![[image loading]](http://res.heraldm.com/content/image/2014/02/14/20140214000716_0.jpg) Gretech announced that Gomtv and Wemakeprice have signed an MOU for a marketing partnership. The partnership will start with sponsoring Gom Calssic Season 4. Gom exp android app will be the one and only broadcast platform for the tournament, and otherwise, fans need to watch VODs which will be uploaded three days later. wemakeprice is a social commerce company, aka "위메프".

afreeca actually gets a lot of mobile viewers, but I thought part of that for sonic was that anyone could join the main channel via mobile but there were the slot limits on the PC viewers (hence why sonic would have like 5 channels of 600 people for broadcasts). That was a few months ago. Still, I have to imagine most mobile viewers are not watching a whole 2-3 hour broadcast on their phone, even if the raw numbers for mobile viewers sometimes look pretty good. | ||

Why couldnt GOm just use their GOMplayer, they use for starcraft 2? If they want to avoid mainstream options like twitch that bad.  | ||

The culture over there actually loves watching things on their phone, in Korea you can buy phones that come with TV on them, and if you remember John's talk about how the shift towards mobile phones had hurt the growth if sc2, etc. I'm actually not surprised at this move by GOM, and I think you all need to take a step back and recognize it's not so bad. The tech industry is really pushing mobile right now, so lots of people are trying to get their audiences to convert and get product loyalty early on. | ||

But he definitely has a point. Dont know about other place but like 99% of the Koreans in my firm use a Galaxy device, and so does their wives & kids (it's weird that cellphones are strictly Samsung but monitor/tv are LG). And then there're popular brands which adopt android like LG or Pantech SKY. GOM must be targeting something, they aint so dumb when it comes to their domestic audience. Meanwhile, I find this move rather interesting as Ive been watching tons of twitch on my phone these days because it's simply convenient (at work, on the bed, in toilet etc.). Plus it's nice to see iPhone users being salty once in a while | ||

Yes, and telling a country that uses technology differently than your country "pretty dumb" is elitist bullshit, but lets just call a spade a spade shall we. GOM is trying to make their Korean fans happy, if Foreign fans made them money they'd be willing to help them too. But its obvious a Korean company would focus more on Korean practices than it does non-Korean practices. | ||

I feel I sound like an idiot asking these questions, but I think we've received so little information regarding this tournament I just need to ask other people. Can't find a schedule, can't find anything. If there is some kind of tournament site for this, link me to it, because I can't find shit. I don't understand why there isn't atleast a little more advertisement on the gomtv site but whatever. | ||

If you want to watch it live, you need to download their app. There are ways of using their app on a PC, so you can watch it on a PC, and then link the PC to a state of art projector able to light up a 900 square foot wall so you can tail gate while watching SC2 The only thing limiting it to a user's phone is laziness. However, if you do feel justifiably lazy, you can also watch it on Twitch where GOM broadcasts all their other free content. I don't think GOM will suddenly make a partnership with MySpace and simply post 10,000 gif snippets of the matches each day. | ||

So much for growing the scene. BW really needs to be more growth-focused. | ||

The tech industry is really pushing mobile right now, so lots of people are trying to get their audiences to convert and get product loyalty early on. Sure that's the beauty of Koreans being able to take advantage of using the DMB to watch tv anywhere you are. You don't need 3g,4g, different flavors of LTE or even wifi to watch live tv like the rest of the world. You can even watch live tv in a taxi if a DMB antennae is fixed on the car. So I can understand this is what they need to do for their domestic market. The problem this causes for a global broadcasting company, like gom, is that their content doesn't reach their entire audience that buys passes and adds to their overall viewership. It's like after all these years of support we've given them they are slapping us in the face and saying the foreign market isn't important enough. They should do both and broadcast with no blackouts. Seems like they are going full retard with this to me and you never want to go full retard. | ||

Still, money is involved. Maybe that'll impress enough simple types to get them watching anyway. I suppose the viewing issue will be much less of a problem for people actually in Korea, because a larger portion of them would actually choose andriod supporting devices, right? | ||

It will only suck if someone doing BW news on TL doesn't have the sense to keep spoilers off the front page. I admit I don't understand why GOM would want to do it this way from their own perspective, but it's at worst mildly inconvenient and realistically what I was going to do anyway. I have an android phone and I'm not going to bother installing I random app lol. I'll just wait for the VODs on the youtube account. | ||

OUR LAZY ASSES didn't even necessarily know that the app works on PC without fancy work arounds. You know they could have easily said in that little press release that the app is PC compatible. It's their stupidity that brought all this drama. Seriously I'm completely okay with having to use a program of their choosing on my PC to watch, but in the press statement they made it seem as if it's android exclusive. | ||

You know they could have easily said in that little press release that the app is PC compatible. It's their stupidity that brought all this drama. Seriously I'm completely okay with having to use a program of their choosing on my PC to watch, but in the press statement they made it seem as if it's android exclusive. cmon guys, let's not fight over this lol. You both present valid points. GOM should've been more forward about the app and that you can watch it on your PC from the app but at the same time, if someone is still interested in watching, they would've at least download the program and given it a try to see what features are available. One of my first thoughts when I read this after 'why would they make it mobile exclusive?' was what if you can just watch it on your PC through your phone since I've been able to do it with some other devices in the past (wm 6.5 phone). I wouldn't expect everyone to know that you are able to do that but it's nothing to get riled up over imo although language could've been phrased better on Magpie's part I'll admit | ||

We were able to download the app and it says 2pm KST but we don't know who are playing. Does anyone have any update and is 2pm KST the correct time? | ||

Is there any way to translate at least some part of it inside the app? when watching stuff on gomexp app through bluestacks does your portrait mode works? mine goes into this weird seizure mode. might have something to do with my gfx I think | ||
