Over the past few days, the broadcast talent line-up in two tournaments – the Dota 2 International and CSGO European RMR – has been announced.

UK talent Frankie Ward was notably absent from this year’s TI 11 following her involvement in the 2021 International last year.

The International will once again see some of the top Dota 2 orgs compete with one another, like OG, Spirit, TSM and EG.
Two London-headquartered organisations will also be taking part this year, with Fnatic qualifying for The International 2022 and Tundra qualifying for The International 2022.
In other recent Dota 2 news, we interviewed TeaGuvnor on coaching Esports England’s Dota 2 team and the state of the scene, and Team Great Britain’s Dota 2 esports team roster was announced for the Global Esports Games 2022 Istanbul.
UK CSGO talent a part of European RMR broadcast
CSGO is a game that has produced plenty of British casters and personalities over the years, and several rising stars have joined this week’s RMR broadcast.
The Intel Extreme Masters Road to Rio 2022: European RMR will feature Pala, Freya Spiers, BDog, TheEternalJay, Ne0kai, ReTr00, TravCS and Skriv, as well as LucyLuce, an Australian caster based in the UK.
As for the teams, London-headquartered Fnatic will be taking part, featuring UK player mezii.
The RMR gets underway on October 4th 2022 in Malta and runs until October 9th.
Well-known UK player smooya recently qualified for the IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR but his CSGO mix team missed out on attending due to visa issues.
