Look Sports Media – The Esports World Cup (EWC) has unveiled a star-studded broadcast team for its upcoming Valorant tournament, boasting a formidable lineup of British and Irish talent. The event, kicking off July 8th, promises thrilling action following the conclusion of Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Masters Toronto. Leading the charge is renowned host Iain Chambers, a familiar face across multiple esports titles, joined by analyst Morgan "BigTime" Jay, a veteran of the VCT Pacific broadcast team. Providing the play-by-play will be the dynamic duo of Tom "Tombizz" Bissmire and Mitch "MitchMan" McBride, seasoned casters with extensive experience in top-tier Valorant competitions since 2021.
This impressive British contingent will be complemented by international talent, including Abdulaziz "Fancy" Alrasheed, Head of Operations for Saudi esports organization Twisted Minds (also competing at EWC), and Victoria Cheng, who will conduct player interviews. Analyst desk expertise comes from Andrej "babybay" Francisty and Beatriz "kaquka" Alonso. The EWC’s commitment to a high-quality broadcast is further solidified by the inclusion of an official B-stream.
The $70 million (~£54.8 million) prize pool will attract some of the world’s best teams, including Fnatic, aiming for redemption after their second-place finish at VCT Masters Toronto, and Team Heretics, featuring British star Benjy "benjyfishy" Fish, looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance. However, the tournament has faced controversy recently, with accusations of sportswashing and player withdrawals from other EWC events. Despite this, the Valorant competition promises to be a captivating spectacle, showcasing the best of international Valorant talent and the undeniable skill of the UK broadcast team.
