PGL bring back familiar faces for the Desk
PGL is continuing to announce the talent teams. After revealing who would be casting, observing, and analyzing the games, the tournament organizer unveiled who would host the desk and stage during the major and who would be the main reporter.
The main surprise from this announcement is Richard Lewis's return after more than two years away from big-stage desks. Richard Lewis was also making his comeback as a Desk Host at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, after last appearing on the biggest CS stage during the ELEAGUE Major Boston 2018.
Alongside Richard Lewis, Eefje "sjokz" Depoortere will also be hosting the desk after playing the same role during the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Another familiar face joins them as James Banks continues his Major appearances streak. The Brit will be the Stage Host during the PGL Major Copenhagen, after almost five years since his Major debut as an interviewer during the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019.
Finally, Pala Gilroy Sen is returning as a Major talent after his last appearance during the IEM Rio Major, in 2022. Despite not being present in Counter-Strike events during 2023, except for CCT Central Europe Malta Finals, Pala has been very active in GeoGuessr broadcasts, being one of the main faces of the Geography-based game. During the PGL Major Copenhagen, Pala will be creating narrative-driven content, as well as giving behind the scenes insights.
The list of hosts for the PGL Major Copenhagen is:
-
Richard Lewis - Desk Host
-
Eefje "sjokz" Depoortere - Desk Host
