Flirting with the impossible: Machine’s gearing up for a new decade in esports

Dot Esports, April 26, 2023

„Having grabbed his esports opportunity with both hands in 2014, Alex “Machine” Richardson hasn’t let it go since. The multifaceted broadcast talent is mainly known for his work in the biggest CS:GO events in the world, but he has been involved with many crown jewels of the esports space, from the League of Legends European Championship to Dota 2’s The International. He shows no sings of stopping.”

“The difference between a good and bad setup can be measured in milliseconds, but its impact in a competitive setting is huge. Fans of Apex, Overwatch 2, and other such titles will know just how important it is to eliminate the smallest of delays and how important peeker’s advantage is in games like these.”

For now, all eyes are still on them to see if they can deliver something never before seen in esports – but it feels like the scene has grown beyond the point where such a high-profile failure could conceivably break the back of this particular phenomenon. “
