Event details
Pyrionflax (Ted Forsyth) is a content creator, broadcaster, and esports personality with over 300K followers across YouTube and Twitch. Originally a producer at Sky and a programmer by trade, he broke into gaming content with his irreverent hand-drawn Dota 2 guides before joining The Yogscast in 2014. He has been a fixture of professional esports broadcasting ever since - hosting, commentating, and interviewing at nearly every iteration of Valve's The International championship from 2014 to 2025, and co-hosts the long-running Triforce! podcast (500+ episodes) with Lewis Brindley and Sips. His career is a masterclass in building a sustainable media presence from authentic personality rather than pro-level play - proving you don't need to be the best at the game to make a living from it.
