DoA on Commentary Flexibility, Favorite OW Teams, and Franchising | Ovewatch Esports Interview Pt 3

All great dynasties eventually come to an end. The same can be said for the nature of esports as popular titles come and go with the passage of time. As one of the great leaders in esports casting with the onset of League of Legends as a duo with MonteCristo.After leaving behind a great legacy from his time in the LCK,

After leaving behind a great legacy from his time in the LCK, DoA explains to us the importance of being flexible with your skillset and the importance of being able to transition from game to game as a caster. On a less serious note, we ask DoA for his favorite Overwatch teams/players, and who to keep an eye on in the coming months for APEX Season 4. Lastly, in this segment, we close out with a question on his thoughts on the timing of Riot Games’ idea for a franchise model and the impact it will have on the Overwatch League. Given DoA’s position as someone privy to information on the Overwatch League and involved in its development, he was unable to provide any comments as Blizzard is still working away in preparation for the inaugural season of the OWL.

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.

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