In response to what Bren said, he is wrong. It's so bad. There are 2 duos that are good: Bren/Sideshow and Hypoc/Pansy. First has good insight and okay hype. Imo they are the best, because when I listen to them, it feels like they actually play the fucking game lol. Second has okay insight, good hype. The rest are really bad.
I think Doug is cringe af, and he offers no insight into the game and has really cringe wordplay. "When you dance with the devilish Dapr, it's a done deal!" That shit is seared in my mind for eternity because of how fucking dumb it is. I think about it in the shower. Balla has much better insight, but he does not generate any hype whatsover. Tom/Mitch, I honestly like them, especially when they casted Gambit's 13-0 vs G2 on Icebox, but they've since faded.
It's kind of appalling how bad the casting is for how high the production value of all the LANs are. Why can't they bring in actual Radiants/Pros with any amount of personality?? Make Steel cast, he is unemployed, and he is like the Draymond Green of the Valorant community - controversial, kind of shit but actually really good, with legitimate takes and commentary. Tarik?? They literally fly him into every LAN, so he can generate half of Valorant's viewership. But holy shit, I'd nut so hard if he actually casted. He is not eloquent whatsoever, but he is still a seasoned professional and he is hilarious.
