OpTic Gaming captain took to Twitter earlier this afternoon after noticing on stream vods that 
Virtus.pro had not been wearing sound-proof headsets during the draft of their match together.
I specifically requested both teams to wear soundproof headsets during the drafts because our rooms are separated by a curtain. I was assured that would be the case. We speak English and do not speak Russian. They speak both. Absolutely unacceptable. @pglesports pic.twitter.com/gqtx1DEgWO— Peter Dager (@Peterpandam) March 4, 2018The group stage matches of The Bucharest Major 2018 are being held in a large room sectioned off into makeshift "booths" for each team, separated by curtains. Virtus.pro and OpTic's booths are next to each other, so one piece of cloth is all that seperated the teams during their match.

We take full responsibility for the situation and acknowledge it was an admin error. The people in question have been reprimanded and are no longer on admin duty.— PGL (@pglesports) March 4, 2018
Despite the headset situation, OpTic were successful in their single-game series against Virtus.pro today. They started out the series at a serious deficit but managed to make an impressive comeback to swing the game in their favour and start the Major with a win. OpTic's next opponent will be drawn after the conclusion of the final game tonight.
