'Incredible atmosphere at Arena Birmingham'
Luckbox ambassador Paul "Redeye" Chaloner will be desk host for ESL One Birmingham 2019 and says fans who attend the event can look forward to something very special.
Redeye was desk host for the event in 2018 and said the atmosphere at Arena Birmingham was incredible.
Speaking on The Luckbox Podcast, Redeye said: "Well I mean the atmosphere last year was incredible. "I think we had a thousand people inside the arena but it felt like 25,000 people inside the arena because it was so loud. That's the first thing.
"Second thing is a bit like Call of Duty World League a few weeks ago - there were football style chants, most of them revolving around the Brazilians because they were very popular last year.
We don't have a home team obviously and we're missing the Brazilians, which is a shame. So we'll have to adopt another team but they'll find one in the group stages and then go to the arena.
"It will usually be one that's got lots of bravado that maybe is a little bit underdog like there will be one of those teams. And now just adopt them as their own and they'll become British just for this event. We do that a lot but there'll be chants and there'll be songs they'll be singing and there'll be some sort of balloon in the crowd.
"So just tremendous atmosphere tremendous atmosphere a lot of fun very light-hearted staff crowd really get involved they really made it last year as well as super proud to you know just to have been able to host a British Dota event.
"I was super proud to go along and be in front of those people and I was super humble had my own little fan club at the front the debt 20 people a little crowd cheering 'Redeye'. I was just like, 'What are you doing? Watch the the game! It was very humbling and just such an amazing event."
