[@karni6045]

best content creator out here droppin fire videos

[@pascalpezet]

Travis, you have no idea how much your content improved my game and esports knowledge. It also made me more involved in League of Legends when my interest was fading a bit. Your videos are simply the best and you are truly talented. Thanks for everything you're doing!

[@luoa2019]

I love how confident and articulate she is, not something you find very often in the people he usually interviews :D

[@ericerb6610]

xboxfullauto1000 you call them anti social rejects but your name is xboxfullauto1000... also many of them stream to thousands of people on their own time and they interact with more people daily then you probably do so ya know

[@matthewprinz6821]

Honestly, I love her confidence and her enthusiasm, but I wouldn’t describe her as articulate - she talks SUPER fast

[@JJamesWall]

These Playmaker videos have been amazing, probably my favorite League related content other than -New NuNu, looking so damn cute!

[@tomhunt8618]

this series is a beaut

[@leoryzap]

"I was a Mercenary" favourite way to explain freelancing lol. Gets the point across quite well.

[@PixelTrooper]

an interview with someone from the balance team would be nice but also very dangerous

[@SamHanEsports]

Episode 1 is Ghostcrawler

[@PixelTrooper]

Sam 'JustCasual' Han Jr he is lead designer, not balance team

[@DinsFlame]

For some reason Travis' personality never really clicked with me but I seriously have to applaud his content. I'm a Psych major going into user experience research and WOW these videos have been awesome. (I also like his player interviews bc I like the LCS)

[@reisswaffel12]

She is what we call an alpha extrovert

[@Ian_Somnia]

that spent her first year in college locked in her room playing wow...

[@davidmarino345]

Ian Stauber Same

[@johnjoobooks]

Just great content, plain and simple. No words to describe how delightful it is to see someone taking gaming journalism seriously. Just like they mentioned in this interview - this job hasn't existed few years ago, and now we starting to get high quality stuff. I ten or so years, when esports will be the de-facto viewing thing for most, Travis will be classic, who starting journalist will be compared. And you sure deserve it man!

[@RememberYurRoots]

I'm not sure what distracted me more with this interview, her hyper speed talking or her constant hair flipping. Still a great series! Keep it up :)

[@dylannovak9728]

Travis, these are really awesome videos and a great new series. Really enjoying them!

[@Vampfreak416]

This series is a masterpiece. I already said so on Twitter, but Travis is the best e-sports interviewer I've ever seen.

[@Kostchei]

"Will have multiple products". New game confirmed

[@shokill]

Drunk ARAMs? We should play together! :)

[@cubandarknez]

This content is amazing and it really pulls back the veil on the immensely diverse ecosystem of the gaming industry

[@dicoterra6113]

awesome interview im glad that the players and coaches are not the only focus

[@toboldlysplitinfinitives6518]

These videos are making me want to work at Riot. Also, it's great to hear from female rioters, Andrea seems super ambitious and insightful!

[@yoguy168]

I love seeing how excited all the rioters are about talking about their niche roles that most gamers don’t even know exist

[@lord999x]

I really like this interview juxtaposed with Nathan Blau's, that there is more to research than just gameplay.

[@scottb1326]

0.75 speed is like watching an incredibly high travis trying to be as nonchalant as possible

[@snocaps231]

Love this series, keep em coming!

[@hawdwoot]

love this series! great interview. travis you could have you own latenight show one day.... haha only speaking truths

[@Klosterhasi]

listening to her is like playing in the lcsgod damn shes fast

[@heybudhey4035]

Wait.. Boulders Gate.. did she just say that? That was literally my favorite game ever made :D

[@tressil3607]

Really enjoy this series

[@jonocc5548]

listen to this at 1.5 times speed, epic!

[@bohrysvanguard7170]

She is absolutely beautiful

[@CrudeHD]

dank production value

[@andrewmendonca1571]

All that research being done, yet can't figure out why people have come to dislike the game? Mmm.

[@eck0wns]

killin it travis keep it up

[@davidmarino345]

What a beauty

[@ME-hs7ll]

Interview someone from the art / narrative team please !

[@raskladukas]

Travis GO GET HER !

[@huntewaters]

This series has made me respect riot way more haha Keep it up Travis

[@VEX_INC]

Croatia represent!

[@RepliesMuted]

VEX what does Croatia have to do with this?

[@VEX_INC]

Did u watch the video? They mentioned oil prices in Croatia 3-4 times! XD

[@RepliesMuted]

must've missed it i play video games with this is background so it was strange to see this comment

[@stuartkosters2124]

really interesting to listen to :)

[@kennethtung4447]

Please get an interview for player behavior

[@Teemoisbroken]

So giggly

[@Phophos]

"Caring about the player"

[@mattw4190]

12:05 guys, they need to stop playing us like this

[@xRakanishu]

This person makes me feel bad about myself

[@davidmarino345]

Rekway why

[@xRakanishu]

David Marino Because she seems to think, process and speak on a higher level

[@PatriotIzzy]

I wouldn't say higher level. That is placing yourself beneath her. We are all from One. Equal. Because you may not do so as fast, does not mean you can't do other things faster than her.

[@dogguytft6165]

Excuse me but I'll take a League of Legends dating sim

[@bignerd3424]

GIANT

[@Luwisito23]

mooooorreeeee

[@mybellyisapinata]

If Phreak were phemale.

[@xjminahh]

she talks so fast i thought i was on 2x speed LOL

[@crashendodt]

She is crazy :)

[@pinkduke]

I find it ironic how all of these people talk about how well they doing during player loss, during an expanding economy....

[@tuotuolu2805]

yes because that isn't a great way to be fired. /s

[@FIFAxPROxRxUMADBRO]

I mean you say player loss but every game loses players and leagues loss is a minor one they lost a few streamers and you tubers who cares that’s nothing compared to how many people they gain and maintain

[@hightagedproductions1376]

who said they have player loss all thats "known" is that the gain is less but its stil gain.

[@DreamingConcepts]

Your wife must be so lucky for your ability to listen a woman talking so much and actually hearing and considering everything she says.

[@Kodruginofre]

16:12

[@Melvin-tl2fn]

WTF this woman speaks si fast XD i actually thought the video was on x2 speed

[@user-oi6gr8xw9h]

Melvin rap god

[@christophergholston4141]

so much for the kotaku article against riot. You cant fake that level of enthusiasm and excitement she has for her job at riot

[@lassepa2]

Christopher Gholston This was before the Kotaku article

[@christophergholston4141]

even better

[@tuotuolu2805]

Just because the PR person is happy doesn't mean that everything is ok.

[@leaguekings8867]

[@y.f8139]

She is on drugs

[@midqualitygaming3498]

haHAA

[@ExiledKid]

With the way she shakes her head so much, you'd think she's a huge fan of Michael J Fox

[@FOXSilver57]

why are there not as many new players as 4 years ago?bcs the game is shit atm,and if some kid asked me if he should play it i'd tell him no,just like i'm sure ppl do these days,fix the damn game then look how to advertise it to ppl,for fcks sake

[@PinochleFrog]

Although his last question could have technically addressed it I'm disappointed Travis didn't mention the recent/ongoing allegations of sexism and gender disparity and Riot.

[@donnybaseball665]

this was not recording in the last week

[@tuotuolu2805]

was made months ago

[@godserens]

You can tell Travis's eyes he is in love.

[@xRakanishu]

godserens He's overwhelmed by how she holds the floor lmao

[@tuotuolu2805]

noooooooooooo my dl travis ship

[@mashkhandaker4521]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[@CrudeHD]

the more i listen to her the more i feel like this is riots "no we dont have sexual harassment here at all. definitely not". That article literally killed my enthusiasm for what Riot Games did for Esports.

[@LordOfWinter]

Travis recorded these all before the kotaku article, why do you have to bring drama to everything

[@CrudeHD]

what do you know of what i bring to other things fucking LUL

[@ericerb6610]

The Memer ol

[@spyretv]

There's too many champions and all you do is release more.. so obviously very understanding of new player base smh. Source: i've played for 6 years and ask friends/our community members to play all the time. Also why do champions cost so much money especially for new players? Talk about barriers of entry to the game been like this forever too lol. Great interview as always Travis

[@davidrojas9668]

Ew what's up with this new KZbin layout.

[@venchenzo4493]

Why no questions about the misogynist culture at Riot? Is this just a fluff piece Travis?

[@xRakanishu]

Brian Who cares it's probably all fabricated SJW horse shit anyways. We're all here to celebrate gaming not play politics.

[@tuotuolu2805]

This was before the artical. Like 2 months. did you not watch the vid where he introduced the series

[@sesmio4029]

soooo where is the sexism at riot?

[@thunder4950]

And people say riot is sexist lul

[@tuotuolu2805]

pr person != company
