Huge props to C9, it didn't even look close by the end. I don't think they can take down Faze, but then again I'd have said the same about this series. Good stuff.

And now for a list of meaningless and inappropriate excuses for SK:

  1. standin
  2. had to play a 5 hr series earlier that day
  3. got their plays called out by the crowd
  4. 100T attended the major undercover and trapped SK in a week-long drug-fueled bacchanal

they wear noise cancelling iems underneath acoustic earmuffs, they cannot hear a few people in the crowd screaming a call. maybe when the whole crowd is in suspense due to a player behind knifing or in front of crosshair through a smoke they can hear the synchronized gasps but I can promise you they can hear a lot less than you think.

thats why they all had earbuds on, bc the headsets are noise cancelling

yes they can. tons of players have talked about how inefficient the IEM+headset combo is on stream

reakothats why they all had earbuds on, bc the headsets are noise cancelling

they're noise cancelling in that they are passive (think ear muffs for shooting), the IEMs just add another layer of passive isolation. there's nothing active going on in the headsets (think bose ANC headphones) other than maybe some white noise being pumped in

the headsets stop a normal level of sound that you would expect while playing in a studio/small crowd
but especially once a crowd gets loud you can hear pretty much everything
also they're uncomfortable as hell

are fair "excuses", a team should never have to play 2 bo3 major playoff series in one day. It would be better to do 2 quarter finals per day, 2 semis in one day, third place decider and grand final on the last day. Not only removes the stamina problem but also the lack of preparation.

I hope Cloud 9 changes up their pick/ban phase and bans Overpass instead of Nuke which leaves it up to Faze if they want to pick Mirage, which is one of C9s better maps since it too is also Fazes best map
Maybe something like
C9 Ban: Overpass
Faze Ban: Cobble
C9 Pick: Inferno (Train?)
Faze Pick: Mirage
Faze Ban: Train (Inferno?)
C9 pick: Cache

Interesting mentioning crowd calling plays for a team. When SK fans did it during their match against FNATIC

Clip proof.

  1. had to play a 5 hr series earlier that day

are fair "excuses"

That post was sort of tongue-in-cheek. However, I do think that a major can never be 100% competitive - if you wanted to provide perfect conditions, you'd let the teams play in a hotel room somewhere in a multi-day round-robin format without playoffs. The majors are as much a celebration of the game and an opportunity to interact with fans as they are a pure sporting contest.
Of course, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do all in your power to put teams on equal standing, like provide soundproof booths. But excessiveky lamenting some team's results misses the point of the major imo, and the other dozens of random things that influence who wins.
