I'm kinda questioning Dreamhack's decision here, there isn't any sound proofing right?
Wonder if they can hear any of the commentating. Correct me if I'm wrong otherwise...

Been thinking of the exact same thing since they showed the setup. SC players had those mini booths but these guys seem to be out in the open.

Heartbeat monitors still in for SC2 finals?

I believe they can hear it. I think Tobi yesterday saying something about having to commentate on only what both teams already know when they move to the main stage. It must be awkward to be drafting while hearing someone pick apart your decisions after each pick.

 

[HK-47]

Commentators will only talk about things both teams are aware of or events in passing, same situation as last year.

Really annoying that they dont have booths.

Especially considering they have 4 games that could use them

 

[pieatorium]

MTW going for the lich void last 2 again?

 

[ksan]

Ok, thanks for the info.
That kinda sucks for Paintitgold imo, will make his job a lot harder...

 

[Sibylus]

If Na'Vi want to go for a left-field pick, they could employ their Jakiro again. Would make pushing hell for the Nature's Prophet and Enigma.

Really annoying that they dont have booths.

Yeah, definitely irksome.

MillStephano ‏@MillStephano

Shame on me, i lost 4 times in a row agzinst this immortal sentries all in( dh + mlg anaheim )

MillStephano ‏@MillStephano

Dont get me wrong, this build is not imba i just havr the wrong answer to it .


Hero.

 

[SaberVulcan]

Cant lack of booths just cause them to like, turn around to screen cheat?

 

[Balehead]

Juggernaut again.

 

[HK-47]

Yeah, as a novice caster that must be really bothersome. He has to really watch what he says since he doesnt have much experience with that sort of situation. Cant blurt out things.

 

[pieatorium]

Jug + veno is super dangerous

 

[HK-47]

Im pretty sure you couldnt do that without being obvious.

Also Bane and BM. Black Holes are not going be easy. I really feel Navi this game.

 

[Won]

Really odd setup, if they really can hear it all.

 

[ksan]

I would have rather seen morph(or was it banned?)
Goes ridiculously well together with furion, which I think is maybe the best hero in competitive games after lycan.

That too, absolutely. I was thinking about the analytical side too (like comparing items they were going for~)

 

[Vano]

What a shame, wtf, next time they should do a booth like the International one.

Well CK isnt in yet so yeah.

 

[Milabrega]

Morph wasn't banned I was expecting it to be picked even though I don't think mtw runs it. Hate this sound stage set up. The players can hear the commentary, wow.

 

[ksan]

RAGE QUIT

 

[SaberVulcan]

Im pretty sure you couldnt do that without being obvious.

Also Bane and BM. Black Holes are not going be easy. I really feel Navi this game.

I doubt they'd disqualify anyone for reeling back in their chair and turning their head for a second. Just 1 second can let a team know where wards are, who is being ganked, etc etc.

Also, yeah, gonna need early aggression on mTw.

 

[evlcookie]

The fact they can hear is really odd. I doubt they are going to pay much attention to what is said but still.

 

[Capt.Haddock]

Power lost again,Now in main stage lol.

 

[ksan]

Dreamhack should be pretty good at that though, as they have ran CS tournaments like this a lot of times.

 

[Balehead]

The casting will be very awkward if they have to basically watch out for every word not to give away ganks etc.

 

[Finalow]

power loss, awesome.

 

[HK-47]

Roshan sneaks are gonna be really fucking awkward.

 

[Vano]

LMAO, wtf DreamHack

They can hear the casters. At least Tobi said that some cast before and Syndaren was all surprised. They just won't talk about any specific strats

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

How did I miss this shit?

 

[GasProblem]

Players hearing the casters, team disconnects, yeah...

 

[TheThunder]

I go out for a while and Mana beat Stephano ? wow

Nice, Mana really deserves some big Huk like breakout. Hope Dima wins so we don't have to see a shitty PvP finals.

 

[Helmholtz]

Wow, the players can hear them? Worst. Setup. Ever. And it's going to make the casting a lot worse as well. What a shame.

 

[SaberVulcan]

Roshan sneaks are gonna be really fucking awkward.

xD. I can see it now: Tobi stops talking for like 10 seconds, trying to figure out something to say that isnt "NAVI IS DOING ROSH!". Just going to be this awkward "So how about that gold graph? Yep, it sure is wavy."

 

[celestial body]

I'm only just learning to play SC2 but would a muta build completely screw that immortal-sentry push?

 

[Helmholtz]

They should have had the players play in a separate area or something... this is just silly.

 

[twofold]

Dimaga's ling/bling ZvP style is pretty awesome. It's refreshing to see something different from Roach/Ling pushes.

 

[Vano]

xD. I can see it now: Tobi stops talking for like 10 seconds, trying to figure out something to say that isnt "NAVI IS DOING ROSH!". Just going to be this awkward "So how about that gold graph? Yep, it sure is wavy."

"LETS LOOK AT THE XP GRAPH, YEAH, ITS LIKE A S"

also, almost 50k counting the russian streams (47k+ when i counted), nice.

Perfect time to bring up custom couriers and cosmetics.

 

[BigAT]

They can't even talk about the gold/XP graphs or last hit stats, right? That is information that is not normally available to the players.

This is match is going to be really poorly casted, unfortunately.

 

[Finalow]

yep, looking forward to see these rosh moments.

 

[abunai]

Yeeess, dimaga on form is amazing to watch.

 

[Vano]

Yeah that was what i was thinking :/, the XP graph can be told because you at least can see the lvls of the enemy team but the gold graph could reveal info.

Fuck yeah! back

 

[TheThunder]

14 INFESTORS!!

 

[Deadman]

yo dimaga spend your money and easily win please


ah yes, 14 infestors.

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

Hello PPY

 

[ksan]

sweet game, nice long battle, thought dimaga would drop the ball a couple of times there

 

[red731]

whoa. dimaga steamrolled with infestors there

 

[Corran Horn]

 

[Won]

lol at bringing the probes. Great run for Fraer.

Dimaga vs Mana for finals. Didn't see that one coming.

 

[Sibylus]

Roshan sneaks are gonna be really fucking awkward.

Happened a few times at Dreamhack Winter, was funny seeing Tobi trying to avoid centering his camera over the Rosh pit for fear of talking about it.

 

[TheThunder]

Hey, DOTA people. What's the score and how long do you reckon the final will go ? (I need to grab some take away before the SC2 finals)
