ESL has revealed the on-air crew for the offline finals of the ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2.

Next week, the top four teams from the European and the North American divisions of the ESL ESEA Pro League will compete in Burbank for the lion's share of a $250,000 prize pool.

After previously announcing the groups and the format for the tournament, which will kick off with a best-of-three, double-elimination group stage, ESL has now unveiled an 11-person broadcast crew.

sgares to provide commentary at the Pro League finals

Hosting the event will be Alex "Machine" Richardson, who is joined by an extensive list that includes Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares, who stepped down from Cloud9's lineup last month.

The full on-air crew for the ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2 finals consists of:

Alex "Machine" Richardson (Host)

Lauren "Pansy" Scott (Caster)
Cory "Megaman" Gilbert (Caster)
Anders Blume (Caster)
Auguste "Semmler" Massonnat (Caster)
John "blu" Mullen (Caster)
Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett (Caster)
Jason "⁠moses⁠" O'Toole (Caster)
Robin "⁠Fifflaren⁠" Johansson (Caster)
Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares (Caster)

Heather "⁠sapphiRe⁠" Garozzo (Observer)

You really are the best, then.

2015-12-04 19:23

Just to clarify, original comment was "Richael Lewis is a POS". Then I remembered Thorin is no different, and forgot to adjust the sentence.

ROFL.

2015-12-04 19:38

They don't want any fights I guess (talking about Richard at DHWINTER2015).

well the analysis desk might be bearable if anders moses and fifflaren/sgares are on it. other than that idc i'll just mute

2015-12-04 18:37

+1. If they could keep Semmler, Thoorin, and RL off, that's good in my books. That two are off is good. I wish they'd keep Semmler off too.

2015-12-04 18:41

Why? Semmler and Anders best couple

2015-12-09 20:44

this is what makes this good even when those two retards aren't there.

2015-12-04 18:38

esl events always w/o them. anyways i think rlewis would make a 10 times better host and thorin is always great to have, but seeing as this is esl and we cant have them two, the lineup actually looks insanely good.

2015-12-04 18:56

Esl doesnt like thorin and Rlewis, and thorin doesn't like the way esl does their business, they will never come along, so esl events are almost guaranteed without those guys.

2015-12-04 22:35

the only choking will be from TSM

2015-12-05 04:07

amazing :)

2015-12-04 19:52

host is such an important part of the desk...machine sucks dick...it will be better if they let fiffy anders semmler talk....machine has zero knowledge about game and asks retarded questions

2015-12-04 20:00

retarded desks are coming back bois with machine aka the noob host :/....event without d banter squad sucks...desks will be shit like most esl events

2015-12-04 19:58

2015-12-04 20:39

no Thorin, no fun :(

2015-12-04 20:43

nice sapphire observer

2015-12-04 20:46

seang@res <3

2015-12-04 21:00

Where is tosspot?

2015-12-04 21:29

no RL/Thorin = tuning in right when matches start while having the stream muted coz of pansy I'm just honest

2015-12-04 22:05

only tosspot is missing.. but sgares <3 you handsome motherfucker ily

2015-12-04 22:14

impressive how they manage to put so many godawful casters at the same event, 3½ years and half of them doesnt know how the moneysystem works. good job ESL

Good to see Megaman getting a chance. Incoming "turtled up" calls :)

2015-12-04 22:52

2015-12-06 19:45

SEAN GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES almost makes up for the pansy

2015-12-05 01:20

expected

2015-12-05 06:01

Why is pansy casting? Not saying she's bad as a person, but as a caster, it's like she's repeating what's going on screen without providing any analysis to it.

2015-12-05 08:30

+ddk +black ddk

2015-12-05 08:39

awful observer ....

2015-12-05 22:54

I've noticed Fiffy doesn't cast very well, often saying teams have no chance, derails hype and makes game more boring. Good casters keep the dream alive, otherwise why watch? I think he is much better suited to the desk. edit: I do like Fiffy for the record
