Wolf "Wolf" Schröder, former colour commentator in StarCraft2 and now of the LCK in League of Legends, is the star of the 339th Episode of 'Reflections'. This episode is part one of three about Wolf's career.
Wolf is one of the only expert level broadcast talents to work at the highest level in many different esports games and not simply as a novelty but committing to each entirely. Wolf made his name as an English language colour commentator on the GSL, working Code A in contrast to Artosis and Tasteless's Code S work, and most notably ProLeague, the team league which has always been one of the most prestigious Korean brands.
Some work in World of Tanks aside, Wolf's major transition was taking up Heroes of the Storm and covering that circuit for a number of years in its heydey. Overwatch was next, as he started with OGN's APEX tournament and eventually moved over to the Overwatch League itself, where he again established himself as a well liked expert, this time in an FPS-cum-MOBA.
In 2021 Wolf reunited with Brendan Valdes, his casting parter in SC2, by embracing League of Legends and taking a position on the LCK broadcast. He has since rapidly improved his scene and game knowledge to become a top expert in his own right in yet another genre of esports title.
In part one, Wolf talks about his first years working in esports via the Korean StarCraft2 scene, emerging from the shadow of Tastosis, Protoss as a race, being an elitist and why he left the game.
This interview was recorded on the 3rd of January, 2024.
