Gom is the reason why SC2 failed in Korea, they are the counter example of doing things right.
And about the vods, you can request, but don't complain like a little girl.

It'd be "spoiled" if they were doing us a favour by broadcasting these matches. Much as they try to present it that way, they're not. We're doing them a favour by watching. They want us to watch them since they want viewers for sponsorship purposes and advertisement and so on, and to buy subscriptions and things like that to make them money.
Times have changed since your good old BW days. E-sports is international and highly commercial now. And the major businesses involved need to compete and be attractive to customers. Simply saying "well it used to be even harder in the olden days" isn't going to make people turn around and go "you're right, I should totally put up with this thing I don't like because of that". They're just going to go and find a better product. And considering GOM is almost a textbook example on how to do a lot of this right as well as being the preeminent tournament in SC2...thats pretty stiff competition.

Man, SC2 fans are so spoiled. Back in the BW days, when I browsed youtube links, I will try to cover part of my computer screen to click links to avoid seeing how many games and who's up in next game.

I'd second this. It's easy enough to link to a time in a twitch vid. Keep the matches together. Those weekend games are at 4am for us in europe. Too late even for night creatures like I.

By the way, HUGE complaint, just noticed it now. I see in the VOD section on Twitch, you've split the matches into sets, which instantly reveals the number of sets played, which is a gigantic spoiler. It even shows how long each set lasts! I'm actually kind of astonished TL would allow such a thing. Either leave the sets uncut, or link to them on the TL homepage somehow so we can avoid spoilers.

Might want to explain that before you make silly statements like that.
