The LoL Worlds 2022 broadcast talent line-up has today been announced by Riot Games, and there are a few UK and Ireland personalities in the mix once again.

Welshman Vedius (pictured) is one of the most notable entrants from our shores this time around, given it’ll be his sixth League of Legends World Championship in a row having been a part of the broadcast every year since 2017.

He’s joined once again by popular UK caster and Excel Esports streamer, Caedrel, as well as Irish casters Dagda and Oisín Molloy, all of which were part of last year’s broadcast too.

One notable absentee this time around is UK caster Medic, who said he was invited by Riot onto the Worlds 2022 broadcast, but declined in favour of taking a break.

“It is with a heavy heart that I decide to bow out,” Medic said, “but mentally and emotionally I’m pretty done.”

Medic also took a short break from the LEC earlier this year, and has been vocal around burnout and mental health in the past.

Other absent UK LoL caster talent include the likes of Aux, Nymaera, Munchables and more.

Nymaera made the point that it’d be good to have talent from various other regions, like Oceania, to help tell their stories internationally, from the source.

In terms of hosting and casting talent from other regions, there’s Dutch caster Chronicler, who has cast in the UK scene in the past, at events like Insomnia Gaming Festival and more, and now the Korean LCK.

There’s also Danish caster Guldborg, who has worked on the NLC (UK/Ireland/Nordics) and LFL (France) and LEC (EU) broadcasts, not to mention experienced broadcasters Sjokz (Belgium), Laure (France), Quickshot (South Africa) and others.

There’s also a host of North American talent, like Phreak, CaptainFlowers, Kobe, Emily Rand and others.

You can see the full line-up in Riot’s Twitter announcement and article below:

London-headquartered organisation Fnatic will be taking part in Worlds this year, as will fellow EU teams G2 Esports and Rogue.

G2 were recently involved in some bad press, with G2 Carlos taking unpaid leave after community backlash to a video of him partying with Andrew Tate.
