Ran a broadcast from a temporary location inside Net8 PC Bang in Richmond, BC, with the portable studio I’d previously built for RazerZone Open. POV for huge number of players aggregated via NDI, produced in vMix. Somehow, six cameras, three lights, three tripods, three headsets, and two mics really does pack down to that. V4 Futuresports Festival (2018) Broadcast Producer, Analyst (English Broadcast, LoL) Organized and produced official English-language broadcast for an international LoL event in Hungary. The VODs are lost to the sands of time, but it was extremely cool. At 14 hours, it is the longest and most grueling show I have ever done. https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/v4-future-sports-festival-lol SAN FRANCISCO ANALYST DESKChristina “chhopsky” PollockAlex “MooshuBeef” Chan LOS ANGELES ANALYST DESKAlexander “Opal” ArchambaultAlex “MadMagical” Whieldon SYDNEY CASTERSJimmy “Preacher” FuJake “Hysterics” Osypenko EU CASTERSAlex “Bliss” StinsonStan “Greyhart” Barker SAN FRANCISCO PRODUCTIONNate “n8gallagher” Gallagher NEW YORK PRODUCTIONAmanda “Sagegnosis” Stevens Demacia Cup (LoL, LPL) (2018) Executive Producer, Host, Color Caster, Analyst Full English-language coverage including pre-show, with 10+ rotating remote casters. Around The World In K/D/As (LoL, LPL) (2017-2018) Executive Producer, Host, Color Caster, Analyst, Talent Development Originally, the official English LPL broadcast only provided coverage for four of the six broadcast days. Worked with LPL English broadcast team to provide an English-language cast for two days a week for the 2017 season, as well as providing training for upcoming casters from six different countries. Several people trained on the show were hired for the official broadcast in 2018, and the show ended when I moved to Canada and no longer had a studio to broadcast from. Started out live, moved to an offline format where matches were casted overnight and recorded, then broadcast through an automated workflow that ran the show without any human control required. LPL English Broadcast Graphics Programming & Automation After realizing the LPL casters were spending up to 30 hours a week photoshopping schedules, standings and stats graphics, I reverse-engineered Tencent’s QQ API, mapped the data, and wrote it into a graphics engine to custom-build their broadcast graphics on the fly. Contracted for 2017 split until the broadcast moved to China and had the data natively. RazerZone Open (LoL, Overwatch) (2016-2018) Executive Producer, Host, Color Caster.

Used as a training exercise to develop upcoming talent in casting, broadcast production and observer operation. Footage compiled from various events including opening day celebration. Zotac Cup (PUBG) (2018) Contracted by Battlefy to broadcast a Zotac-sponsored PUBG tournament.
