B Site announce MonteCristo as Flashpoint Commissioner & VP of Brand Flashpoint \/ Riot Games B Site have appointed former Overwatch League talent and esport veteran, Christopher \u2018MonteCristo\u2019 Mykles, as Commissioner of Flashpoint and Vice President of Brand following the organizer\u2019s first CS:GO season. MonteCristo is a giant in the realm of esports. Having served in multiple esports (in various capacities), he has accrued over 15 years of experience. Now Mykles is opening a new chapter in his storied career, as he enters the B Site fold as VP of Brand while also taking on the role of Commissioner at Flashpoint, where he will oversee official announcements alongside Creative Director, Duncan \u2018Thorin\u2019 Shields. We spoke with MonteCristo following the news. MonteCristo on Flashpoint Season 1 Coming off the back of working on Flashpoint\u2019s inaugural season as a Talent Advisor, the 33-year-old revealed that he\u2019s keen on bolstering the rosters and talent within the league as the team look ahead to their second outing. \u201cObviously, one of the things that we\u2019re focused on right now is making sure that we have better teams and better players within the league,\u201d Cristo revealed. As the newly appointed Commissioner, he delved into how Flashpoint and their partner teams might go about achieving their goal. \u201cI think the main thing is just spending a lot of money. That\u2019s personally what I hope our team owners do\u2026 We believe that this is the only way to make the scene sustainable.\u201d MonteCristo on taking Flashpoint to new heights Speaking exclusively to Dexerto, Mykles unveiled that Flashpoint 2 would be coming at some point during the Fall of 2020. As part of building on Flashpoint\u2019s successful first season, MonteCristo delved into what he and his team will be hoping to achieve. \u201cWhat we want to do is customize our content to really resonate with whatever audience we\u2019re working with. And with Counter-Strike, the tone that I think we\u2019ve hit with Flashpoint is unique. \u201cWe\u2019re also not interested in emulating any kind of traditional sports; we\u2019re going to be doing more kinds of skits and fun content with the casters \u2014 like what we were able to do with Anders and his kind of nature documentary.\u201d Read more: Thorin: How GuardiaN became a CSGO legend – Given that Flashpoint is generally more tailored to a more mature audience, Mykles explained how he will be using their content as a driving force in their broadcast moving forward. \u201cWe have a bar built into our set that we do our post show in. No one else is doing that. We want to be there for fans who are 25-plus \u2014 we believe that this is a very important demographic in esports.\u201d MonteCristo on returning to the mic \u201cThere are some really excellent casters in CS:GO \u2013 people that I\u2019ve been friends with and admired for years \u2013 and frankly, I don\u2019t really see myself as particularly necessary in terms of entering the casting fold,\u201d MonteCristo clarified. \u201cIn a game with such excellent commentators already. I\u2019d be trying to play catch up with people with 10 years of Counter-Strike experience\u2026 I think it\u2019s better that I help enable these people who are already excellent at their jobs to make excellent content.\u201d While the legendary caster hasn\u2019t completely ruled out a return to his craft, his new role will see him acting in the best interests of Flashpoint as a product, which as Commissioner, will be acting as the primary link between Flashpoint and the fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
