The full crew of casters for the upcoming ASUS ROG DreamLeague kick-off season has been announced, marking the return of the usual suspects from The GD Studio in charge of the production as well as bringing in Ted 'PyrionFlax' Forsyth to the Stockholm studio for the online portion and adding on Toby 'TobiWan' Dawson for the LAN playoffs, marking his return to DreamHack after missing out on last year DreamHack summer.
TobiWan has been a mainstay of DreamHack, which meant it was all the more surprising that he was sidelined this summer, as instead the regular casting partner of Andy 'Draskyl' Stiles was brought in, the golden voiced Aaron 'Ayesee' Chambers. While Ayesee did bring his own flair and was generally well received by the public, DreamHack seem to have come to the conclusion that when it comes to hyping up a LAN event, few can do it better than the Australian, prompting his return for this years DreamHack Winter, an event which Toby has widely remarked upon as being one of his favourites to attend.
In addition The GD Studio is back handling the production and providing colour commentary. In addition to the usual suspects, they will be joined by famed YouTube video creator and Dota 2 personality PyrionFlax, who will be providing his own rare brand of "insight" in what may be the heavyweight comedic casting lineup of the century. This will be the first time Pflax joins the guys from the studio and is something surely nobody would want to miss out on. Unlike TobiWan, Pflax will be flying out to Sweden in order to cast the online portion as well.
Finally the Swedish TV6 casters have also been announced, marking the return of Dota legend Kim 'Drayich' Larsson as well as having him joined by former SK Gaming Wc3 DotA player Erik 'Bogdan' Olsson as well as TobiWan's co-caster from The International 2013, Niklas 'Wagamama' Högström of the QPAD Red Pandas. Hosting the event for the Swedish audience will be former Counter-Strike professional Fredrik 'Slop3' Wahlstedt, who has been making his move into Dota 2 hosting recently. Their final addition to the DreamHack Winter crew will be John 'Boberg' Boberg of Fnatic.
