And you know what's the best part? Chinese audience don't mind screaming like real fans do during climaxes, unlike the more conservative Koreans. Enthusiastic reaction from the audience is a part of a spectator sport and last year's WCG proved the Chinese are pretty damn good at it. Surely Korean Air stands to benefit from this. Part of its revenue must be coming from its Chinese division. | ||

MBCGame Hero Coach was complaining about this issue during Winnersleague/Round 4 this year when one of his players cheesed against Flash, and then Flash started looking for the proxied building after the audiences made some loud noises when they saw the cheese. | ||

That got proven to be wrong after that game, the players are setup in enough soundproofing that it won't be a problem | ||

No one can really prove that the problem exists due to player's settings and different hearing abilities. Exists or not, however, they are asked to keep their voices down, afaik. | ||

Thats the only time i remember in the last two years of it being brought up, its not that hard to stop, at the time the coach was just frustrated at how awesome flash's sense is | ||

That was bullshit and can be seen in the replay. Flash was scouting the bottom area by 6 for proxies long before the obs moved there (which led to the audience's reaction). It was very convenient that Light didn't think it worth mentioning during the game (or any of the previous MBC players during that evening, who if Light was right, all had a large advantage from their 'flawed' booth). There was however an incident in 2008 (again Light vs Flash) where Flash saw the audience waving (not heard). That was before MBC had raised booths though iirc. | ||

Below: because I consider both to be illogical move as the events hosted should be focused on the home ground, but yeah, the sentence is also heavily dosed with my esoteric sense of humor. | ||

This could easily be the biggest esports final ever. If the final 2 are S-class players it could be a record that'll stand for years and years. The ground will quake from all the cheers. | ||

KeSPA and Flash called it bullshit, but the problem was raised yet again. The fact was, and still is, the question was raised, KeSPA re-stated that they ask the audiences to be quiet during the matches (works out 100% of the time eh?), and that possibly results in audiences being more quiet. | ||
