During this whole season, and the two previous ones, Anders Blume and Auguste "Semmler" Massonnat have been carrying the commentary, analysis and much more on the Fragbite Masters stream. Today we are happy to present a slight difference on the matter, as the RoomOnFire duo will be accompanied by a panel during the LAN finals.
Three out of five personalities who will be part of this weekend's stream team.
In the panel we find the famous journalists and experts Richard Lewis and Duncan "Thorin" Shields, as well as the Team Property player and CS 1.6 legend Marcus "zet" Sundström. Lewis will mainly be the host of the show, but will also be welcomed to share his opinions regarding the games, while Thorin's role on the panel will be more analytical. It should not come as a shock that Sundström will be an expert, sharing his knowledge from being a huge part of the professional Counter-Strike scene for years.
Below, you'll find a statement from Duncan "Thorin" Shields when asked about his weekend colleagues as well as being on the panel himself.
Obviously, we will proved our readers with full coverage on the LAN finals, including pictures, videos, interviews and other content throughout the weekend.

Below, you'll find a statement from Duncan "Thorin" Shields when asked about his weekend colleagues as well as being on the panel himself.
"Richard is a friend of mine and someone whose work I consider to be among the very best in esports, so it will be good to reunite with him, having been on a panel with him at Gfinity G3 in August.
Zet is one of the greatest Counter-Strike players of all time and I can only hope his skills on the desk turn out to be anywhere close to his performance from 2006, he continues.
Finally, I'm the best in the business, as well the most humble and grounded personality in the scene, so it should be a wonderful panel and go down in the audience's memories as more meaningful to their lives than the birth of their children, meeting their significant other or graduating from university."
