DoA on Why He Switched To Overwatch and Educating Western Casters | Akshon Esports Interview Pt 1

Описание: Erik "DoA" Lonnquist is an American esports caster who worked for a variety of titles as part of the OGN broadcast crew in South Korea from SC2 to League of Legends. DoA and his co-caster MonteCristo made a name for themselves as the face of the LCK cast and helped to develop a casting style that still carries over to this day for up-and-coming commentators.

After a period of controversy with Riot Games, DoA and Monte made the move to do commentary for Overwatch. With two seasons of experience working on OGN's Overwatch APEX under their belt, DoA and Monte left to work with Blizzard to help develop and cast the upcoming Overwatch League in addition to other Blizzard events such as the Overwatch World Cup.

In this Interview sit down with DoA to discuss what he enjoys about casting Overwatch, his past with FPS/Blizzard titles, and what motivated him to leave everything he has built in League of Legends behind and make the jump into a new title.

Topics covered in this interview include his motivations behind returning to America, leaving behind League of Legends, and his aspirations to help develop the Western esports industry.

We apologize for the audio issues this was filmed at a swimming pool which was the only location available in DoA's community.
