English-speaking Dota 2 players may have an unfair advantage at TI11 due to one big flaw with production

Dota 2’s The International has always featured soundproof booths for the main event—until this year. These special boxes allow players to perform on stage without hearing the casters or the crowd, which can be distracting when the stakes are at their highest.

Though it’s generally not ideal to have an outside audio source while playing Dota 2, it’ll be a whole other story if the sound belongs to the casters who are shoutcasting valuable information. As more teams got off the stage after the first day of TI11, players like Gaimin Gladiator’s (GG) Anton “dyrachyo” Shkredov revealed they could completely hear the casters while on stage.
