Apex Legends caster under fire after calling casters the \u201cleast important\u201d part of a broadcast Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends E-sports caster @im_b_rad_ttv came under scrutiny from fans and peers alike for voicing his opinion that casters are the \u201cleast important part of a broadcast\u201d and should be \u201cpaid like it\u201d. The terms e-sports caster, commentator, or broadcaster are often used to describe the person commenting over professional e-sports games and tournaments, describing the action, explaining the strategies, and enhancing the viewer experience. This commentary is often praised and appreciated by viewers, with some casters becoming celebrities in their own right. But Apex Legends caster @im_b_rad_ttv believes that this commentary is the \u201cleast important\u201d part of the entire broadcast, an opinion which he shared over Twitter and met staunch resistance from viewers responding to the Tweet. E-sports caster gets blasted for undermining the importance of his job The Tweet in question comes from @im_b_rad_ttv Twitter account belonging to an Apex Legends caster who on July 11 wrote: \u201cEsports hot take. Casters are the least important part of a broadcast and should be paid like it. Admins, observers, and production are more essential to a broadcast.\u201d And a hot take it turned out to be as nearly immediately viewers and other casters disagreed with Brad on different statements contained in the one Tweet. \u201cNever thought the voice of oce would come across like such a pick-me. If youre in that much of a hurry to devalue the craft of casting just go and undercut your peers. More effective and produces one less utter tripe opinion on the internet,\u201d wrote another caster, Mitch Leslie. \u201cI think this might be the most ignorant thing I\u2019ve read about not just esports, but broadcasting in general,\u201d added Erik Lonnquist. Even readers who partially agreed with the statement partially opposed Brad\u2019s take on the broadcasting profession. \u201cFrom the perspective of \u2018can the event go ahead without them\u2019 or not? Yeah, I agree. You can always just have player comms\/music for sound. But Hosts\/Casters really do enrich and enliven events. I would rather watch an event with them, than without,\u201d wrote one user.
