About this Video: Over Labor Day weekend at Red Bull LAN in Seattle the eSports playbook went out the window. At the event, fans of Blizzard Entertainment’s global eSports staple StarCraft II and scores of PAX attendees experienced an unprecedented twist to tournament play.

By voting every few minutes, onsite and online spectators wielded the power to help or harm, assist or antagonize the attending pro players during live gameplay, for which each of two pros were paired up with a lucky audience member as their teammate.

At critical junctures in the matches, event commentators Sean “Day[9]” Plott and Mike “Husky” Lamond called upon the audience to decide the fate of the players by dispensing bombs, unleashing demons, summoning vortexes and introducing other game-changing obstacles.
