We obviously decided against sound proof booths for the World Championship. Booths aren't completely soundproof. They still use the same methods as we're doing with headsets - pumping white noise in. I’ve talked to a variety of players, and you really have the same exact same issues with booths – you can still hear the muffled sound of crowd noise, which can telegraph plays. It’s something we’re constantly thinking about ways of improving.

The reason we went our open headset solution was because we feel strongly that the players should be part of the atmosphere and crowd experience, instead of sectioned off in a booth. This allows the players to be easy to watch and accessible to the live audience.

As for the line of sight issue, we are working to address players not being able to look over the backs and up at the screens. We will be creating an overhang so this is no longer viable, and it'll be fixed for the conclusion of the playoffs as well as the finals.

In the long run, we'll continue looking at our options and picking what we think is best based on feedback and experience. Nothing's off the table.

ugh why does tuesday have to exist?

i want wednesday now dangit!

I'm not saying they are 100 perc guilty, im just saying there is perception in korean forum of doubt on their match, same as the perception of doubt which was placed upon azf v tsm in the english forums (here and reddit). It would be only fair to grant that rematch as well, as only doing so for tsm would seem biased would it not?

how many hours have you slept since wednesday last week?

In regards to the sun causing such a disruption to the players, how was this allowed to happen? Was there any planning involved that took into account the sun getting into players eyes causing delays, or was it simply an oversight?

lol at the uninformed fan base. Woong (ad carry) explained on his fb that he was surprised that some individuals actually accused him of cheating. after looking at the replay, he said that he had been bothered by the strong sunlight throughout the whole game, making his screen rather dark. the split second when he turned his head, he wanted to call the official to solve the problem, but decided not to. and right after he turned back his head, his left hand went on to adjust the monitor so its facing inwards. this all happened with 1.5 sec, please watch the replay before u spread rumors.
not ANY kind of turning heads indicates a player is cheating

sorry, but i didnt quite find ur conclusion abt rulings on tsm vs frost? i think the whole rematch thing is wrong. just sayin.

r u blind? im explaining tpa's situation, did i accuse woong of cheatin? im not a tsm fan like most ppl here demanding a rematch....use ur mind before u comment

well it depends on if riot determines frost's woong to be actually cheating or not(random ping at where tsm was). this has nothing to do with tpa (unless its also determined that they somehow cheated). granting tsm another chance=/=granting NJ another chance if its completely different issue right?

personally i dont think there shud be remake at all. matches are played, results should be final, at least in professional sports that is. nvr seen a final baseball match go on to have its scores changed because of a bad/missed call.

I love this game and will continue supporting it. The only issue is that I do not think you should overlook the Frost and TSM game. It will undermine e-sports if Frost goes ahead and wins the Season 2 championship. If the audio can not be audited to disapprove that Frost was cheating, the best way to handle the situation is to redo the games. If Frost really deserves the win, they will most likely come on top.

If you choose to ignore this situation it might undermine the future of esports.
