Caster Calls With ZombieGrubEpisode 64: Vansilli - Valorant CommentatorVansilli boasts one of the oldest resumes in esports, finding his start in casting way back in the 2000s with CS:GO 1.5. Despite working with many of the other OGs of the esports scene, Vansilli may seem like a new face, really finding his footing concretely with the release of Valorant.

Caster Calls With ZombieGrubEpisode 63: Doug - Valorant CommentatorDoug might seem like one of the freshest faces in esports, but he's actually far from it.

While OG in a sense, Doug's ability to naturally pick up on what makes commentators tick and his gung ho attitude made sure he skyrocketed through the ranks of Valorant commentators.https://twitter.com/esportsdougFind the video version here -https://youtu.be/3Wn4IlE2I7wFollow the Caster Calls Twitter account...2022-12-011h 10
