i've always heard the GOM booths are the best, hrm.

All the previous interviews in which players said GOM booth is the best were referring to the booth's comfortability, because it was much larger than the OGN's.

Sounds like less of a booth and more of a sound and speaker placement issue. Also, sound proofing head phones and gear are far more effective than any booth will ever be. That with white noise could be aich easier fixing the problem.

Hey now that ESF is dead Kespa can go back to boycotting GOM eventually, I think commander Stork just planting the first seed.

Yes boycott the only consistent individual league in Korea. Which also leads to qualification in a tournament where the winner earns a crapload of money. Brilliant

Just came to think of the upcoming IEM Katowice. Now imagine 10.000 screaming fans with the players open on the stage (unless they change that). That shit will be absolutely insane. :D

People need to understand that at the point where booths are literally plastic and plywood, they provide little noise security other than a placebo for the viewership. Stop skimping out on five dollar earmuffs that do nothing but keep ears slightly warm. Buy some actual earmuffs like 500 dollar Peltors that provide 27db noise reduction, and require real in-ear monitors that provide even more noise reduction.

This problem isn't just present for GOM. Having been to multiple events over the past years, booths are the most fraudulent thing and everyone seems to think they are sound-proof. All they do is ruin shots of players because of internal reflections on the shitty plastic 'glass' and provide branding space for a marketing department.

Stork ears to op for the booth. Was probably a speaker issue though as mentioned earlier.

Personally I think you're being rather over-optimistic here. That is the situation as it currently is; but it doesn't have to stay that way.

Lets be honest, KeSPA does not have a good record as far as GOM goes and would just love to force them out of the scene. Remember the OSL/GSL boycott that the now-deceased eSF sorted out by fighting back? Without the eSF now there's nobody to retaliate, especially given there aren't many Korean non-KeSPA teams anyway. GOM is completely exposed to KeSPA's whims.

By boycotting the GSL they could fatally undermine its legitimacy within a season or two. They simply step in with their own tournament to take over. GOM is left with nothing in the SC2 scene and KeSPA has its monopoly back.

Yes it may sound paranoid but still...this is KeSPA we're talking about. >_>

Why does this kind of issue still exist? It's as if we are still in 2000.

Im pretty sure nearly all the younger players wouldn't say anything because it would cause drama and give them a bad rep but seeing his game esp vs. hero, I knew that something was off. The way hero scouted & microed that stalker, I was 100% sure there was something strange about it. Even if something couldve been seen for a split second it doesn't mean that a player will instantly see and react accordingly but a reaction by the crowd which can be heard can reveal everything...at the end, it's not good for us, the viewers.

Stork is by many kespa progamers seen as a spokesperson because of his age & status. At least I hope that something like this won't happen again...
