Every competition has a sound.
A cadence and timbre that reaches down to the screen and brings it to life before your eyes. The enchanting tones of the characters, the familiar clash of the battles and of course — the voices that carry it to you.
After all, they’re the sound of esports.
And there are few more memorable than MonteCristo & DoA.
This is their story.

Hey everyone, we messed up. In our opening graphic Erik “DoA” Lonnquist’s name is spelled incorrectly and at 18:44 we mistakenly credited a graphic from Leagupedia to Liquipedia. Keep the flame coming, it keeps us accountable, and as always thanks for watching.
Lakad Matatag casting please
I remember when DoA was talking about his friend that only played jungle karthus during a cast one time. He must be having a blast now….
Monte and Doa form the 2nd best casting duo in OWL. Really nice to see
how did Monte not age a day wtf. Doa aged a lot more
Yet anther video with at best a passing reference to Starcraft, the game that proved epsorts was viable. Also, mention GOMtv, but no nod to the actual trailblazers of the "lets not always focus completely in the game" casting style, Tasteless and Artosis, who were the lead casters at GOM when these two got their start. No trying to shit on These guys, I love their work, I just think it disingenuous to call them the "trailblazers"
Monte has said some dumb things without thinking, in OWL he's notorious within the players for insulting players or poking fun of them on stream, I don't really like that.
Great video. They are amazing casters for overwatch for sure.
Doa without his beard D:
shame they don't cast more games, they're the only casters who are actually good
Only Casters i know that can come close to Monte and Doa are Uber and Mr X. Especially when Uber transforms into Rap god
S
in all honesty these 2 guys have saved Esports (for viewers) and OWL because watching that shit is boring as fuck if you have them its worth watching just to see what they say and do.
I have never really been into esports until Apex overwatch, and now OWL. And they are definitely the best casters in OW as well
I was never a league fan but I can only imagine how your u guys feel cuz I’d probably cry if these guys left Overwatch
That explains a lot I always wondered why they left
Why is the OWL stage so shit compared to every other game
I prefer TastosSis sry
Everything is so accurate, I always find myself liking to see DoA and Monte cast the OWL, for a reason I didn't realize until now.
Love this video series, can't wait to see the story of ______ after a few seasons of OWL
We're so damn lucky to have them in Overwatch <3
Thanks for the video, it's awesome! They are great casters and great characters all the way, wish them all the best for the future and I hope Overwatch grows even bigger
"monte and doa" is like one word to me now
