Energy restrictions that GOM must follow? Everyone always has a coat on when i watch the GSL it seems. I guess I've always wondered why the booths are so cold to the point where hand warmers are needed to get your handspeed up.

government regulate the energy industry etc or something?

Or it could just be air conditioning being turned on. Some people (ok maybe just me) get cold when they're put up on stage with thousands of eyes staring at them.

I always get cold when I play StarCraft. It can be adrenaline or the fact that your not moving much just your hands, you get cold. Watch players in any tournament they likely have a few layers on.

I'm pretty sure Korea is freezing cold in the winter. They're probably wearing jackets because it's winter. The jackets come off when they're playing, from what I've seen.

But even John is running around with a coat on.... All the fans have coats on it seems when they come down to view the GSL. You think they would pay the heat bill and get that thing up to a reasonable level...being a professional event and all...

From the article it seems that only public agencies are effected by the energy conservation laws. As for the handwarmers and jackets... when I play I am usually wearing sweatpants and a hoodie because (even though its 72 F in my room) i get really really cold while playing starcraft, especially my hands.

Adrenaline would just negate the feeling of cold.


Maybe the fact that south korea is in the middle of winter, is a reason why it is so cold? =|

if you've ever been to a TV studio you would know why its cold. The ceiling is high, the room bis big, they usually don't have air conditioning or heating on during filming because the systems make noise (the acoustics in studio's make everything louder) and nearly everything inside is made of metal (which leeches heat from the room when cold).... combination..... cold studio during winter, boiling during summer.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

From reading the article it sounds like the SK government is only restricting the heating of government buildings. Considering that GOM isn't a government agency I'd assume this wouldn't apply to their studios.

This is wrong. Andrenaline will actually make your extremities (especially hands) cold. Starcraft simulates a fight or flight scenario in your brain (hence the adrenaline rush). Its a sympathetic nervous system response. This causes your body to pump less blood to non-essential areas (hands) and send blood to more areas like your core, brain, thighs. Things like hearing, vision, reaction time, heart rate all sharpen/increase. However, your hands get cold, due to lack of blood.

Insert witty statement here.

Adrenaline can make you feel hot thats true but also you can get cold after the rush of adrenaline. Playing a few games you may get a few hits of adrenaline but once its over you may get cold then that process could start over again. I've heard Day9 point out this before, players layer up while gaming.


Edit: Never mind the answer above is much more scientific
