There has been good debate on social media, after the verdict of the ESL Pro League finals in Odense.
the Focal point has been Astralis and the ’help’, as the audience delivered in the semi-final against Mousesports. Mousesports ended up winning the semi-final, and later in the tournament, but several times, one could rightly dispute that Astralis had a helping hand along the way.
in Particular, an episode created quite a stir in the debate. When Andreas ’Xyp9x’ Højsleth on runway two, Overpass, got a clear presumption that the two Mousesports players hid in a boost on the other side of the wall of the connector.
’Xyp9x’ believe, however, that there is a significant difference in the way that the audience ’helps’ at.
– There is a big difference in whether the audience consciously calling out for positions, or whether they get excited about, that is a great situation on the road, as in my case. The first is unacceptable, whereas the last, fanreaktioner and enthusiasm, is what it’s all about.

– When the crowd make noise in situations where there is not immediately something happens from your point of view, so that the players become paranoid. Should I pretend that I have not got the information, and then run out and die to a player, that I already aimed on the within the audience’s reaction gave his position away?, the words of the Danish Astralis-star on his Twitter profile.
the Solution is not, however, just considers ’Xyp9x’. There is immediately only one solution, but if you implement it, so killing some of the most important thing about Counter-Strike. Fanoplevelsen.
– I see only one solution. To make lydsikre spillerbokse, which eliminates all external sounds.

– There are big costs to implement the kind of boxes on the stage. They are expensive to move around, and it cuts off the audience from the players to a certain point. No matter what, so we need to work together with turneringsarrangørerne in order to overcome the problems, so that we can at the same time protect the game’s integrity, writes ’xyp9x’.
