Video: Booths at DH Open Cluj

4-11-2015 21:27

We have created a video delving into the booths at DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca in detail alongside one of the project managers of DreamHack, who shared how the booths were built and gave us specifications on pretty much everything you might need to know about them.

Noise-cancelling booths were something many players have been calling for in the past, especially due to concerns about players being able to hear casters through voice communication programs.

Naturally, fans make a lot of noise at events such as the majors, where there is quite a number of people in the audience, which is another reason as to why there should be features like this in tournaments to come.

We have taken the liberty to ask a few questions to Marc Winther, the project manager of DreamHack, who shared quite a few details on specifications of the booths and how they were built.

Take a look below as we delve into the booths to see what kind of a difference they make in terms of noise cancelling, how much playing space there is inside and more:

To our understanding, the exact same booths will be used at DreamHack Winter, which will play a host to the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 3 Finals, as well as at events to come hosted by the Swedish organization.

Now players can fully focus on gaming, with their own headset on. This is how it's supposed to be. Edit: Next time please "ship" some benq and good pc's in aswell.

more like good pc's. cant really choose your sponsors, besides i think the pc's are most likely amazing its just CS itself.

yes on 640 jk but lets say shroud plays at full hd i play on it too and with their updates i cant even have 250 fps all the time it goes to 200 lol

yea. shroud has had to lower res 2 lans now :D

2015-11-04 22:11

So what? Can you even tell the difference? You are only going to see as much frames as your monitors refresh rate allows you to anyway.Otherwise it tears to hell.

the monitor will use a more recent frame if you have more fps, lower input lag and smoother

2015-11-04 23:40

I don't think you understand how refresh rate works. Play with 600 fps compare to 200. You are going to feel a difference. If you are telling me having 60 hz monitors means that there is no difference between 120 and 60 fps than you are just retarded.

I can feel absolutely no difference on 300 fps compared to 500 fps on a 60hz monitor .

I can assure you that`s not the case . You are free to have an opinion however .

2015-11-05 20:55

An article that very clearly explains FPS/Refresh rate issue . Read on my less educated brother . tweakguides.com/Graphics_7.html

TL;DR have you ever tried 120 fps capped with 120 hz vs unlimited with 500 fps 120hz? It feels completely different you can ask people they will agree.

2015-11-05 23:48

Also if i read that right. He said that 60 vs higher hz is not that beneficial. That one thing makes the article invalid.

2015-11-05 23:50

Pros from 1.6 play 800x600 or 1024x768 and Lowest confings GA/LG players play this way

2015-11-05 14:38

they could very well have BenQ monitors with some ads they would stick behind in order to hide it. No one would have to talk about it. Then they can have eizo and their sub-part monitors as sponsors and everyone would be happy.

2015-11-05 20:30

whats actually wrong with eizo monitors? dont base your opinions on what other people say as they are probably just trying to satisfy their sponsors (benq)

2015-11-04 22:16

ceh9 in conversation with Navi asked them about monitors, and Zeus said he had issues with resolution... He was forced to play on different res than before Cluj-Napoca Major... Later major`s crew somehow fixed the issue!

2015-11-04 22:28

2015-11-05 10:26

2015-11-04 22:12

2015-11-04 23:51

I work at DreamHack where I'm a project manager for DreamHack Open, as well as anything CS:GO related.

2015-11-05 10:00

Kinda weird the article not mentioning your (important) role on HLTV.org, not that long ago. I hope everything is working out for you! Good luck and have fun.

2015-11-26 22:59

Haha, its a while ago now, 2012 :)

2015-11-26 23:15

Now that you mention it.. Time does fly by... :)

2015-11-27 09:24

Nixon did a great job, still remember him as a hltv.org journalist then he moved to SteelSeries and now he is DreamHack project manager. Keep it up!

2015-11-05 03:37

Pleased to see a lot of people recognise me even after the influx of new users with CS:GO and also the addition of a beard. Happy you liked the behind-the-scenes.

2015-11-05 07:42

That booth? *kiss* Perfecto I'm amazed sound-proof booths aren't a tournament standard. I assumed most of the booths used at tournaments were sound-proof.
