[s]korea[/s]During an Ongamenet SKY Proleague round between the two teams KTF and SouL, the crowd had to leave the studio because someone in the crowd yelled to Nal_Ra about burrowed Zerglings.
In the sport scene it sometimes happen that a team gets punished because someone in the crowd has acted against the rules, like hurting the judge by throwing objects or insulting the players. One of the most usual punishments is that you play in front of empty seats the next game. Who could've guessed that these kinds of things would happen to the progaming scene?
"Only a matter of time"
"It was only a matter of time before something like this happened." says mensrea in the thread at » TeamLiquid. He means that is was a lot easier to manage these situations before, since it was a much smaller crowd and lesser intensity from the fans. "I know of many fans who couldn't care less HOW their guy won - just as long as they won." he says, comparing the progamers to rockstars.
The crowd leaves because of the incident
Ccoma and Nal_Ra play without a crowd
How to solve the problem?
It seems like it doesn't matter that the players are wearing headphones, so what's next? Boxes where the progamers are playing, like they have in some game shows? Earplugs, separate rooms where the gamers are and where the crowd is with a mirrored glass wall between? The suggestions are many, but which one will OnGameNet use?
