“I felt there wasn’t anybody in the current leadership (after Nate Nanzer left) that had a deep understanding of esports,” - Montecristo, one of five/several casters not returning for S3

“What the departures signify is that we’re putting together the best possible pool of talent that we think fits what our audience is looking for and our vision for the product we’re building. We’re brining in people who we think know the game as well as anyone out there or better than anybody out there.” Pete Vlastelica, CEO of Blizzard Esports (previously FOX Sports)
