EPTI'll do just fine with low quality... Give me a 5 pixel stream, when all you can see is a white dot for CC, red dot for hydra, blue dot for mineral patch, and I'll be happy as long as there's audio :-)

Whether thats the case or not(almost certainly not), I simply don't have the money for this, so GOM, which was my favorite over MBC and OGN, is now last as I am probably gonna watch it in Korean on youtube(which will remove its greatest feature - the commentary by super daniel man and tasteless) and it doesn't have some of the best players. I feel sad, because these look like the first steps down a path that leads to no english cast Starcraft games  | ||

The so called HQ stream is anything but HQ, I'm watching on a 32 Tv screen and I see NO difference whatsoever between the premium and the free stream. The premium strem wasn't stable for me, and no it's not lag due to bad connection or whatever it just randomly froze and I had to reconnnect again. It's funny how they locked the VODS for none premium users, why the hell would you want to download the VOD anyway? Epic Failure is eminent. | ||

That said everything else is just plain stupid. DRM? What? This is 2009, you just don't do that anymore. I'd be happy to pay for usable content, but DRM just kills it completely. Use open formats and a convenient distribution method and I'll pay. What's really sad about this whole thing is that GOM started so promisingly for foreign fans. If done right this could have been a huge success (financially too) but I predict total failure for this service now. Also, funny to see that they are still asking for donations. | ||

As a fun fact, I googled 'DMR' first (misspelled from DRM) and I got 'Department of Mental Retardation' as a hit.. How fitting. Anyway, I was looking forward alot to the GomTV Season 3 tournament, with it's main perk being the English commentary by Tasteless and Superdanielman. Well, as turns out, it will cost 50 USD to get the English commentary in HQ, and the normal VODs are delayed 3 days.. Way to kill the anticipation. I wouldn't mind watching normal VODs instead of HQ ones, but waiting 3 days is not an option, since there's spoilers everywhere ofcourse.. Bah! | ||
