Winner takes home 40 million won, that's about the same prize for the OSL first place if I'm not mistaken.
Will be a great season, looking forward to the matches. And we can finally download high-definiton VOD's that's sweeet.

Now noone can say "Bisu only lost because he didn't practice, noone cares about this tourney anyways"
|
Thats great
|
thanks, tasteless. Do you have access to a full players list/brackets, yet?
|
Thanks man, cant wait to see Idra in action ^^
PS: please dont flame on a live match Idra!
|
Yay! Thanks for sharing tastless! :D
|
Tasteless, I just wanna know what happened to the earlier 256/128 games. Did fewer players participate this season, or did GOM do those games without broadcasting them?
|
Are all teams participating this time? I remember in season 2, MBC and OGN did not.
|
gogo Nick and SUPERDANIELMAN (Dont forget lilsusie! :p)
|
This is gonna be BoxeR's first individual leauge since his departure from the Airforce. So awsome.
|
|
|
Sounds good can't wait to see BoxeR play and also will be nice to see a live game of Idra.
|
Boxer vs idra finals, called it here first

I assume you mean high-quality and not high-definition right? wouldn't make much sense going HD since SC is 640x480.

yeah they mean high quality, though GOMTV always uses the words HD because it so popular nowadays to just say HD and increase your viewership. They claimed that the premium live stream would be in HD when it wasnt even close to HD. I wonder if they upgraded the quality of the normal stream back to its original state before premium existed.
|
Speaking of HD, it must look crazy good.
Even if it isn't pure HD.
I mean if its pure 640x480 without any compression or whatnot, it will look so great.

I watched every vod mainly because you are such a good caster. It's great to soon have that back for a whole new season!

That's why Bisu wen't on and won the last season;)

<3 you too tasteless
|
Thanks Tasteless. HD downloads with be sweet.
Gogo Idra!
|
Is SKT participating? I would assume boxer would get a televised match if they were, and they don't mention Bisu as one of of the seeds.

Yeah, under those conditions it should look exactly like starcraft does in-game. good enough for me.
Here's the problem: Starcraft uses 8-bit color. If they broadcast this in 8-bit color, that'll be 8 bits per pixel. 640x480 pixels = 307200 pixels per frame, making each frame a size of 300 kB. Video generally runs at 30 frames per second. Average game length is about 15 minutes, so each game would consist of 27000 frames, each at 300 kB, making the uncompressed video file somewhere around 7.72 GB. If they use a larger color space, it'll be more, longer games will be larger, obviously, and this is just the video, this isn't even including audio. Lossy codecs can get that down to several MB, around a thousand times less space. It's just impractical to download uncompressed videos at *any* resolution, since 640x480 isn't particularly high.

Tasteless, do you know if everything is ok with the Kespa sanction this time? Last season it was said that it wasn't a Kespa official tournament because it had already started when Kespa approved the tournament. What about this season?

|
Are they losing money or something?

It's up at the GomTV site (with a few mistakes...):
http://www.gomtv.net/classics3/news/match_list.php
Damn... We have Movie vs JD and Effort vs Flash...
(but it feels weird that Flash has to face someone else before facing Effort...)
|
Wow.  IdrA had very beatable seeds,  815 and RorO. good luck to him
|
Ya, USD$50 is a bit pricey. I'm debating whether I should pay.
If it was USD$20, I would've signed up without hesitation. I don't actually care about being able to download HQVODs, I just want the premium stream without lag or drops.
USD$50 is like CAN$60 for 1 night of TV a week.
|
lololol
What's with the old pic? Doesn't he have short hair now?
|
Looking forward to seeing IdrA play
<3 gom and it's commentators

If Tossgirl wins her games, she plays Jaedong lolol

* Each ticket is only usable in the channel it was intended for
What does that mean? Can I sign in from different locations as long as I only sign in from 1 spot at a time? For example, if I bought this and went to a TL Starcraft LAN, could I use my ticket to watch with the guys?

GOM Season 2 was Kespa sanctioned, I thought.

Hm, yeah, there seem to be a lot of errors in that bracket, at least in the seeds. The non-seeds seem right.
(On a related note, how in the world is Flash not a seed?)

Flash is a seed (Or at least he probably is). Lucifer and Flash have the same name and same team so I assume they have them swapped places by accident.
|
This is even worse than season 2. Only 8 out of 12 teams are participating, I don't think we can say the winner is legit.
|
is one of the Tempest's supposed to be Hyuk for the same reason? And why is neither Tempest P? Hope they fix it soon.

Ah, that would make a lot of sense, and also explain that "T" next to Lucifer's name.

The high def vods sounds great! Thanks to GOM once again for adapting perfectly to the needs of the audience.

Idra's a B-teamer, and 815 and Roro are both A-teamers who make frequent appearances in real games. Define "beatable." =\

I guess the 'very' was a little overboard. But out of everyone he could have been seeded against, those are pretty good draws.

no SKTI, MBC, OGN is a bit sad.
maybe this is an example of what Susie was referring to the "politics" of esports in her blog entry.
|
I don't think $50 is worth it for the premium service. :-\
|
$50 isn't bad for the amount of hours of content you will get, but the DRM ties you to GOMPlayer. That's a dealbreaker for me.
|
Will this be Idra's first televised match?

Good point. Replace Bisu with Jaedong/Stork/Firebathero/JangBi/Tossgirl/Much/GanZi/whatever in that case :p

What?? no Bisu, Boxer, Light, Leta....
|
really sucks not having the current gom champion and possibly the new OSL champion in it...
I was kinda expecting to see OGN and MBCGamehero join this now as well instead theyre still not in it and SKT T1 suddenly not in it anymore as well... but then again having 3 individual leagues is quite a bit more stress so I guess its pretty understandable.
Anyways looking forward to this
|
I love you....
Thank you for posting!!!
|
Really rooting for Idra now! It would be so nice to see him win a live match. GOGO!

I actually think the GOMPlayer is the best video player I've used. It's much prettier than VLC.

Ok, how come is it not possible to download the HQ vods anymore? The freakin' download button is missing. Anyone actually able to download recently? I used to be able to download vods but not anymore. 
Edit:
Jesus!
Apparently you have to list the vods via this url:
http://www.gomtv.net/classics3/vod/
If you try to list them via http://www.gomtv.net/videos/, you can't see any download button.
Crappy design of the webpage. Well, at least dan och nick does a great job casting, which is the most important thing I suppose.

GOMPlayer looks nice but I actually like Daum Player best for functionality (even though it's in Korean).
