Blizzard has announced four new casters will join the already talented line-up of international commentators and hosts of the Overwatch League<\/a> inaugural season.<\/p>\n Former video-game editor Malik Fort\u00e9 and veteran caster Alex ‘Goldenboy’ Mendez are set to join the existing Overwatch League presenters over on the English broadcast, while Qiong ‘Chixiaotu’ Li and Miram ‘Hwimori’ Ahn will produce content for Chinese and Korean OWL fans, respectively.<\/p>\n The new talent brings some much requested diversity to the current team of casters, and each of them bring substantial experience to the table.<\/p>\n Fort\u00e9 is the former editor of video game news site Nerdist.com and is well known in the Overwatch esports scene for his active involvement in the early days of the professional circuit. He was the sole field reporter for the 2016 ELEAGUE Overwatch Open and garnered national attention for a botched handshake in an interview with Dallas Fuel’s Brandon ‘Seagull’ Larned, which did the rounds on social media but kick-started his esports broadcasting career.<\/p>\n Mendez is an incredibly popular freelance esports commentator and host in the worldwide esports community, casting and presenting several competitive events for Blizzard Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Sony Computer Entertainment and Twitch. He’s also well known for his humour and wit, so he will gel well with the existing team.<\/p>\n This is actually happening! I\u2019m hosting the #OWL2018<\/a> desk today.https:\/\/t.co\/5prhnOzmjB<\/a> <\/p>\n I totally didn\u2019t plan this picture…<\/p>\n But you know who has great plans? ? pic.twitter.com\/MUT1pNyWX6<\/a><\/p>\n — Alex Mendez (@GoldenboyFTW) February 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
