Haha. My thoughts exactly.

I assume that it's only a slice from a larger list, with the rest of the list being whited out (assuming the image is real).

Nevertheless, this still seems like a rather anti-climatic revelation in this string of events. It only raises more questions than it answers, and I'm like "wtf, lol."

The plot thickens... somewhat.

LOL gom really nice there

Honestly it wouldnt surprise me at all, if you were in gom's position and you needed your company to survive it would only make sense to shut down every single BW stream out there

Zooming in on the gomtv logo you can see the blur is different as the other pixels. My conclusion The logo is fotoshopped in. Blur should be almost constant across the screen but you can clearly see a rectangle where the GOMTV logo was edited.

May I present to the jury exhibit B

Incontrovertible proof that Grobyc infringed on the rights of one Gretech Corp.

Yeah I picked up on that too. Looks suspicious, but it still doesn't even prove anything as it is. I'm rolling on the floor laughing here :>

That is conclusive, there is no question about it. I'm so disappointed in you grobyc, i thought of you highly, i am disgusted that you have streamed GOM content.

Incontrovertible proof. There is no denying it.

Really now? I could do a better job of putting the logo in with MSPaint. Such a complete joke by GOMTV.

If you take a screen shot of a vod and zoom in the logo does the same pixelization. My guess is because it is a rectangle done with a transparent layer so it looks like it was photoshopped because it is a photoshopped layer with some transparency. Either way that is a weak screenshot.

SO it is either GOMTV screenshotting their own VOD. Or grobyc was watching a VOD with his stream on ? Either way gotta agree that it is a weak screenshot giving no proof whatsoever. They say they make screenshots. Well i want to see a screenshot of the entire browser with the livestream window, adress bar, time and everything. This picture was like 200-350 pixels or something. If you take a normal screenshot it should still have the ammount of pixels of your screen.

That's not a screenshot really, it's scaled down so much DX. A screenshot should be the size of the screen lol. Alt + Print Screen would easily give a way better resolution picture, so I still haven't seen much proof at all. Nice picture they made though, I'm glad they showed me some probes mining on Scrap Station.

While I'm certainly not siding with GOM on this as anyone who's watched my stream can attest, I would like to point out one thing. No other BW streams have been shut down by GOM except Grobyc's. If they really were executing some evil plan to eliminate all BW streams, wouldn't they have reported several other (if not all) of the regular/high-profile BW streamers?

And yes, WTF is that image O_o

Okay update, I finally got a PM from GOMTV today asking for my email address so send the screenshot.

This is what they sent me:

LOL AHAHAAHAHAH ARE YOU SERIOUS? That's the fucking size they sent me too. I can't even make out a fucking livestream logo in the picture LOL, nonetheless any proof that it would have been my stream if they did. The grobycsstarcraft print on there was obviously added manually after the "screenshot" was taken along with those other numbers for reference; they don't tell us anything about the actual screenshot. I rest my fucking case, if this is the best they've got I'm 100% content.

It's kind of ironic that Gretech/GomTV out of all companies are charging large fees on MBC/OGN to ensure that broadcasters are of significant quality and are willing to put in the work when they do shit like this (and the entirety of GSL, but that's okay, GSL is going to die in Korea anyway).

SS looks weird, yes, but I'm still not buying the "GOM has a personal vendetta against me and will go as far as photoshop SS to stop me".

They didn't close a single BW stream before/after, so let's get the "oh noes, they're after my precious BW" out of the way.
It's either
a.) Out of a bunch of people that had access to streaming rights fucked up (very likely)
b.) GOM fucked up (maybe, but up until now if they made a mistake they admitted and apologized, so I prefer to believe that's not it. Especially now after they released a SS (anyone seriously thinking a company as big as GOM would go as far as photoshop a SS over some dude on the internet should get himself checked))
c.) GOM has personal vendetta (probably it!!)

Also livestream admins aren't stupid. They most likely have means to check logs and such. If they felt like this SS was enough of a proof, then it probably was, no matter how it looks to others.

TL;DL: rofl @ GOM bashers.

where the hell are you getting that from? I clearly said in my last reply to you I didn't feel that. Did you even read that post? You may find it likely my admins broadcasted GSL on my stream, but you don't even know how. How can you claim that? I know them all very well and I find it unlikely.
