So I announced on twitter that I would be stepping down as a shout caster (possibly a tournament streamer) for season 4 and there a few reasons why. I've put in alot of time into league of legends and I will still put more time with different shows incoming in 2014; but as a caster I don't feel i'm as effective as others in the scene. But there are more reasons after the break to see!
Vlog Video
If you didn't catch it I do have a Vlog video about the whole reasons, albeit somewhat on the spot so there are few things i'll clear up now about the video.
- Original Idea of Riot vs Community for Dirt Nap Gaming = @RizeupRev/@ItsAewynia^^ Although Riot Vs Community idea was produced by many streams before that ie: 10winstreak.com (Riot vs Community). Riot always has had the idea of including the community in there games to have fun with each team. *(From the author prospective not Riot)
- Most of the streaming for Pentacast Productions was done by either Chobra/Me/0ctaviah at the time (jesse and attackfang didn't have streaming computers). The newer pentacast Skillfactory/CaereLoL took care of the streams.
- I had alot of other casts that I didn't mention, like my real reason I got into the challenger scene was cause of Rev/AngelVigil and the team Just The Usual/DirtNapGaming/MME.Imperium/Doublebuff/Denial Esports/Napkins in Disguise.
- I was on a esports news collection team called Definitive Esports (mentioned briefly) I was mostly used as there League of Legends coverage person, but also created some League of legends learning shows as well.
Overall I don't have the time to do both stream and keep up with the casts at a high level, I have the VoD access to the challenger scene/OGN and such but with full time work/school it's quite a commitment. #Esports has become my life and it has taken over everything else in life as well so when that is happening I know I have to slow down. I think overall this "break" will help me refocus on my quality as a caster/streamer/entertainer while also give me a new perspective on esports.
But I know if there's an opportunity that is on the way, I do have to take it.

Tomorrow on FourCourtJester stream, I will be casting my first ever Heroes of the Storm game with a League of Legends #WCG2013 caster & one of my #esports idols. Do come by and check out the fourcast, as it is always a treat to cast with him! (Should clarify it is a VoD of a Heroes game so it is public information it isn't something we are getting exclusively to us.)
I know it's weird to see me do other stuff from the normal but my main games are Hearthstone and League of Legends so just so you know where my direction is atm. In about 3-4 months if there isn't an expansion on hearthstone it'll switch over to Hex TCG and League. Always in my heart I have a soft spot for League of Legends and it's the game i'll always want to excel at so my goal is diamond and I know I can make it with the support of ya'll!
Thanks again for this awesome year, and albeit it'll be less about the League it'll still be more about exposing you all to all the awesome things #esports has to offer!

TL:DR - Casting tomorrow Heroes of the Storm with Four Court Jester, retiring for now as a League of Legends Caster/Tournament Streamer (possibly).
