Observers are the unspoken heroes of Dota 2. They complete the viewing experience of the esports scene by deftly capturing every moment in a chaotic match. Despite what they bring to the table, observers get none of the pomp and circumstance that casters and hosts get.
Jonathan ‘PimpmuckL’ Liebig once again does god’s work in the ESL One Hamburg Major with his smooth spectating. But PimpmuckL goes beyond the spectating and enhances the audience experience by adding trivia and stats at key moments of a match.
In an interview with themasters.gg, PimpmuckL details the preparation of stats before observing:
“I usually do stats prep for around 2 hours per team. I analyze important lane matchups which are significantly relevant to the teams’ success and certain mid-game movements some players do to better tell the story of the game. So if we take a team like OG focusing on the early game roaming of JerAx and Fly will be very important because OG is very centered around their supports creating space and protecting the hard carries N0tail usually plays. On the other hand, for a team such as NP it’s crucial that EternaLEnVy wins his matchup and can keep an upper hand over his lane opponent because he usually makes or breaks the team’s success. This knowledge can really help to tell the best story of the game possible to the viewer.”
Here are some of the nifty trivia shared by PimpmuckL in Day 2 of ESL One Hamburg:
