Check their thoughts on the games, on MLG, on practice, etc etc. Interesting notes: * TT1, and also Fenix confirms that when you're playing you can hear the casters. According to TT1 it really impacts and limits play because it makes it harder to do unorthodox or cheesy strategies since there's a chance your opponent will be able to find out. * SENTRY IMBA! Here are the interviews: Fenix TT1 Sen *Will upload Gretorp's interview tonight when I get home. | ||

Also sad to hear that the casters are audible for the players  Hopefully they'll find a way to resolve that in 2011. | ||

Real shame about TT1 saying he was staying standard because he was afraid of builds."The casters saying 4 gate or starport and his opponent hearing it." Puts a lot into question...... Really hope this gets improved. Don't think its that hard or expensive to build 4 sound booths that are easy to assemble and disassemble. So you always have 2 games you can be casting at a time without fear of interference. Why can't they just put them in another room in the building with a little backround starcraft music playing in the room and a camera? On a final note, think there needs to be a little more money. These guys have to play full time to stay in shape, compete and earn money. | ||

Yea it is a really big problem. At IEM they made the players wear soundproof headphones, and I think MLG either needs to do this or invest in booths. Actually at UCSD's Winter Games Fest, we had the players in the final move to another room to play their match and it was cast on the big screen in the main room - that wold be another solution. I still think there's room for improvement in terms of the spectator experience, give more benches/bleachers, they could have planned the floor space a lot better, it was in a huge room but half of it was almost totally unused. More computers too! However, I'm confident that the MLG staff will address a lot of these issues for next year, they seem to have been improving consistently between events and I have faith that they'll listen to the community. <3 Payam and Sen and Fenix and Andre (too bad Kawaii couldn't make it out!) | ||

This is a huge problem and would be so simple to solve with 2 pairs of soundproof cans. Thanks for the vids Xeris. False. There was a bit of an impromptu response. They said that these events and their corresponding budgets are planned out far in advance. It was not within their ability to get soundproof booths for Dallas, apparently. I dunno though, they better have something figured out for next year. | ||

That just can't exist in a professional level tournament. I really hope MLG fixes that. | ||

maybe. Here's hoping. Also I've heard this problem exists at GSL too. I really wish the tournaments where a lot more professional in general, it's good for viewing in the long run to not rig brackets (GSL) , have decent rules, and not be able to hear casters (maphacks). Blizzard Esports team really should step up and do somethign about this (standard rules, oversee bracket creations, and verify the legitness of tournaments. Instead they will keep fucking up blizzcon. It's really disappointing in general how SC2 esports have been ran so far. | ||

Like MBCGame's "Magic Studio"? Maybe MLG should buy it from them. I'm sure MBCGame would LOVE to sell it.  On a serious note, booths, plz. | ||

" I'm sorry for unable to provide a good performance for you. I hope I provided some good games at least, but unfortunately losing to TT1 and a Germany protoss player. It's a shame I wasn't able to perform well. Before I used to say my best matchup is ZvP, now I am put into a difficult position! <SIGH>. Doh! " | ||

(Like if a player was a bout to scout a proxy gateway, audience would be yelling in anticipation). I think an issue like that came up in korea at some point, that really needs to get solved like now O_O Yeah people with open-air headphones would get a huge advantage from this. I have the same headphones as Tyler (Sennheiser HD555) and I can easily everything people are saying around me unless my music is super loud or something. It would be interesting if one of the players like Tyler with open-air headphones could comment on this. | ||

It would be interesting if one of the players like Tyler with open-air headphones could comment on this. I never picked up a single word but lowering volume and focusing on the commentators' voices could go a long way with headphones like the Sennheiser HD555's. Personally I prefer earphones with a good seal but the ones I own are breaking down from wear and tear so I've had to go back to headphones. For some more context, consider the fact that you can sit down on the floor and see the screen perfectly well but not be able to listen to the commentators well at all. The players are certainly playing in an area outside of where the speakers are projecting. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/1uK79.png) rectangle = player area red = projector screen green = speakers, hanging from the ceiling, facing down blue = place where people were sitting watching the screen, but couldn't really hear the commentary | ||

I doubt I can find the post but part of what he said was they didn't have the money for booths and they would never stand up to the travel since MLG was not in a permanent location. I can see where transporting booths would be problematic but they have already implemented some sort of headphone solution by now. In the long run MLG is going to become a boring event if all the players only do standard play because of crowd noise. | ||
