Back at the hotel because the only interesting games are on tiny screens surrounded by tons of people. They have been showing replays on the main screen which started to get old. On top of the sound issues they have been having lag problems on the two main stage computers and it looks like they've abandoned them at least for the day. Hard to imagine why those two aren't working and the others all seem fine, I wouldn't be surprised if they are using wireless on those and something is interfering.

MLG Dallas going from bad to worse.

Incontrol is playing with ear buds right now. this is obviously good enough sound proofing for MLG.

there is no need to make players wear ear buds or IEMs while having noise cancelling headphones that play background noise to cover their ears

this is why this idra interview made me laugh, because idra did use this too and cry about the sound proof issue :/

From what I've heard, they commentary is no longer being played to the audience live.

#MLGDALLAS has stopped all commentary in the main stage area, but left on game sounds. Some worry even that might reveal info to players.

it will

Idra said he heard the void ray sound. it had nothing to do with commentating revealing information.

Inc just said that the crowd was cheering for Halo, not Select which contributes to all this nonsense.

Noise canceling headphones don't work for this kind of thing. The isolate a specific frequency band that is generally considered "noise" and produce frequencies at the opposite phase (so the nodes don't line up, causing destructive interference). What this does is make things less noisy, but they don't work well in the frequency band associated with the human voice (because they're not designed to). So they might actually make things worse. The air traffic controller headsets are probably really good, but whos going to wear them on stage? The set up this year is actually pretty good. The speakers are in front of the players facing out toward the audience in a gigantic hall filled with people, carpet, and non-reflective surfaces. There's also at least 80 dbs of ambient noise to cover everything up. I find it hard to believe that the players can hear anything from the main stage, even without headphones. But if they say they can, I believe them. What they should do is require CLOSED BACKED headphone which simply attenuate sound, and require a minimum volume of music (whether game music or the players choosing) and game sounds. Closed back headphones are readily available, are made by every good sound company (they're what are used in recording studios) and are made by many of the sponsors (if that's an issue- I know Steel Series makes at least 2 different models). I think that would solve everything. The issue is not about sound proofing or noise canceling, it's about masking sound. That's exactly what this solution would do. And for the record, iDra was wearing earbuds during that match which is why hear could apparently hear everything. He also saw the voidray with an overlord as soon as it was done building (so it didn't really change the game much).
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

They could just get some large speakers and blast the people playing on the mainstage with whitenoise. It would solve it pretty well and unless they are casting really close no one else could hear it.
