Babael made a splash in the Heroes community with his impassioned casting and love of Heroes and his departure was felt by all. He returns to cast HGC alongside NA caster Jhow , Teddypay , Rikuuph and Pandabruiser.
The HGC's global nature is starting to take shape. We are just a day away from the Korean HGC starting this Friday and now the casting lineup for SEA has been announced. The SEA region has always been lacking in exposure but was temporarily put on the map when Imperium Pro Team competed during the Spring Global Championship and Dream Hack Summer.
Now with a league of their own and a chance to face Korea, China & Taiwan in the Eastern Clash, a host of casters have emerged to capture the excitement, including formerly retired caster Babael!
We interviewed Babael when he first hit the scene and, by his own admission, he brings the hype:
"I am a play by play caster and I've always been a play by play caster. I'm like the kind of guy that sells the hype, I get really easily excited over stuff.
I really enjoy Heroes because there is no downtime and like I said, I'm a play by play caster, I enjoy the action, you go in and you go straight to the action. There's already ganks happening right off the bat and you can see there's so much potential in this game without the need for downtime for laning phases and other stuff"
Nearly two years later, Babael returns to casting and will likely cast alongside Jhow, the tallest and equally hype caster in NA. It's a match made in heaven for viewers and Babael seems pretty pleased as well:
HGC is so polished now. Great work, super impressive. It's like a dream come true
