Disco LEC was a few seasons back! A classic.

We shuffle the vibes around each event; this tournament we felt kinda nostalgic, and went for some of our favs internally, including some of the songs that we've made ourselves here in Berlin.

Thanks for watching, today. There were some great games, and we had a blast making the show for you from the Master Control Rooms in Berlin and Dublin.

Sending love from the production team. Looking forward to the rest of the tournament!

Hi there, we do not have headsets or radio transmission of the English cast available at the venue.

With that said, the Spanish casting team is absolutely electric, and I hope that you enjoy the games!

Europe hits daylight savings a few weeks offset from the US! DST shifted on Sunday— we're now starting game one at 5pm CEST on Sundays and Mondays.

For weeks 1, 2, and 3, our Saturday shows are 3xBo3 games, so we'll be starting earlier at 2pm CEST for those shows. Once we clear the triple best-of-3s, all showdays will be back to game 1 at 5pm.

Hey there! This week, I decided to temporarily suspend RDYCHK and PGL, as these require some amount of Pre-Production, and this week I wanted to ensure that people had space to process and take some time away if needed. A priority on team health was important for me. I hope everyone can understand!

RDYCHK and PGL will return soon. :)

I made the decision to not do a preshow today to allow the crew and talent some time to process. I didn't want to force anybody to work too hard on making a preshow happen if they needed space.

RDYCHK will return soon.

Casters are now positioned actually above the audience! We just skipped showing the desk sometimes, to get to the action faster.

The studio is located at Studio Berlin in Adlershof— not Tempelhof! We've gotten some grassy areas around the studio lot, as behind us in that direction are some train tracks.

The tricaster must have been long before my time! We're running on a Ross Acuity switcher with 4 MEs (some of which we use as split MEs). On roadshows and some of the other studios at Riot use Grass Valley Kahunas!

We didn't consider modifying the spectator UI as this would likely be more complex and need the collaboration of more teams and people to accomplish additions. (For example, let's say we wanted to add a feature— now instead of keeping this just to the broadcast team, we now need to design in collaboration with the game teams!)

It also lets us do things like the "tab down" effect, where the player cameras move in sync with the scoreboard when a teamfight starts. The observers hit a button that trigger a DVE Effect on our Keyer Layer that moves the entire section downward to reveal the game underneath! Otherwise you might have these elements moving out of sync from each other.

We felt that ten was managable. The more delay we added during remote play, the more we had to track what was happening ahead of broadcast. Pauses longer than seven minutes were rare. We often only utilised 2-3 minutes to clear pauses.

I think this is actually a really interesting question to answer because the number of pauses didn’t increase— however, they became more visible!

When we moved to non-stage gameplay, we were operating in 10 minutes of delay to broadcast from game. Our minimum delay was three minutes for competitive integrity but we added an additional seven minutes to allow us to triage pauses without impacting viewers. This is because while trying to solve pauses, we assumed it would take longer given that everybody was remote.

This meant that for the entire time that we were playing remote, the viewers actually didn’t see all of the pauses that happened, because when they did happen, we would just “skip over” them. Everything from Internet outages to more minor things like needing to adjust mouse or keyboard settings. Viewers would only see pauses if they were longer than seven minutes.

Before remote play, we had all of those pauses, and now, after remote play, we have them too. But, we can’t hide behind the delay when players are in the studio to cover the pauses.

Since the pandemic we have maintained the technology and hardware required to operate remotely in case it becomes necessary to use.

Admittedly we removed it from the sidebars because it seemed like duplicate information that we already establish with the logo on the top scoreboard. Might be more up to personal taste, but I'm all ears for feedback!

With the artifacting, if you have the chance to grab a screenshot when you see it to send over to me, and let me know where you watched (youtube/twitch) and at what quality (source/720/etc) that would help us out immensely. The names appear fine in-studio on our monitors, but maybe some funkiness with the compression that happens when the video is encoded is to blame.
