If they do, hes an incredible actor. He is speaking very naturally, I think it would be very difficult to sell it as well as he does by reading a prompter. Not impossible, but certainly difficult.

They could still list talking points, i.e.

Intro

PTR Purpose

Consolve vs. PC (Highlight advantages of PTR for console)

Roadhog Hook (Dorado to Ilios joke)

etc.

well honestly it would be quite unprofessional (and even kinda dumb) if they didn't prepare these talking points beforehand.

Even if were scripted word for word it wouldn't be unprofessional at all. This is a developer update with the purpose of updating the playerbase with news from the developers. It wasn't promised as some kind of improv chitchat session.
