Toby will be joined by Austin "Capitalist" Walsh to help the team cast The Manila Masters at the Mall of Asia Arena, the same venue that played host to The Manila Major and ESL One Manila last year.

Ater the crazy hype that both of those events brought, The Manila Masters should be a very exciting event. With TobiWan casting, you can be sure that you'll feel the excitement even if you're sitting at home watching on Twitch.

In a statement included in the announcement from organizers, Toby talks about his love for the Pinoy crowds. "I always thought the crowds of SEA were the best in the world when it came to commentating in front of, then I met the Filipino crowd and it got taken to a whole new level. There is a great buzz you get from casting Dota in front of a passionate crowd: during ESL One Manila and the Manila Major I learnt that in that regard, the Pinoys are hard to beat"

The reason that two casters have been added to the roster is because of Jorien "Sheever" van der Heijden and Owen "ODPixel" Davies' decision to cancel their attendance, due to medical issues. ODPixel explained the decision in detail earlier today in a Twitlonger post.
