will love, and that will help give fans unique insights into teams play styles. It’s also a real privilege to have more homegrown talent join the ESL UK team.”
Harry added: “I’m really excited to join ESL UK. I first worked with the team on the ESL EU Halo Pro League, back in 2016. I was immediately impressed by the high quality of their tournaments and the overwhelming passion of the team. I can’t wait to get started!”
