Entering her sophomore season with ambitions in full swing, Athena \u201cKitty\u201d Jiang will be expanding into shout-casting and occasionally hosting for the LPL broadcast in 2023.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A broadcast is nothing without a star-studded talent team to bring it to life.<\/p>\n

The LPL held nothing back as they pieced together their roster for Split 1 of the new year. <\/p>\n

Announced earlier this morning, Lennon \u201cMazel\u201d White, Joseph \u201cMunchables\u201d Fenny, Jordan \u201cLyric\u201d Corby, Ois\u00edn Molloy, Xia \u201cWendy\u201d An and fellow Oceanic resident Jake \u201cHysterics\u201d Osypenko are set to be returning to the broadcast.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s finally official! <\/p>\n

Excited to be casting one of the best major leagues in the world alongside the most talented crew! I watched this league growing up and I would\u2019ve never imagined that I would end up on the main talent roster for 2023.<\/p>\n

Kitty is among the fresh blood to be announced, alongside Adrian \u201cJamada\u201d Wharlton-Thorne and Alex \u201cNymaera\u201d Hapgood.<\/p>\n

During her time with the LCO, her perspective as a long-time Oceanic Challenger ranked player enabled her to provide insightful analysis throughout the season.<\/p>\n

This move will serve as Kitty\u2019s second international appearance following a brief digital cameo on the 2022 MSI broadcast.<\/p>\n

Following her success with the LCO, she\u2019s ready and excited for this next step in her career. <\/em>\u201cIt was totally unexpected!\u201d <\/em>Kitty told Snowball Esports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud to be casting my own home region. Working on the LPL is a dream come true,\u201d says Kitty, who is looking to use her bilingual ability in English and Mandarin to perform in the new role. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a huge fan [of the LPL] since the beginning. I grew up watching JackeyLove, and now I get to cast him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LPL will kick off the League of Legends 2023 season, with Split 1 beginning Saturday, January 14.<\/p>\n
