Why Analysis Desks FAIL. This video by @Thorin is extremely accurate. I can't speak to the inner workings of CS, but almost everything i've hosted since the disappearing of SC desks has been totally cookie cutter at the full control of TO or dev. It's been extremely frustrating to have almost zero impact on the flow or state of something where talented people can inject some life between games, but we have to look at the same graphics every segment, the same sequence every segment because its "written on the rundown". Great producers like @Sam_Deans or @slmnio who listen and react to desks, give options on what you want to show, allow for some personality and unexpected moments. These are the kinds of setups that should be mandatory for any esports show, not just generic producer who want to get through a segment going A->B->C done every time. I too hear the same news that TOs think they need to cut Analysis desks in 2026. No, you've just failed for the last few years in giving us the right environment to make it entertaining and fun. youtube.com/watch?v=s8qG2w40…
