SPOILER ALERT
Yesterday IdrA admitted in an interview that he could hear the commentators talking during his game vs Socke. He heard that Socke was making a voidray. IdrA would have been prepared for it regardless, however, I find it really disappointing that there is no sound proofing at MLG and other similar events.
Yesterday HuK said he wouldn't go mothership because the crowd would just give it away.
Today incontrol made it clear that he could hear Day9 and DJ wheat talking about him prior to his match. Incontrol also uses earbud style headphones that have almost no outside sound blocking so it's safe to say that he could hear at least a portion of what was going on.
It's pretty unfortunate that this happens. I've played in hundreds of LAN tournaments over the 10+ years over many games and I personally would be pissed if I could hear the commentators. Not only would it give my opponent a possible advantage, but I feel it would throw me off my game as I'd be less likely to use units that are easily hard countered i.e. cloak banshee, dt, warp prism, quick raven.. etc.
I could build a sound proof greenhouse 4 times the size of the booths used in the GSL for under $1,000 so I'm wondering if MLG is going to wise up and realize that RTS can't function when players know what eachother are doing. It undermines the game itself making people unwilling to use risky strategy and while it would be annoying in FPS , the players typically have their sound turned up so they can hear footsteps and item pickups which is the opposite of RTS. I play with my sound on 7% and rely more heavily off visual queues.
***it's not the player's fault for taking advantage of the commentator, but I'd like to hear from other people who played at MLG and hear what they have to say about it. I'd like to know if incontrol dropped his 2nd gate in game 1 when he did because of what he heard from day9. For the last fucking time they stop playing the announcers in the crowd once the game starts read the fucking thread IdrA heard it in game. Explain.
They changed their setup after that game...

That was the first game on Friday and they've changed it since.

That was before they stopped playing the announcers.

the entire SeleCT being korean or american argument is just people not knowing if he has his american citizenship, otherwise you are all agreeing with each other. it's amusing.

Pretty sure they took the casting sound off main stage because of what Idra said.

Is Idra korean? Nick? Artosis? Koreans? No they arent, they are americans living over there (bar idra who moved back)
Just like SeleCT is a korean living in america
Is White Ra a korean now? He has been there for a week or so, give it up guys. Its based on citizenship. I am born in Bulgaria but have lived in Canada from age of 6. Are you trying to tell me that I'm not Canadian? If he has citizenship, then he is Korean American, I agree.But he comes from a Korean RTS background. He played WC 3 and DOW in Korea and represented Korea in the WCGs. If he grew up in the US and came out of the US RTS scene, then there's be no doubt that he's a child of the this scene. As it is he's kind of a hybrid.
This is something I find very interesting because it only ever seems to be America that categorises people as X American. African American, Italian American, Chinese American, Korean American...
If somebody takes British citizenship, we just call them British (or foreign scum, if you're a racist twat). If SeleCT has US citizenship, he's just American (or possibly dual nationality - not sure what the rules on that are in Korae).

Do any games play on stream or is this a talk show ?
They're going to show Naniwa and Kiwikaki but are having some technical problems, so they're talking til the game starts. This has been NOTHING compared to yesterday, so relax a little.
Also, for those you asking about the games they aren't showing, look up teamliquidnet on twitter.

It's already been explained multiple times in the last 5 minutes in this thread if you bothered reading at all.

That was in the very first game that was broadcast. After that they solved this issue. Please stop ignoring this intentionally to try to troll.
