Childish, how is this childish?

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.

What? Childish for being ( from the best of my knowledge ) the first person to comment on the sound problem? And it's not like he gained any useful information from the sounds at the time.

.......How the hell is admitting a possible (although it wasn't in this case) advantage childish?

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.

We recognized the problem, so now we have a plan to reinforce sound curtain and change headset device.

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!).

If he wanted to address the issue he should have spoken with the officials after the game, let them know the situation and fix it, not say it in an interview, create doubt about the match and about Gom's professionalism.

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.

I think that is was a very good call by GOM. While the noise definetly triggered Jinro I dont think it was the deciding factor in the match. By the looks of it Jinro would have taken it anyway.

Good to see the issue adressed and an official statement about it.
Let thy speech be better than silence, or be silent.

I'll never forget artosis's face when Jinro said "I heard the announcers go "OOOOOOO"" I hope MLG takes this seriously as well. 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.

It's not that he really did all that much to prepare for a 6 pool. Obviously a rematch isn't required, or even viable.

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

Nice of Gom to adress it this instantly. Don't think there should be a rematch, if Jinro had scouted 6pool he'd walled off.

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.

Because of the interview action might now be taken to resolve the soundproofing issue which by all accounts is known and brushed under the carpet. 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.

So what can you do for noise cancelling? How do they do it in BW ? Can't you use in-ear phones for the starcraft sounds and put attenuators above that?

But a korean player who can understand what they are saying could definitely hear something that could win them the game.

Oh, of course, he was very excited and in that excitement it slipped that he had heard something.

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

Is that the reason why Jinro's interview is not up on the site yet?
