Haha I've thought of this too, but the problem is that it doesn't explain any of the other starsense things. Scouting might be possible because the set is relatively quiet, but how do you know in the middle of a game while macro & micro & etc. what exactly the crowd & commentators are saying?

Also, I find it hard to believe that someone with such rare and insane skills happens to also have insanely better hearing than any other progamer. I'm sure the chances of that are seriously low.

But it is probably more likely that he is just a genius. I have lost track of how many times in tvz he will scan the zergs third the exact moment where the drone is starting the hatchery, and there are way more examples like this (random vultures running into places where just at the very moment hydras are picked up by overlords etc.)
It just seems that he "knows" time. Based on what he sees ans what he builds je just knows what must be happening on the map at the very moment.



Not the case, I watched the VODS, there is no way, the commentators didn't even go nuts until Flash his SCV almost reached Leta his Nat/Main.


and you understand korean? not that i do, but the commentators could be saying "oh flash just scouted the wrong direction, now he's scouting in the right direction"


Nah, not that , I meant that I don't think the sound of their voices would ever penetrate that booth, the volume was just too low.

If he was shouting plaaayguuuu then I would understand that Flash might hear it.

unless he has a build in sound magnifier in his ears.

when you're actually sitting in the crowd, the commentators aren't that loud. Actually listening to VODs their voices are much louder in comparison. Plus, I'm pretty sure their earphones MUST be on max volume, then they have the soundproof headphones as well, plus the soundproof booth.

Still, I'm curious if that has happened in recent BW history. Would the Koreans have the balls to fess up to it like Jinro did?
