DoA On "The Human Killfeed" and Advice For New Casters | Overwatch Esports Interview - Pt 2

With years of experience under his belt, we ask DoA to impart some of his wisdom for aspiring esports casters and some common mistakes he has seen that he would like people to avoid.

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.
