DarfMike antics, Scrawny's calling, and more NA representation in Cologne

ESL have announced the talent list for the upcoming IEM Cologne 2024 with a solid list of North Americans amongst the crowd.

Mike "DarfMike" Winnick will be making his second IEM Cologne appearance after debuting last year. DarfMike's hosting stock has risen in the last few years as he has worn several different hats throughout recent international ESL events.

Tres "stunna" Saranthus and Jason "moses" O'Toole will accompany him from the United States. The two legacy talent members will continue their traditional roles as Desk Hosts and casters, respectively.

Also from North America will be the Canadian casting duo Conner "Scrawny" Girvan and Mohan "launders" Govindasamy. The two have long been considered one of the best commentary duos in the business, and they will grace the German stage once more.

Missing from the list once more is Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg who has been unsuccessful in finding work in front of the camera so far this year. It's confusing for fans who saw the Hawaiian rise to prominence in 2022 & 2023 as an analyst who was unafraid to voice critical opinions while on the broadcast and social media. Mauisnake had previously worked at IEM Cologne 2023 and 2022.
