It's only 600kpbs quality, so if you can watch OGN on Corinthos/VLC, you can watch this.

finding a company that does not try to make a profit somehow is pretty hard..

not really there are plenty of non profit organisations, athough maybe company is a wrong description for them its basically the same...
fact is they should call it an investment rather than caling it donation and they should give you something in return... thats how it usually works -_-;
maybe tasteless and susie can work free for gom for the rest of their lives since they seem to dig the idea of donating ^_^

I thought HD needed far more than 600, kind of strange.

uh they're giving better quality stream in return?

streaming hi definition to everywhere in the world is costly as hell.

seriously if you donate to a company trying to make a profit from it (as tasteless and susie also said gom wants to get their player spread all over the world with this and not only limit it to progaming) i think thats rather foolish -_-
i think its rather dirty of GOM too to do it this way...

It's a donation because we don't want to have to charge you for higher quality casting. This is still in beta, we want to test it out to make sure that it will work later on when it's open to the general public.

On any website, they will have certain things available for free and to upgrade to something better, one must pay for it. So if you wish to donate, then do so. If you don't, then don't. But don't go slandering the reputation of a company that has brought you tournaments for free for over a year just because you feel that asking for a donation is shitty.

Man I remember when Mind was so badass, killing off Zergs on Bluestorm original and Tosses on Loki 2.

Now it looks like he died off or something

I wonder how much could different team help him. I mean, there is basically nobody on FOX on same or similar level. Nada could be really good, but there is no top toss or zerg to train with. I know progamers train with pros from other teams too, but that's not the same...

It's no coincidence that the strongest (strongest based on their results in individual leagues) progamers tend to be from teams like SKT1, Khan or Lecaf, where is a lot more competetive atmosphere. Look what the constant beating from JD did with forGG. He is a total beast vs Z and even destroyed JD 3:0 in MSL final, I doubt he would be able to do this being on another team with less competent zergs. It's also interesting how his vP went awfully down after Anytime left Lecaf (even JD's vP has looked shaky recently).

Maybe even Flash recent not-so-top performances in starleagues are results of this. When he won in GOM and OSL, he was practicing extensively with Stork...I don't know what about now...

Well looking from GOM's perspective however getting this done through donations is alot better since they can advertise with a HQ stream and give potential viewers a nicer stream as to where a HQ stream that needs a subscription will not likely attract new people.
It's just weird how the GOM spends so much money on prize money and staff and equipment/studio and then cannot afford some streaming...
Now I know TL has got some 'rich' ppl, but the majority is just normal and it's rather sad to see them pay for something GOM should be paying for and GOM will have advantage of as well.
If it was something that GOM had absolutely no advantage of I could see the need of donations, or if there would be no commercials on this stream, but im afraid that is not the case and thus I see this as quite a bad move.
They they bring this stream for free is not really something they do out of charity or love for the fans, it's something they do because of exposure and because they think it will make them money on the long run.
Anyway enough drama i guess, I felt like expressing my opinion since this isnt the first time things are presented as "for the community" while in reality i doubt they really are -_-;
