Riot Games reveals list of hosts, commentators, analysts, and observers for VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo 2023

The roster of broadcast talent for any esports event associated with Valorant usually consists of hosts, commentators, analysts, and observers.

The tournament hosts are in charge of connecting with their global audience, who are either live at the venue or on livestream. They're also paired with relaying important information and introducing various elements of each matchup to the viewers.

Casting and analysis also play a crucial role in keeping the audience entertained, whether for traditional sports like football and basketball or an esports title like Valorant.

In addition to the entertainment they provide the broad viewer base, the on-air commentators and analysts also educate the audience on the proceedings of the matchup. They often share fun facts or help the audience understand complex in-game terminology.

Observers are handed one of the most complicated tasks associated with esports broadcasting. Each matchup will have two sets of observers, one that controls each player's POV and one that captures the match from a cinematic camera angle. With a team of talented observers handling every match, the audience will never miss out on any incredible moments players create.
