The talent has been announced for DreamLeague Season 9 Minor that kicks off next week in Sweden.
The first thing most fans have noticed when the announcement was made regarding the broadcast talent for DreamLeague Season 9 was that Jack "Sir Action Slacks" Kanner was missing. Although a mainstay for DreamLeague events in the past, the personable and quirky host has other commitments at the same time, branching out into a PUBG event hosted by PGL.
The second thing many fans noticed amid the familiar faces heading to Sweden was a newcomer to casting desk - Darren “KillerPigeon” Elmy. KillerPigeon seemed to make his splash into the Dota 2 scene about a month ago, casting the EPICENTER qualifiers. Fans seemed to embrace his knowledge, hype, and professionalism.
