ECS Season 1 finals talent announced

21-6-2016 20:26

The talent lineup for the ECS Season 1 finals broadcast from the SSE Arena has now been revealed.

The ECS Season 1 finals represent the conclusion to the first part of the two season $3.5 million Esports Championship Series venture between FACEIT and Twitch.

With an extremely stacked lineup of eight world class teams attending, the ECS Season 1 finals will take place from June 24-26 in the SSE Arena (previously known as the Wembley Arena) in London, the United Kingdom.

The two ddk's will represent their homebase of London for the ECS S1 finals

We already know the official groups and, judging by previous FACEIT tournaments, are unlikely to know the specific prize-pool distribution for this event but ECS have now announced the official broadcast talent for the Season 1 finals.

Perhaps the most notable persona on the official talent lineup is former 1.6 player and former HLTV.org writer Tomi "⁠lurppis⁠" Kovanen, who was a regular staple of talent desks a few years back but who has recently been inactive on that front due to work commitments. The full list can be found below:

Scott "Sir Scoots" Smith - Desk host
Sue "Smix" Lee - Stage host

James "⁠BARDOLPH⁠" Bardolph - Commentator
Daniel "⁠ddk⁠" Kapadia - Commentator
Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett - Commentator
Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer - Commentator

Robin "⁠Fifflaren⁠" Johansson - Analysis
Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović - Analysis
Tomi "⁠lurppis⁠" Kovanen - Analysis

We are excited to announce the talent line-up for the ECS Finals! #ECSWembley pic.twitter.com/Rp1dTnc6Et

ökm

thank god. no launders and budget anders.

+1, launders was the worst

2016-06-21 22:45

yeah.. Dont get me wrong, budget anders is OK, but launders is torture for my ears. Impossible for me to enjoy a match with him casting... Didnt watch half the games of DH summer cuz of his monotone and boring voice.

2016-06-21 23:00

nip on t side plant bomb on pistol but lose the round. next round they full save. launders: "wow nip don't even invest in armor." metuz: "well yeah they are saving for aks next round." next round, nip buy aks. launders: "oh, nip planted bomb on pistol and saved last round so they could get aks!" you don't say... there were times when it just seemed like he wasn't even watching the game, that's what i hate about him

2016-06-23 14:01
