At e-sports, the players are the stars but, like in any other show, the audience and the fan base are essential. To connect these two and explain what is happening to the audience, the commentators (or casters) are key. This competition rewards the best caster (from either a technical point of view or from a purely show-business perspective), as explaining what is happening in an engaging way and connecting with the audience is always a challenge.

Competition rules

Registration will take place via party.net. Those interested with have to register in the relevant category.

The clip provided by the organisation (link to clip) will have to be casted by the participant.

A jury appointed by the organisers will ensure that registrations comply with the rules of the event. If the quality of registrations is deemed insufficient or in poor taste, the competition may be declared void.

The General Rules will apply along with these rules.

Participation in the competition implies acceptance of its rules.
