donk about the stage and booths for players at IEM KRAKOW 2026:
It seems to me that the distance to the audience is greater than in Katowice, the atmosphere is different.[When asked if it reminded him of the arena at BLAST in Lisbon] - No, not at all.In Lisbon there were booths like this, but under a roof, and you sit under it, I don’t know what it’s called.Here we have an open space, but there it was closed, I like it better.I don't like the way BLAST organizes their arenas.It feels like you're playing at some kind of studio LAN tournament, it's a mediocre feeling.The acoustics are also worse because of this.The acoustics at all tournaments with open stages were better: Shanghai, Cologne, Katowice. #cs2
