- At the HLTV Awards we got a chance to sit down with freelance esports host, Eefje 'sjokz' Depoortere. We talked about her experiences of working in CS and League of Legends, her path to becoming one of the most beloved hosts in esports as well as being inspired by the HLTV Awards to create her own "The League Awards" alongside Caedrel.

Sjokz ❤ hopefully we get to see more of her this year
as a fan of both League and CS its always nice to have sjokz on the broadcast!
HLTV been going crazy with all these banger content recently
incredible
sjokz is just a joy to watch on the screen. looking forward to seeing her in Kato
sjokz brings so much excitement to her content, thanks for sharing!
I was just thinking about Sjokz during the Blast tournament, I really miss seeing her in cs events!! She is so well spoken and an absolute queen, so glad to hear from her again as I don't watch League ❤
she's not commonly invited to Blast events for some reason (although she said in the interview she was in some 2019 Blast events), but i feel she's guaranteed to be on at least one ESL event per year, like at Katowice soon and she could possibly be at Cologne later in the year
Sjokz is a GOAT in eSports!
I agree she's a GOAT, but it's not a brand name or a product name, esports is an english word. English words don't have capital letters in the middle.
sjokz is fucking inspirational. love her job in eSports.
much love from Brazil!
more of Sjokz please!
why not just keep both.
esports queen, doesn't matter if it's CS or LoL, she's the best!
big props to Nohte, good interview Sir!
Always a good watch with Sjoks in the thumbnail ❤
Hope to see her talent flourish more in PLG/IEM scenes
sjokz is queen of esports talent, thats for sure! we're lucky to have her in cs tbh
i didn't expect she got and interview with HLTV... she really help another talents with some of the language that she speaks... ❤❤
She is amazing. 'Definitely a glitch in the Matrix' - that's what I thought when I saw her for the first time at the CS event.
She is an amazing interviewer; very talented. All the best sjokz
sjokz is an international treasure who must be protected at all costs! She's such a beautiful ray of sunshine no matter what she does that it seems she makes everyone around her shine more and be the best version of themselves! Props Queen sjokz! 🤩😍💖
W interview W talent W Sjokz
The best and one of the only female casters/presenters that I actually liked in sports, let alone eSports. Did such an amazing job for league and later cs. Appreciate her professionalism and humour... Hope she sticks around the scene.
Thanks for the insight, I wish you the best of luck.
sjokz 🐐
simply sjokz
pls more sjokz
It's always nice to have Sjokz on the desk regardless of game.
She's so lovely!
Shes really good at what she do!
still think the sjokz - prof - m*n**c desk combo last year (or two years ago?) was amazing, hopefully sjokz will work with freya more and prof can make some desk appearances again
how gay do you have to be to censor the name maniac like it's a swear word lmao
@sonicboom20078 its a joke man take it easy
I actually think that sjokz is really close to being a mainstay in CS in terms of talent. I think she's on the same tier as launders and scrawny last year where they were getting some casting gigs on bigger and bigger events and have shown their talent at being the hosts of a wonderful viewing experience. I think sjokz doesn't know we enjoy her presence more than she thinks we do. I emplore her to take more CS gigs because I think the scene is better for it.
One of few women I dont consider a DEI hire., absolute legend in her own right. Thank you for these years Eefje, and all hail the shock rifle!
"I'm a mess, we all are." 👌
you're very welcome in the CS space, sjokz. as a simple spectator who'd like to see her at more events thru the year, it's a shame she's so commited to LoL
Nice
Лучшая в мире 💅
I love mommy Sjokz
W Sjokz
sjokz is amazing Women :)
Imo e-sports is a kind of new child on the block and because of this make its own brand of broadcasting. Dont try and copy other brodcasts like inside the nba.. Look at what works, banter and connectiom to players, but at the same time give the fan, they are all "nerdy" and really into the game, deep dives into some key moments from the game. One of the best sports broadcasts in the recent years, cbs golazo, is doing that and it makes the viewer feel like they are watching their buddies on a sofa talking some smack but also bring out really important points to watch out for.
One of the coolest tournaments in cs history (my opinion) was cs_summit, because that felt, as a viewer, like a group of buddies talking about the games and just having the players join in kind of randomly and having jokes with them makes it just feel as if you get a connection with the whole thing better.
🌞💞👊💙🏆😍🏆❤️👊💞🌞
💞👊Thanks🎀Siiuuu💞🌞
I really miss UT.
So Beautiful Woman! a little remind me a Grimes 😍🤩😘
understand her regretting leaving cs. league is so bad rn..
Amazing, kick banks and add sjokz, huge upgrade
banks is a legend
@@Elliotcartlidge nah he's a fake Ukrainian lover. guy is from UK but wishes he was from UA
Really dont need to recycle talent, we should bring up someone from our own community.
mommy
yeh, she misses cs only when kato cologne or majors are around the corner, rest of the season sdgaf. might be the best in his job, never understand the hype around her, my bad I guess, but I prefer give her spot to people who work his ass off during the whole damn season, from the useless iem dallas to the prestigious iem cologne
Why are we sharing talent with Valorant and Riot? We're not friends here.
Whats your problem
@@Laloo-bl6gi why would anyone have an issue with a game developer that's blatantly copying everyone and at the same time grabbing the chinese bag? anyone working with Riot is by extension sharing that bag
@@x.nihilo Sjokz is freelance talent so she’s not directly part of Riot. Just like Machine, who’s hosted several League tournaments. Also the last major was in China and organized by a Chinese esports company? I won’t argue that Riot is “copying” other games but competition is a good thing.
@@Laloo-bl6gi idk... I personally don't respect anyone involved with Riot. It's one thing to host a major like Valve did in China to expand their market reach, and I would say it's something completly different to have your money come directly from China's inhumane practices (child labor, gulags, and what have you)
my answer to miss cs
go play matchmaking and we will see how much you miss this game after that
trust factor issue
@@jcoxy1057 yes i play without cheats i guess maybe that is the issue
Trust factor is just bullshit. Why is there no working anti-cheat yet? How hard is that to make?
Why should a clean person suffer for being clean?
You don't think they're referring to the Esports side of things?
@ bruv who cares if they don't care about the casual player then why should anyone care about the esports side
working? cringe
