This is the part 2 of 2 of an interview with LPL Caster Vincent "ChangMao" Lee. Vincent goes on about how much he loves EU, the struggles of NA and how LPL scrimming with LCK doesn't necessarily benefit them. He also goes in-depth about player salaries, playing in the NA server and how the Worlds meta formed!









As viewers of Esports, we mostly want to watch the action of a teamfight or back and forth skirmishes between teams. What differentiates watching a highlight reel of games and the full experience of the games of the exact moment a player makes a mistake only to be punished by the opponents or the set up for an early tower dive, or even the crucial ward that leads to a Baron steal are all courteous of Casters that bring the gameplay to life. Vincent “ChangMao” L is one of those storytellers that has refined his craft for over the years casting in both the GPL in the past and LPL currently. Vincent’s career began with working with Taipei Assassins (TPA) in Season 2, the year that Toyz led the team into Victory as the first and only LMS Champion so far. Since then he has matured along with the LoL Esports scene from an “indie” game to filling 40,000 seat stadiums every year.

As someone fluent in English, Vincent is able to communicate to us the LPL’s point of view of Worlds so far. His accrued knowledge of the scene conveys a unique tale of one of the oldest organizations LoL Esports, Invictus Gaming (IG). Formed in 2011, this is the first time that they have gotten into the Final of Worlds, an organization that shares a similar story to their opponent Fnatic (FNC), both with long histories and everything to gain from taking the Worlds trophy home this year. What kind of team is IG? How strong are they? Should Western fans be scared? Vincent goes in-depth about IG’s strengths and weaknesses and what to expect for the upcoming Final match between IG and FNC this Saturday, Nov 3, 2018!
