back in my day, we had to watch vods on a 320x240 SLIDESHOW to get some Korean League action
i know gomtv crashing does suck, but think of it this way, this is a sign of esports growing, something all of you cried for!

I for one was perfectly happy with it being a Niche thing.

This way the games actually you know...stay good instead of going for dollar signs.

It was actually the first time it's crashed for me in months. (I actually cant remember the last time) From my perspective they're doing a pretty good job. Technical mishaps will always happen as long as technology isn't 100% reliable and I think it'll be a long, long, long time before that happens.

I'd say that dollar signs are probably a big part of the reason why there are pros and why they play such good games in Korea. SC1 and 2.

I've watched just about every night of GSL since season 1 and this is the first time it crashed, and it came right back after I refreshed it. No complaints here.
Do an arranged marriage if she's not completely minging, and don't worry about dancing, get a go-kart, cheers.

Oh man, you must have missed the night with the Jinro versus Idra bo5. That was some intense crashing. Too many foreigners wanted to see it.

The stream crashed tonight but it was immediately after the results of Jinro's match were basically written in stone so it was fine.

Honestly you just sound entitled. You're lucky that there is a GSL that's readily available and free for you to watch. No one is obligated to give you a certain quality of service unless you're a paying customer. You don't outright deserve streams of these games just because they exist. GOM and Blizzard are spearheading the enterprise, an enterprise that I'm sure you enjoy. So instead of raging and complaining that the site is down you should be patient and grateful that Starcraft 2 is streamed for your enjoyment free of charge.



I would say this about sums it up.

Turgid I totally watched the shit out of that. It was amazing. And no crashes occurred for me.

I think someone doth protest too much. The VODs are really there so you don't have to watch in the middle of the night.

I've always liked GOM, I don't know why, but I didn't look into not liking them. I've always just wanted to blame everything on Blizzard, or thank Blizzard.

GOM providing a free stream is not your right as an individual, you should be thankful that it exists. Hopefully the game expands, is embraced, lasts just like Brood War has, and changes the world into playing wargames instead of actually engaging in them.

Does anyone randomly get errors when trying to play the free stream? I seem to get errors every 5-10 minutes which persist for a couple minutes each time. I also get a lot of lag issues with the free stream but that's probably just because of the Australian internet.

I'm just sad that they cracked down on restreamers as hard as they have. Before I were able to casually watch the matches at work via some restream but that's not an option now since I cant use gomplayer at work.
Sure I could buy the vods but the thing is that I really dont think that sc2games are really worth it, not yet atleast.
My opinion is that if they really wanna grow the audience they should allow restreams so that everyone can enjoy the games just like we do with the bwgames

lol u dum

why would there be any correlation between $$ and bad games. Also, id point out that the reason why there is such an awesome BW scene in korea is because of big sponsorships, which dont come from having a niche thing.

its always nice to vent out rage regarding streams dying, regardless of what is causing to to crash/die (shitty net, streamer sucks, restreamer has crappy net) .. its perfectly understandable .. its because youre a fan and you love the game .. people who say that "its not your right .. blah blah blah" should be aware that every people has an opinion to say and its not like what the OP said is destructive ..

perfectly understandable OP 5/5
Religion is a dying idea .. || 'E-sport' outside Korea are nerds who wants to feel like rockstars. || I'm not gonna fuck with trolls on General Forum ever again .. FUCK!

I must say that this season has been very smooth up to the Jinro vs Rainbow match. I'm using the free stream and it is telling me I have 300k bandwidth to Korea but everything is super fine this time around somehow...
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.

Well instead of raging, you can always pay for a better stream and use the money to improve future games.

Back in the day, the only way to get live English Starcraft commentary was to get on ventrilo with Klazart and spend half your time trying to sync your constantly rebuffering stream to his.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.
