The caster Maxim Markow bet on the outcome of a LoL game. Because he lost this bet, he had to read the patch notes of League of Legends naked. You can see the result here.
What was the bet about? On May 17, the caster made a tweet that included a bet. It states:
“I will cast TL vs IG in an hour! I’m really excited about it. Because if TL should win, the upcoming patch rundowns will be moderated exclusively naked.”
Ultimately, the TL (Team Liquid) team was able to decide the encounter 3:1 against IG. Maxim then commented on the result with this gif.
Maxim is very well-known in the German LoL community and is considered by many to be the most famous German LoL caster. He made a name for himself as “Lets Read Small Books” on YouTube. His channel has over 570,000 subscribers there, and on TwitchTV, he has over 140,000 on his channel.
This is how Maxim fulfilled the bet: On Thursday, May 30, a new video about the patch notes rundown was released on Maxim’s YouTube channel. With an interesting helicopter animation, the caster flew in front of the greenscreen and picked up the microphone.
With the words “Bet debts are honor debts, ladies and gentlemen,” he opened the report about the new LoL update.
“In contrast to my device, this patch is comparatively short,” explains Maxim, while a generously large censorship bar covers a crucial part of his lower body.
In the YouTube video, you can get an impression yourself and, if your concentration is not disturbed, learn more about the new LoL patch.

In the comments on Reddit and YouTube, viewers enjoy the creativity of the video. They also praise that he stood by his bet.
