I've been watching alot of GSL and I just haven't understood how they keep the players from hearing what the casters say... nor how they stop them from hearing the crowds reaction or at the very least seeing the crowds reaction (the booths are translucent no?)
Because from what I've seen the backside of the booths are only covered by a thin cloth whereas the audio from the casters seems impossible to not hear; In the studio games because they're so close (you often hear them aloud even when watching the english casters) and in the finals because it's a godamned stadion with stereo setups. Ontop of that, as said above, the crowd cheering loudly.
And at the very least, they should be able to see the crowds reaction, if nothing else in the finals when they have a whole stadium full of them with those balloon bats they use to cheer.
Anyone know how the tournament staff prevent this? Or is it just player discipline not caring or just keeping to their own playstyle instead of reacting to the vague cheers of the crowds?
Thanks!

Jinro answered that in the most recent interview: There is really loud music in the booths, he had to turn up his audio to maximum to be able to play comfortably.
Edit (copypasta): "The process is pretty much what Jos describe, what most people probably don’t know though is that there’s quite loud SC music playing inside your booth to drown out outside sound, so you gotta play with your sounds set to maximum. When the game starts, the music goes way up too, masking everything. It’s good, but was a bit of a surprise for me."

I don't remember this from the videos, but is it possible that the curtain just covers a solid (possibly transparent) door? That, along with the very loud music, would probably make the booths soundproof enough.
|
haha ruining progamers hearing ftw.
But then, they still see the people from their booths yes?
|
there is loud music playing in the booths in addition to the booths not letting too much sound in
|
There's a door behind that cloth.

Wouldn't that completely screw up your hearing? As if fucking up your vision playing everyday isn't enough.

It's a very limited exposure, on top of that I can't imagine it being any louder than being in a nightclub.

They use light projector to hide the audience. Remember at Blizzcon? One of the player complained that the light was too bright and paused the game, he was playing agains Sen or Loner and he too agreed that it was too bright.
|
There is music and other noise that the players hear, this have never been an issue except for maybe Boxer 
|
Interesting, never knew about the sound. Hopefully its not loud enough to cause damage.

aa cool... seems quite straining on the players though

you also wear ear buds under headphones (earmuffs?) whatever those big clunky headclamps are. i dont know whether theres anything playing out of them.
|
They often have ear protection, and then in earphones inside, so i guess they don't even hear the boot music, if they are prepared 
|
I was wondering this when I was at mlg dallas spectating. It seemed like the players could hear the casting unless they had music blasting in their headphones or something bc everything was in the same room

MLG Dallas is different and bad, because the players can actually hear the casters.
Also, even if they could see the crowd in GSL, it's not really worth diverting your attention from the game, just to possibly see the reaction.
|
No you couldn't hear the casters at MLG... Also, people dont realize how much concentration it takes to be on top of your game. You cant really stop playing for a few seconds to try and listen to the casting...

Agree with this, obviously I'm far from a pro gamer level but even when I play with music, if it was a close game I will have no idea what music tracks were playing during that match, the brain just tunes some things out completely.

That was Demuslim complaining about the light in his match against Maka, I believe. The light on him was really, really bright, too.

When did this forum become full of nits? I'm sure if it was that bad people would be complaining about it. You can always wear ear buds with some ear protection over it too. I mean I'm pretty sure idra and other people would bitch about it if it was deafening.
