Do Americas have very less casting talent? Why do they have to rely on Mimi and Ender so much?

They should fire Mimi. She barely pays attention to the game or when other people talk to her.
the answer is yes, vansilli and the other guy are the worst casting duo ITW
Mimi is a good analyst but not an amazing caster
We had Doug and Balla, + DDK and seangares, but they refused to pay the competent talent, and instead opted for the tier 2 casters, who make the watching experience boring. :(
just make it perma sideshow and bren, 2nd best duo cast after pansy and hypoc
Wyatt and Doug have been pretty good together, but yeah mimi and ender are terrible. Also Balla retired, babybay joined G2, Sean Gares joined 100T, so basically all the good casting talent apart from bren and sideshow left causing them to have a caster shortage.
Yeah I meant uber, I was just looking at a comment above and saw doug and accidentally wrote that instead.
Balla actually had a kid, so he took a year off, but they never inquired about hiring him again. He has made numerous tweets hinting/stating he'd be down to return to VALORANT, and the only reason Sean joined 100T initially is that they didn't bring DDK and him on to be official casters for the VCT. Babybay filled for Balla, but obviously, he is where he is now. It really does fall on Riot to secure good talent. You could even bring in old pro's, but they will not do it for some odd reason.
First she's not very good at casting exciting plays, second she gets way too analytical while casting which isn't great from a viewing experience, and when you pair that with ender who insults certain teams no matter what they do while also glazing certain other teams like he's being paid by them all while making unfunny jokes just makes it just unbearable to watch.
for me she is unfunny and can get alot of facts wrong so basically misinformation
Riot doesn't want to pay the money for more broadcast staff, especially since such a large percentage of the viewers are watching on costreamers instead of on Riot broadcasts
