Some of the broadcast talent working on the WePlay CSGO Academy League Season 3 in Ukraine left the broadcast early amidst fears of a potential invasion from Russia.
UK casters JustHarry and Hugo Byron, as well as US analyst Mauisnake, brought their flights forward and left the finals broadcast early, while Norwegian analyst vENdetta and UK host James Banks left a little later, after the broadcast.
Some of the broadcast talent – JustHarry, Hugo Byron and Mauisnake – then travelled to IEM Katowice 2022 where they are part of the CSGO caster line-up.
