The talent lineup for DreamHack Masters Las Vegas has been revealed, with the likes of Janko "YNk" Paunović and Alex "Machine" Richardson finding their place on the 11-man list.

DreamHack Masters Las Vegas is the first premier DreamHack event of 2017 and will feature a $450,000 prize pool and 16 competing teams. To go along with the prize pool and the lineups that will attend the tournament, the famous organizer has assembled an impressive talent lineup as well.

Will YNk's "weatherman" segment return in Las Vegas?

Starting off the list are two famous commentary duos, HenryG-Sadokist and Anders-Semmler, followed by four analysts that will be breaking down the action on the desk which will be hosted by Alex "Machine" Richardson.

The reporting for DreamHack Masters Las Vegas will be done by Pala "Mantrousse" Gilroy Sen and Sue "Smix" Lee, with the latter doubling up to do stage hosting as well.

The full talent list is as follows:

Sue "Smix" Lee - Reporter & Host
Pala "Mantrousse" Gilroy Sen - Reporter
Alex "Machine" Richardson - Desk host

Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill - Analyst
Duncan "Thorin" Shields - Analyst
Jason "⁠moses⁠" O'Toole - Analyst
Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović - Analyst

Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer - Commentator
Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett - Commentator
Anders Blume - Commentator
Auguste "Semmler" Massonat - Commentator

we already have thoorin for mediocre banter and jokes, RL is mostly redundant

2017-02-02 00:28

Or Thorin. I like both, but YNK seems a better analyst. Thorin is a better entertainer tho.

2017-02-01 22:59

YNK is a great entertainer too. ResidentSleeper

2017-02-02 18:42

thorin :/

2017-02-01 18:00

2017-02-01 20:54

Seems like a decent talent lineup.

nice

Pala "Mantrousse" Gilroy Sen - Reporter

How fucking depressing. Please God let him miss his flight and not make it to the event.

2017-02-01 17:28

True, he keeps his youtube personality instead of being normal, maybe he is autistic

2017-02-01 17:44

YNK :D

best talents in one tournament :OO

2017-02-01 16:46

Nice

can we not hire PalaCringeroyMantrousse and we dont really need smix either, she always asks the same generic bullshit questions. desk looks decent tho.

shes alright for a newbie imo. not really anyone you could replace her with either.

2017-02-01 16:48

shes not a newbie anymore. by now she coulda learned not to ask 'how are u feeling going into this matchup'. its a redundant question since in 100% of cases the answer will be 'we are feeling really confident'. ppl like puckett, redeye, scoots etc have done a much better job at that. or maybe she will just change her approach slightly, since many people have criticized her for that.

2017-02-01 16:53

+1, redeye or scoots would be awesome

2017-02-01 18:27

+50. I can't see any reason why an organisation wanting their event to be viewed professionally, seriously or even just be enjoyed by those watching would hire that utter image-obsessed, awkward and clueless bellend.

2017-02-01 17:30

Nice except for machine

ResidentSleeper

SPUNJ and ynk the stars have alligned

2017-02-01 16:59

It would be perfect if we can have all 3 pairs but if it is only limited to 2 i would prefer ddk and james over anders and semmler

2017-02-01 17:04

Yeah, would be better with 3 pairs. But for me: HenryG-Sadokist >>> James-DDK >>> Anders and Semmler

2017-02-01 17:10

2017-02-01 17:25

Anders and Semmler -_- I feel like they are casting for kids, saying stuff like : if you don't know, the ak47 is the strongest gun in the game, it has 30 bullets magazine... And please +Fifflaren +Dazed

2017-02-01 17:42

I read somewhere that events dont hire ex ibp because valve wont let them host majors in the future if they do that

2017-02-01 17:47

ESL had dazed on desk for some of epl s4 and hosted another major,

2017-02-01 17:57

they have been instructed to do so,off late,for the new viewers...esepecially at eleague etc..

2017-02-01 18:33

Does somebody know what happened to OJ? Or whatever he was called ...wasnt he the introducer guy? Didnt see him since ages, kicked? :D

oj was nice..

2017-02-01 17:50

I think he has done work for BBC and Eurosport in the past. He could be busy. I would love to see him in more events.

2017-02-02 00:32

Looks pretty solid, wish we could see some DDK tho.

2017-02-01 17:54

2017-02-01 19:55

I dont understand how you dont get ddk and bardolph to the event... seriously if you like CS and you play Cs you really like the content they produce on the other hand, despite the fact I rly like anders, the fact that he has to cast with this semmler clown makes me wonder how long ppl will want them at events.
