In that interview EGIdrA said @ 17seconds

"The sound proofing on stage isn't perfect, I could actually hear that he was making a voidray in the first game"

Wasn't this something that was complained about last MLG? That is pretty huge, hearing "Voidray" is pretty harsh for whoever hes going up against, but what if it was something like "DT" or "Banshee", that is game ending...

Were there any efforts made to actually improve the sound proofing situation?

The MLG admins were already noted and no more reports came out afterwards that player could continue hearing the sound. So they probably fixed it already.

I don't really want to QQ about it; MLG is gonna get things fixed eventually.

He told admins after the match, that is why they stopped pumping the casters into the crowd. (Hence when JP was casting he asked people to make noise for Tyler and no one cheered **They could no longer hear them**)

Everything about the MLG is a joke. Especially if you paid for HQ.

Seems like investing in a pair of noise-canceling headsets like the ones that ground traffic controllers use on aircraft carriers would seem like a no brainer. Sadly it doesn't seem like that's the case.

That guy was a jackass. How rude to run infront of the camera.

Shame about the audible caster thing. I really wonder how expensive two booths would be to invest in, especially after Dreamhack have announced them.

Also, the jackass comment was fully deserved (really want that guys camera as well, quality is really nice).

I'm here at MLG and now they turned the sound for the casting down so low that you can't hear it as a spectator. Major fail.

Well, it seems to me like MLG is producing epic fails in all aspects of their little event.
