Live scrims and prerecorded broadcast feeds
These are instructions for those looking to practice casting. If you are looking to get your scrim recorded, check out the instructions here.

While we’ve created a lot of resources to help you improve your casting, there is absolutely no replacing the value of experience. Here are two great ways to get practice casting: A) Apply for Scrim Nights and our B) prerecorded broadcast feeds.
A) Broadcast.gg Scrim Nights
Teams need to scrim to improve, and you need to practice casting and/or producing. The Scrim Nights calendar makes it easy for you to find high level, coordinated gameplay similar to what you would see in a tournament. By streaming or recording the production, teams will also have an independent VOD.
Step 1: Download the Assets
We created a simple overlay that will allow you to display team names, track scores between teams both in game and on a break screen, as well as a replay overlay with live game PiP if necessary. Here is a link to the assets.
Step 2: Join the Discord
The calendars are maintained within the Broadcast.gg Discord in our #practice-casting text channel. Join with the link here.
Step 3: Record a Cast
The quickest way to get going is record yourself over a muted OWL VOD. Solo casting is fine.
Step 4: Submit a VOD to apply
Submit your VOD to #looking-for-feedback expressing that you’d like to apply for Scrim Nights and ping @MooshuBeef in it.
2. Prerecorded No-Caster Audio Broadcasts
If you’re looking to practice casting off of only a broadcast feed, check out the prerecorded no-caster audio video collection. All you have to do is screen capture the video and cast with a microphone. The video includes game audio, but no caster audio.
