As soon as I see how you can be part of the testing crew, before Columbus to ensure that everything is where it needs to be, I will make sure everybody here is aware. We are doing everything in our power to make sure Columbus and future events go as flawlessly as they can in respect to the LIVE Stream as well as the tournament it self. There is this information posted in http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=211390 thread as well. Looks like MLG is doing the extra effort and hoping to fix the issues. Kudos to them! | ||

However, it would've been even better if they looked at what Korea (GSL or MSL/OSL) was doing and learned from that. Then maybe Dallas would not have happened. Just saying  To ensure the player doesn't hear a darn thing, you need: 1. Soundproof booth 2. Industrial-grade noise blockers 3. Ear buds. 4. Have the speakers face away from the stage. Then commentators can scream as loud as they want without worry. | ||

Technically true, but 4 booths allows them to setup one game while another is being finished avoiding downtime. Of course knowing MLG, downtime is their specialty. | ||

Anyway, it should cost under a grand to build a proper studio/booth. It's not hard to find plans and tweak them to meet your needs. I wish it were that easy. it's not nearly that easy in our world... Keep in mind that the booth has to travel across the country 5-6 times a year. It needs AC to keep the players cool and have a window which we can get a shot of the player into. Not saying it's hard or unusual, but the reality is, most of the sound proof booths people are using aren't actually sound proof. The new GSL booths are. And the MLG booths will be as well. The unit you built in your basement would probably fall apart on the road. We need something that we can load onto a truck, assemble quickly and then break down again for storage. All while maintaining the integrity. There's several vendors that we're working with on this. it'll be done right. Sundance has decreed it so... :D | ||

1. noise isolation ear buds 2. heavy duty ear muffs 3. facing the speakers away from these booths 4. playing music in the booths 5. keeping a booth babe in the booths (seemed to work for the msl) I dont think you need ac maybe just ventilation since mlg venues seem to be freezing and sc players need to keep their hands warm edit- also you guys need to fill up the dead air between games leaving people alone like that kinda makes them lose interest fast. Dream hack used a lot of user created content and the NASL got the when cheese fails guys to create content for them. | ||

Sundance made this a directive. To quote him: "We're doing booths. Figure out how to make it happen. And make sure they're actually sound proof." We're working on it. Should have more word soon. Please give us some really good info and specs once it's all figured out. I'm really skeptical of booths because they're just sound buffers most of the time and can actually be worse because they can isolate players from masking noise without effectively reducing overall levels enough to matter. I'm glad you say they will actually be soundproof (which is a really big claim). I would love details on how they are to be made, what sound proofing features they will use, what materials, etc. It's just the nerd in me that wants to know, it's not a challenge or anything. | ||

Because it seems like they are trying very hard to make the next one run way better "Why do we fall? So that we may learn to pick ourselves back up." From the ashes of MLG Dallas, a phoenix will rise at MLG Columbus that shall take the e-sports world by storm, thus showing the mainstream public the awesomeness that is Starcraft. I'm really hyped to see what these soundproof booths will be like. Not only will it help the playing experience, but it should also be quite important from the live audience perspective now that they can turn up the caster's volume and have the audience actually hear Day9 and friends. Soundproof booths should really make MLG a much more legit tournament. | ||

There was literally no downtime. | ||

About the gazillions matches, booths are only required when the casters are casting this particular match (so the caster can cast to live audience too). As only one game is broadcasted at a time, only 2 booths (or 4 for dual streams) are needed. | ||

Well the only matches that need booths are those that are being live casted, right? And there won't be more than one or two games casted simultaneously anyways since there are only two streams. | ||
