At the ongoing IEM Rio Major, there has been a lot of talk and discussion about how the crowd inside the Riocentro arena has interfered with the game by shouting crucial information to the players.
To such an extent that ESL felt compelled to remove the minimap and x-ray vision during yesterday’s match between Cloud9 and the home favourites from Imperial in order to protect the integrity of the tournament, Shaun Clark, ESL Senior Director of Game Ecosystems for CS:GO has stated.
ESL implement measures to cease crowd influence at Rio Major
Following the episode and discussions, caster and analyst, Jason “Moses” O’Toole went to Twitter saying that people should “stop asking for sound proof booths” and that “the players “can’t distinguish words with this audio set up”.
Something, GamerLegion’s Frederik “acoR” Gyldstrand contradict completely in a response to the North American, after having played on the stage with the exact audio setup.
– I agree with the open scene. But the noise-cancelling headsets do not work whatsoever on stage. You hear EVERYTHING. The backstage headsets are 10x better both mic and cancelling noise.

Stop asking for sound proof booths those things absolutely and completely suck

For what it's worth I hope the Brazilian fans keep going fucking wild for whatever reason they choose. Players can't distinguish words with this audio set up. Go nuts Brazil
