Recently the KPGA finals is becoming the cause of much discussion.
Despite having planned to hold the tournmanent outdoors, the MBCGame staff hadn't thought about the effect the sun could have till the game started. I suppose that goes for the two player's teams too -_-
Anyway, the finals were delayed for around 40 minutes because Boxer sat down to discover some unbearably bad glare on his moniter from the sun.
So, Boxer tried some different moniters, changed his position some, and eventually played with a black bag on top of his moniter.
Someone on KTF had some sunglasses, good thing for yellow -.-
Other than that, there's always the suspicion that the players could hear the announcers. Lacking the sealed chambers of OGN, the players rely only on their headphones to block out outside sounds.
In a post regarding the finals, Yellow stated that he didn't hear a thing outside the sound from his headphones.
So people are flaming the hell out of MBCGame as of now :o

Hahaha, wtf were they thinking playing outside? :D
|
all tournaments should really have sealed chambers or something. even the slightest chance of someone hearing something is so bad
|
... yellow was able to hear the announcers and boxer really tryed to rush ??
"ooohh prox barracks, looks like hardrush " ....

now i know why he lost >_<

Ok, they cannot hear the announcers but what about the audience?? You notice that something's going on when you see them screaming or jumping, don't you? 
|
screaming and jumping
i think that does the opposite of helping
|
it doesn't help if you're trying to be cute, but if you aren't doing anything unusual and the crowd is gasping, personally i'd do some scouting, wouldn't you?
|
ya the if you hear a loud mumur in the croud you can assume your opponet is not just sitting there...they are obviously trying something
|
Although you COULD get some ideas of the crowd screaming "GO BOXER GO!", at least I would still try to concentrate in the game... I don't think either of these players look around or try to hear what the crowd has to say - vice versa, I think they're trying to ignore it as much as possible to give all their concentration to the game.
|
playing outside^^ nice idea. but this brings many complications with it. not only the sun...what if boxer gets stung by a bee in the hand and can't play on :o, or female birds try to nest on yellow's hair (you know what's the deal with girls and yellow )?
would the match have to be replayed? is boxer allergic to bees...and could yellow resist the temptation?  omg i need some rest...

black bag.... talk about low tech solutions :O
|
heh, I doubt they cheated.... they must concentrate on game 100% to stand a chance vs eachother.
|
i always wondered about that. what if someone turns their sound down so they can hear? i mean i personally dont play with sound, i think its annoying and it cripples my playing -.-b i assume they force u to use sound? gay. what a crappy excuse for boxer though. sun glare. i mean cmon. if the bag blocked it out then there is no excuse. it couldnt have made so much of a difference that he lost 3 games -.-v
|
I'll bet Yellow pretend sneezed and learned to read lips, so he sneezed and looked around and one of his spys mouthed to him 'PROXY RUSH.' Well, in Korean.
|
that was so gay. I bet those lazy bums at MBAgame never held a rehearsal, or never sat down at the gamers' seats at the time the game was supposed to be held.
that black stupid bag is a disgrace for boxer.
|
if i played boxer, saw the crowd screaming and shit, i'd leave the game

Ah so that's why Boxer lost 
|
100% agreed about the crowd affecting things. Hell if I was a progamer, I'd plant audience members to give me specific signals. Like 5 stand up and one sit down in a specific pattern if he's going mutas, or lurkers, or rush or whatever. You could basically map hack doing stuff like that. Thats why they played in those little spaceship looking things for ogn finals, because not only are they soundproof, but also tinted from the inside so that the player cannot see outside of it at all.
