The LEC has announced that popular Twitch streamer Simon “Thebausffs” Hofverberg will appear on the broadcast’s analyst desk for week 6.

A Thebausffs két pénteken lejátszott meccsen is szerepet játszik. A LEC bejelentette a hírt egy tweet that also confirmed the return of Jake “Hiprain” Matthews and Adrian “Jamada” Wharlton-Thorne as guest casters for Saturday’s stream.

Thebausffs, who currently boasts more than 345,000 Twitch followers, rose to prominence as a cheerful Sion main known for his ability to consistently reach Challenger while utilizing an unorthodox AD and lethality build. Aside from his streaming career, the Swede also spent time as G2 Esports’ substitute in their famous 2019 trophy-laden season, an experience that has left him egy MSI és két LEC érmet szerezve. 

Bár nem csatlakozott a LEC közvetítési pultjához korábbi adási tapasztalattal, a szórakoztató és nyugodt hangulat keveréke magas szintű játéktudással párosult, így bejelentése gyorsan felkeltette a rajongók érdeklődését.

Despite the positive buzz ahead of Thebausffs’ LEC appearance, some were quick to question whether somebody with no prior casting experience deserved to make their debut at such a high level.

Astralis’ Hampus Mikael “promisq” Abrahamsson vitte a Twitterre to call it a “slap in the face” to upcoming casters/analysts, while Fnatic’s Elias “Upset” Lipp piled on with a since-deleted tweet referencing the streamer’s frequent bad solo queue scores, often caused by both his unusual in-game builds and his carefree approach to the game.

As a result of the players’ tweets, other LEC talent have given their own takes on the situation and backed the decision to bring Thebausffs on. Most pointed out that broadcasts across regions will frequently feature guests analysts, mostly professional players, with Tyler1’s LCS analyst desk appearance kiemelt by Pentanet.GG’s jungle Pabu.

Long-time LEC host Eefje “sjokz” Depoortere was quick to try and quell any fears of ill-feeling amongst talent, adding that the streamer’s casting opportunity was going to be part of a split broadcast alongside Daniel “Drakos” Drakos and Marc Robert “Caedrel” Lamont. This meant that if Thebausffs not been invited, the matches would’ve been cast by the duo as normal.
