UK League of Legends colour caster Dan ‘Aux’ Harrison has been officially announced as part of the LCK broadcast talent line-up for 2023.
Aux’s move to cover the Korean League of Legends tournament series has been in the works for a while, but visa issues meant the announcement was delayed to today.
He joins fellow casters Atlus, Valdes, Chronicler and Wolf, as well as Huni on the analyst desk and host Laure Valée (who has also had visa issues) as part of the LCK English language broadcast team.
Aux said he was “so excited to be part of such a fantastic region” in the official reveal:
Aux is an experienced caster, having worked on plenty of broadcasts in the past including the UKLC, NLC, LPL and more.
Prior to his casting work, he played League of Legends as a support for the likes of Excel Esports.
The LCK features Korea’s best League of Legends teams such as Gen.G, KT Rolster, T1, Worlds 2022 winners DRX and more.
‘Working on the LCK has been a long-term dream of mine’ – Aux talks to Esports News UK
We caught up with Aux about his move to the LCK.
He said: “Working on the LCK has been a long-term dream of mine, the region and English broadcast have always been phenomenal since I started watching pro LoL back in season 4.
“I’m super excited and just hoping to do justice to this storied region.
“Working on the LPL was an absolute blast and I want to thank all the fans who not only supported me there but have continued to show support after I’ve moved to the LCK. And to the LCK fanbase, thanks so much for the warm welcome and I hope I can do your favourite region justice!”
The caster added that the visa ‘was always going to take a fair bit of time, but just ended up taking longer than expected, unfortunately’.
It’s been an issue for others too, with Atlus also having some challenges getting his visa years ago.
