seriously 2 best of 9s in the finals is too much. i never got the point of "if you lose and go to loser's bracket you have to win 2 series in the finals". it's bad for the spectators, players and casters. liquid was on the brink of elimination, over and over, and taeja busted his ass and now they're up against (arguably) the best team in starcraft 2, and have to win 2 best of 9s. there's no suspense unless you're into underdog stories. not to say i'm not rooting for liquid, of course i am, just feels completely unrealistic personally. what about like, preparing specific strategies for certain players? now liquid has to plan double? :/ bad tourney design imo.

They are.


they are actually made to put players in their "own" world and avoid the presence of the crowd

Of course they are. This whole visual que from the audience is bullshit, most booth have giant windows out to the audience. Booths might not be entirely sound proof, but along with the headset it helps. Before MLG had booths there were problems with players hearing casters.

I can't believe this to be honest, it's a huge deal. I hope those headsets have fucking industrial soundproofing in there.


It wouldn't matter if they were the best earmuffs ever. Due to differently shaped heads etc. it's virtually impossible for anyone but the player himself to ensure that he's completely sealed off. Without booths, we really have to trust in the honesty of the players, meaning that we'll definitely see much drama during the next hours about whether or not someone might or might not have heard some kind of crowd reaction and whether or not his reaction was "legit" or based on sound-bleed-through. :/

"Honesty" really doesn't even work here.

E.g. you're a Terran starting a game against a Zerg. If you hear a member of the crowd shout 6 pool you'd be stupid not to wall-in with your rax etc.

Soooooooo many problems could arise without booths.

Well I hope those headphones are soundproof. I'd imagine if they would use something like that they definitely are.

gsl booths definitely are not. MLG booths maybe a little better - but the in ear buds - headphones is what really is blocking the sound



you're wrong. The booth have sound cancellation "sound waves" that is quite noisy. The headphones are used so you don't have to hear those loud noises in the booth.

I'm sorry that it bothers me that I can't watch the HQ stream I paid for without potentially bleeding out of my ears.

I know the MLG booths offer almost complete sound proofing, from what I've heard.

because it wouldn't be fair to IM then. They haven't dropped a series yet, so they should have the chance.
