Falcons sent official complaints to Blast after the broadcasting incident

The Falcons organization officially sent a complaint to the Blast tournament operator after a clip from the tactical suspension period of the team was broadcast. This clip was shown on Blast Premier and then appeared on Blast's social networks.

In the clip, there is an awkward moment between coach Zonic, Degster and Niko. Zonic interrupted himself, Degster asked: "What?", Then Niko wondered if the coach had any idea or he made his own decision.

Details of the incident

The clip lasted only about 20 seconds but caused a strong reaction. It is said to have been cut off the context - from the view of both Falcons representatives and other members of the community. The clip does not show the way of stopping the end and what is the final decision of the team. The publication of the clip seems to be an attempt to attract the attention of the audience, but eventually caused a wave of speculation about Falcons's internal issues.

Word of the organization

The global director of Falcons's eSports, Grant Rousseau, quickly made a statement. He confirmed that the team sent an official complaint to Blast, calling the publication of the clip without context as an act of manipulating.

The clip deliberately deprived of the context, because it does not show the entire time of suspension (which they cannot do because there are tactical elements discussed at the end) - all just to create a sensational, noisy tweet and make a false impression on the coach and the players - he explains

Reaction of talents

Coach Liquid, Mithr and coach G2, Taz criticized Blast for announcing such content without considering the reputation of the players and the characteristics of the suspension time.

"Why do you share this?" - Mithr

The statement of Falcons has caused a wave of criticism not only for blasts but also on this organization. The commentator Scrawny reminded that Falcons had previously tried to affect the broadcast content - but in privacy.

"The same organization complained to the tournament operators behind the closed door to control what the commentators could say in the broadcast - so weak to horrible. And by the way, Falcons is not the only team to do it" - Scrawny said

Community reaction

The community was divided: Some thought that this clip was typical, while others accused Blast. Many people agree that without the full record of the suspension time, the video lost objectivity and made a false impression on communication in the team.

"Perhaps stop this trimming? Obviously you cannot show the tactical aspect of everything, and all you do is pour more oil into the fire to make people hate the coach." - Olen77955136

Besides, there are people who criticized Zonic, asking his ability to.

"Why does he claim to pause when there is no idea. The coach should read the match, plan, then claim to pause. It seems that the problem is not in Boros" - Blossom_DLC

In the context of a recent similar situation with ESL, when a tough sentence from Aleksib for IM is broadcast, the boundary problem in Esports broadcasts becomes particularly important.
