Notably, no North American teams will be participating in the event, making stunna and moses the primary representatives from the region on the broadcast desk.
Hosting in Malta Shared by stunna and Tech Girl
stunna will serve as one of the two desk hosts, joining forces with Sam “Tech Girl” Wright. Together, they will lead the studio segments that introduce each day’s matches, transitioning smoothly between the analysts and the commentary team.
Meanwhile, moses will be part of the analyst desk alongside Janko “YNk” Paunović, Teodor “Tedd” Borisov, and Sudhen “Bleh” Wahengbam, forming a robust four-member analyst group for the Malta event. This diverse lineup ensures a fresh perspective for each day of the tournament.
Commentary by Machine, SPUNJ, Harry, and Hugo
Handling play-by-play and color commentary will be four experienced casters: Alex “Machine” Richardson, Chad “SPUNJ” Burchall, Harry “Harry” Russell, and Hugo “Hugo” Byron. With a lineup of established names, the event promises top-notch commentary befitting a world championship.
Completing the broadcast team are James Banks and Anastasija “Heccu” Tolmačeva, who will take on the roles of sideline reporter and stage host, managing interviews and on-stage segments between the desk and the commentary booth.
