With that context: we do have a unique flavor. We draw a lot of inspiration from that type of show. Not everybody likes Saturday Night Live and the sketches they do. You either like the jokes and the cold opens and the content choices we make, or you don't. Anybody that is on social media will have opinions. I won't use the casting as an example I actually think our supplementary content is what brings it true. There absolutely are cultural differences. A part of the feedback could just be because of cultural differences. The LEC is not just watched by Europeans, but also by a large American audience. Learning to explain that to our viewers and building that understanding will go a long way to address the concerns, as opposed to pivoting 180 degrees and changing how we do our jobs.

It's the reason they're pro players, and we're not. Of course pro players are going to be the most informed. Going into the discussion: a lot of the stuff was about gameplay knowledge, and contrasting it to pro players. So it is important to dilute the difference between what's personal opinion and preference, versus what is actually critical. It's impossible to expect to love all nine people and all nine styles. We have three core play-by-play casters, three core color casters, we have Yamato, Laure, and Sjokz. That's why we have a team of nine people. When people say: "I don't like this caster," I get it. Is all the feedback you get valid to you? That's why we have a team of nine people." In the context of something like 'new year, new teams, new content,' there will obviously always be some discussion, and it's something that we take seriously. And it's not to mitigate or to undermine the feedback we're hearing, right? It's to understand just how serious and critical it is. You weigh how much of the feedback was actually negative feedback.Įxactly. How many comments are there, what's the contrast in the post-match threads, and then form a picture. One of the things especially true for me, in my role as talent manager, is that I have to look through and understand the numbers. It's also important to quantify the feedback that we got.
A large number of viewers means there'll be a large number of new viewers. But we're talking about approximately four hundred thousand concurrent viewers. But I think it is also important to acknowledge that we had one of the most viewed games in regular Split history-numbers of course unverified. Scale matters.Įverybody on my team took time to discuss what it means to the individuals, what it means to the team, what it means to the broadcast as a whole and what we want to do to address it. There is no smoke without a fire, but it's also important to understand whether we're talking about a candle burning, or about a forest fire. When we take into consideration some of the criticism at specifically the shoutcaster team during week three of the LEC, it is important to dilute everything you read. Obviously, when you read through feedback of any sort, a lot of it is going to be emotionally charged. To start: I am very thankful that we have so many passionate fans, who are so invested that they are willing to share their thoughts.
Last week the LEC broadcast got a lot of feedback from the League of Legends community.
He shared how his team deals with feedback, and explained why he will never apologize for the editorial choices his broadcast team makes. Trevor "Quickshot" Henry, Talent Manager at Riot Games and on-air talent at the LEC, sat down with Inven Global's Tom Matthiesen to discuss the community backlash. The tone of the league, coverage, and individual on-air talent were scrutinized quite heavily. However, after the third week of the LEC, the League of Legends community audibly pushed back against the broadcast. Needless to say, Riot tried to continue that trend in 2020. The franchise grew its audience quickly during its inaugural year with fast-paced content, alternating between lighthearted fun and a serious competitive tone. The League of Legends European Championship was one of the most successful esports leagues in 2019.
