 I'm just glad it doesn't seem like they deliberately targeted BW streams as some people were preaching. Sloppy mistake from poor research but the ban seemed to really be for GOM SC2 content, not BW. | ||

I did stream some GSL only in the first season, not the second as well, BEFORE they requested that the restreams stop. Once they did that I never touched it again. I only streamed the first couple days of season 1 until they gave the public warning. There's no chance that small streaming period is the result of this. I didn't even tune in to GSL long enough to watch the season one quarterfinals. | ||

On the bright side, the HQ Stream and VODs for the GSL World Championship and Team League are all free and are definitely worth checking out. Also, there are many ways of obtaining VODs should you choose to not buy a subscription... I myself have shared rapidly quite a torrential amount of files. And the free-stream isn't so bad once you get used to it. Other than that, hopefully this event will blow over as just one big huge misunderstanding, though we should still remember it next time another BW-streamer gets taken down. | ||

Stream quality itself is okay. However, the content puts me to sleep. | ||

I don't know how much the game quality has improved as people are learning the game, but the game itself just doesn't really interest me. I watched every single game in the first GSL season and a few in the second, and there was ONE single game that held my interest entirely. And I don't even really remember all the details anymore; just know that it was with TLO, and I'm pretty sure it was a TvT with some sick nukes from TLO. I haven't really followed any of the leagues since then, but I've checked out the occasional game when I had nothing else to do, of if someone really recommended it... and even those highly recommended games bore me to death. For me, the game just doesn't hold the awe factor that BW has; even if Jaedong, Flash, etc were to transfer over to the game, I still probably wouldn't enjoy it. | ||

It's mostly a matter of taste, really. I enjoy both SC2 and BW, though I can understand the reasons why some people do not like one or the other. Nevertheless, the level of play has improved tremendously since GSL1, and it is continuing to improve and is also starting to gravitate towards more BW-esque play, especially with the introduction of newer, larger maps. If you ever get curious about the SC2 scene from time to time, then it's safe to say that the pool of entertaining matches is growing in size and quality. And even if the entertaining SC2 games don't interest you, at least the wonders of Tastosis should continue to provide tons of humor. The Tastosis highlight vids on Youtube are pure comedy gold, though they don't necessarily include every hilarious joke they make during the casts. Seriously, Tastosis can make any game seem entertaining, even Warcraft 3. | ||

Seriously, Tastosis can make any game seem entertaining, even Warcraft 3. Yeah, I imagine the games will get more entertaining as they go along. And as far as Tastosis goes... >_> I liked the first couple seasons of GOM, but the last BW season was starting to get on my nerves as far as casting went, with the frequent plugging. From what I've heard (though I haven't experienced it first hand) the games have even more corporate plugging (didn't so much mind the Handsome nerd plugs, but I don't think I'd feel the same.. but like I said, I haven't experienced it myself, so I don't know how bad it is.) I still respect the work they've put into the scene over the years, and I liked their casting at one point, but I'd probably take Day9/Chill 100% of the time. | ||

Ow yeah Billeh, I applaud you for finding that, lol GomTv is just randomly pulling images out of their....magic hat it seems. As for SC2 Maps improve. a step in the good direction, but nevertheless the distinct lack of micro is still offputting. I personally watch SC2 halfheartedly, if its on I might watch it, if not I wont bother. I don't get up at odd korean times to watch SC2, but I do to watch BW At first I actually thought some of the GTSL games were good, but then I started thinking about it and it was really like..... its not really impressive(not to me anyway). Its just not my cup of tea I suppose. | ||

The only thing bugging me about justin.tv is that we aren't supposed to be allowed to play our own music while streaming o.O . I guess it's not that bad since I usually just game with my own music anyway, but I'll be damned if the account gets locked from the rare time I do ~_~ thats for producers. they dont seem to enforce that on regular streamers, just the people getting $$ from advertising. | ||
