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.
First game of the FIRST day, they stopped routing the sound to the crowd/ player area right after that because he told them.

Despite losing a ton of probes to a baneling drop, Tyler was able to hang on and crawl his way back to a win against Vibe in Game 3. Tyler moves on to face his teemmate TLO in CLR5. Will TLO stick with Terran against the Toss of his fellow Liquidian?
His teemmate guys..
On a serious note! I hope they stream Tyler vs TLO! ^^

Pretty sure they took the casting sound off main stage because of what Idra said.
the crowd can still give a lot of informations away, shame
