In my opinion it took a lot of courage to actually mention this in an interview after the game. Knowing the impact this could have, people calling him a cheater and what not. | ||

Pretty disappointed with some of the reactions on TL to be honest. | ||

Just like to point out that noise-cancelling does not work this way. Noise cancellling is only effective against constant, very specific frequencies. BOSE for instance make headphones designed for travel use. They will block out constant noise like say, aircraft engines, train ambience etc. They are not particularly effective against speech, which produces very broad frequency sounds. They may reduce the volume of it certainly, but they cannot cancel it entirely, or even by a reasonable amount. | ||

Players felt uncomfortable about soundproofing earset and headset and pointed out sound curtain is too big. So we have used only headset without an earset and eased sound curtain. Behind of Jinro's booth, there is a speaker. All these circumstances made the issue today. I'm confused by "sound curtain is too big". If it's some sort of baffling around the booth it doesn't make sense that players would care how big it is. Maybe it's that curtain over the door in the back of the booth? If that was too big it would be annoying to get in/out of the booth I suppose. I saw some interviews where some players explained they blast music in the booth to drown out the noise of the crowd/commentators. Anyone have a link to that or more info about it? Also they mention there is a speaker behind Jinro's booth, so I guess they mean they will move the studio speakers around so they aren't blasting the studio sound right at the booths (oops!). | ||

I agree, but keep in mind. He just finished his game and and probably was full of adrenalin and still happy about the win. He started to swear again and I bet he did not think about everything he said. | ||

However its good to hear that in the future GOM will take the necessary precautions to prevent scenarios like this, in the future. | ||

Doesn't matter. The only way to deal with these things is complete transparency or else your image and support is ruined. I would bet money that the only reason Jinro even mentioned it in the interview, is because it had no effect upon his play what-so-ever. Its not like he got to make a hard wall-in due to overhearing info. Regardless that it was 'exposed' as a flaw, and had no change or effect upon the game it happened, everyone is fortunate. If this had happened instead with a DT rush in the semi-finals in the middle of a tied series on a fair map it would have been seriously worse. As far as outcomes could go, this is as good as it could have been. | ||

You don't have to speak any language to understand excitement that early on in the game. | ||

Can't you use in-ear phones for the starcraft sounds and put attenuators above that? | ||

I recall an Idra interview (don't know when, sorry) where he said he could sometimes hear the commentators, but it didn't really matter to him because he couldn't make out what they were saying. You don't have to speak any language to understand excitement that early on in the game. But a korean player who can understand what they are saying could definitely hear something that could win them the game. | ||

That is why I said it he was a bit like a child, overexcited. | ||

I remember TTone saying at the last MLG that he was afraid to 4 gate or stargate because it was so easy to pick out them saying "4 gate" or "Stargate" among all the noise, because the players could hear the commentators. Lol i wanted to re-watch the interview cause i missed artosis's face. However jinro's interview isn't even up on GomTv.net. while the winner of Nada and MKP interview is. | ||
