The UK and Ireland have eight members of the MSI 2023 broadcast talent line-up, including host and interviewer Frankie Ward, whose first broadcast was actually the last time a major League of Legends event took place in the UK: the Worlds 2015 quarter finals.
She was there as a senior producer on the web side of things for the BBC, and now she says it’s an honour to be on Riot’s official broadcast talent team for MSI 2023.
Yinsu Collins is known for her Valorant hosting, interviewing and content creation, and made her League of Legends esports broadcast debut at MSI last year. More recently, Yinsu Collins joined the LEC Spring 2023 desk as a guest.
Yinsu said on Twitter: “Ahhhhh gonna be on the MSI broadcast in my hometown! Really excited for this one, thank you Riot for giving me the opportunity to do this for two years in a row.”
Munchables is a veteran talent that now works as a caster for the LPL, and has worked on numerous broadcasts over the years, including the EU Masters and the old ESL UK & Ireland Premierships. He’s been working hard to make a huge international major like this and deserves the chance.
Munchables added: “The one thing I do need to say is that I feel bad to be doing MSI when Hysterics is not. He’s the most veteran LPL caster we have and is one of the best in the world at what he does. I’ve edged this one out because I’m local, but you’ve gotta believe he deserves Worlds.”
And for the first time in his career, Dash was also not invited to be a part of MSI.
Medic and Vedius are regular casters in the European LEC, and have been for years now, as is Caedrel, an ex pro player that has made a name for himself with his streaming and analyst work.
Looking to Ireland, and both Dagda and Oisín Molloy also have a host of top-level experience in LoL broadcasting, from the LEC to EMEA Masters, Worlds and more.
Oisín said: “Always a privilege to see my name alongside some of the best in the business and massive shoutout to Munchables making his international debut!”
Update (May 1st 2023): UK caster Aux has been added to the line-up as Caedrel is instead working as a co-streamer.
Also, non-UK and Ireland casters Guldborg and Chronicler have worked on UK scene broadcasts, such as the NLC and beyond.
“Coming back to London for the first time in four years and I am fairly excited,” Chronicler said.
So there you have it, the MSI 2023 broadcast talent line-up!
