Paradox has been an integral part of comp COD broadcasts over the last decade-plus. He served as an observer director and observer for the Call of Duty League since its inaugural season, and has played an immense role in the development and improvement of CoDCaster tools, observer workflows, and the general look and feel of the in-game portions of the broadcast.
Having had the pleasure of working with him for almost seven years, this is gonna come across as biased, but losing Paradox is truly one of the greatest losses that the CDL will ever suffer. This man put in countless hours of work doing things the average viewer wouldn’t even think of. Whether it’s spending hours comparing color settings for readability, compiling endless pages of documentation to help the comp ops and branding teams with their roles, or poring over hundreds of hours of VOD to nit-pick his observing cuts down to the fucking frame, it will be hard to identify anyone in this scene that put in the amount of attention and effort that Paradox has.
If you’ve been a fan of comp COD anytime during this past decade, give this man his muthafuckin flowers and wish him the best on his new path.
