IEM Dallas 2024 talent announced with tons of NA talent
Ahead of the start of IEM Dallas 2024 on Monday, ESL have announced the talent that will be covering the action during NA's premier event. As with last year, it seems special effort has been made to include NA faces in the broadcast, with more than half of the talent calling the region home.
On the desk, Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez and Janko "YNk" Paunović will be joined by Joshua "steel" Nissan, who returns to the analyst desk after his debut at IEM Katowice 2024 earlier in the year.
The commentators for the event include de-jure ESL duo of Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill and Alex "Machine" Richardson alongside Jason "moses" O'Toole and Adam "Dinko" Hawthorne, Conner "Scrawny" Girvan and Mohan "launders" Govindasamy, and Mike "DarfMike" Winnick and Cole "xner" McHenry.
Unfortunately xner and DarfMike will only be casting together remotely during the group stage, however DarfMike will return to the broadcast for playoffs as the Stage Host returning to the arena after IEM Dallas 2023.
Rounding out the talent list are Freya "Freya" Spiers and Tres "stunna" Saranthus as desk hosts while James Banks will be the on-site interview, with all three also returning from 2023.
