RD Interviews: Devin "Piratechnics" Younge

On today’s special episode of the Rough Drafts Podcast, Chase “RedShirtKing” Wassenar travels back in time to the moments in which everything was possible for the EU LCS, the preseason! Back then, he spoke with his friend and EU LCS caster Devin “Piratechnics” Younge about Riot’s decision to move to Bo1’s, the current state of the esports casting scene, and his thoughts on each of the EU LCS teams. This was all accomplished by time travelling and definitely not a product of delaying until the last minute, still learning how to edit videos in a timely fashion, and/or their mutual obsession with Hearthstone.
