My future as a talent in EUL/APAC & looking for talent!


Over the past few weeks I have been in discussions with my boss and Ubisoft about how best to move forward as a talent in Siege. They suggested I hand-pick a talent from Europe and create a new duo to continue both desk and casting, but after thinking about the constant change the Analyst Desk goes through each and every playday, I wanted something better for it. With no set analysts it always meant we had to rotate duos around the desk which meant no one could put their full attention towards it.

After discussing this thought with Ubisoft, they understood my vision for wanting the desk to have dedicated experts and familiar faces dedicated to it each and every time. I want to lead a desk for EUL and APACN that viewers could look to and know they'd get the full analyst experience each and every time. Do *not* get me wrong, the other talent have down their damn best on the desk thus far, but I also know how difficult it is to be spreading your attention throughout multiple roles and time limits; it just is not feasible to be able to give two whole jobs your entire attention.

As a result, I have asked Ubisoft, for now, to ditch the idea of me choosing a duo to continue commentating. Instead, I am now on the search for a dedicated expert to join me on the analyst desk full time here in Paris. I am extremely open to the idea of hand-picking an analyst/colour commentator out of T2/3 and helping foster more talent, especially analysts, into Tier 1 level experts. If you think you know someone, or you are that someone, please do message me. I have a few names in mind and may reach out, but want to be sure I am looking through as many options as possible.

I want to thank Ubisoft for letting me take the reigns on the desk and for allowing me to build a vision for the analyst desk that I hope we can all be proud of. I also want to thank them for asking me to find a duo to continue commentating... But I honestly would rather build up other talent and the analyst desk to be something of substance that offers a learning and expert capability. This is my specialty in Siege and now I have such an awesome production team around me allowing me to choose almost entirely how the desk is run (with my main man Milosh), I really want to give it a go.

I hope you will forgive me for Stage 2 as I work out the new duo and the way in which I will run the desk alongside Milosh, but expect full steam ahead as of Stage 3 at the very latest!
