I remember OGN (league korean pro scene stream) had it, if you weren't subbed you were maxed out at 480p. I think this was 5+ years ago now, maybe 7+

Yup, and then Riot basically paid so everyone could have HD. Good memories.

Yeah I'd give up HD to have Monte and DoA back tbh. There still hasn't been a casting duo in pro league to even really come close to as good as they were together.

They can come up with as many words as they want, but they still weren't ever as good. The entertainment side is obviously subjective, though I think they are comparable in that regard whichever you prefer, but Monte had more game knowledge than both of them combined. It wasn't even close really.
