I do worry about Justin.tv bandwidth though. I have never not had problems with HD streaming sites even with my 20 mbps cable connection and a beastly computer. I even missed out on the Blizzcon HD stream, because they couldn't handle the load. I hope the A/V syncing issue is resolved soon too. The showmatch, the last few EG Master's Cups, and the recent Kings of Tin shows all had it. I do believe they are taking the NASL seriously as there is a lot of money, passion, and hair whipping being invested, so I have faith. Good luck guys! I'll be tuning in! | ||

If SQ is 480p, that's the max my web can handle, so no reason to get premium. Wow good point I did not think about this, I can't watch Justin in anything over 480p and I'm in the US with a 20 meg download internet. Hmhmhmhmhm. might not be worth my $20 if I can't use the HQ and I won't need the VOD's. Move me from the "buying a ticket for sure" to the "maybe if i can get Justin to work I'll buy it" category with that. | ||

It literally means NASL will select worse players over better players, which is a weird decision to make considering their ambitions and money that's put into it. Jinro, Huk, Tyler, Ret, TLO, Haypro - assuming for the sake of argument that they would all want to participate, remove just one name from the list and you will have a worse tournament lineup than you would have otherwise. Why? | ||

Now if you get every paid stream for 2011 you will pay: 9 Months of GSL with ads: $90 9 Months of NASL: $60 6 MLG Streams: $60 6 or so IEM streams: $60 So you are talking $270 to support all of these streams. That's actually a lot of $ for most people, even if the content/$ ratio is very high. I know I only will end up buying GOM, MLG, and NASL streams, should I also buy the IEM streams to "support espots" even though I have little interest in most of the IEM's or just catch the free stream? There is ESLTV Premium for 30€/year too ~ (+additional fees for special events like the upcoming CEBIT tournaments) | ||

Lets say i use those 20euro/dollar on buying a game i will play for more then 100hour. You can even get more with stuff like steam deals. The thing is, we don't know how good it will be hence why quite a few ppl will prolly watch the first season or month for free and THEN buy. To start complaining about ppl not wanting to use money on something we don't know if its worth only screams biassed as hell in my ears. Note, i am not saying it will not be worth it, but some ppl are cautious. I'm not comparing it with food per se. I'm saying that there are probably at least 10-20 ways for someone to cut $20 over 3 months out of their budget without it being a big deal. I was merely giving one example. If you really value your lunch so much, you can just not go to a bar once. That will probably cover 3-6 months of this by itself. Clearly there are plenty of reasons not to pay for the stream, and I'm not saying everyone should go buy the stream, as you seem to think I am saying. I'm just saying that people complaining about $20 are being ridiculous. | ||

Yet I can watch streams on Livestream, Ustream, GOM, and own3d with no issues. But Justin just freezes after about 2 seconds on anything higher then 480p. I had to watch one of the GCPL's in 240p ffs. | ||

I watch the VoDs cause staying up until 5am every night doesn't fit my schedule so maybe with the stream its different? idk. | ||

I can watch 1080p streams perfectly on my main rig while my netbook can't handle anything higher than 360p, on the same internet connection. | ||

I somehow do not think it's my computer... | ||

I'm going to for sure watch protoss matches that are recommended and of course, i'm going to try to attend the finals some time. My dad lives an hour out from Los Angeles, so that seems like a perfect excuse to come visit him, and go see some awesome top 16 action. Maybe not the first one since I'm moving to the east coast during June, and supposed to go to Walt Disney World in July, but I'll try to make it out there for one :D. Also. say the over 5 members prevents team members from participating, what's preventing them from forming a new "overflow" team, a team for people that are not chosen as part of their 5? If they are a part of 2 separate teams and then just promote their teams sponsors, but not their team name during NASL? I don't like the "limit" on players. What if one team is formed with the absolute 10 best players in the world, no question. Your going to tell 5 of the top 10 they can't play so the 25th through 40th best players can? | ||

To follow GSL I have to spend several hours a day to watch all the games, I am now pretty much watching protoss only games. If I didn't want to play SC2, or league of legends anymore, and wanted to devote all of my free time to SC2 watching it would be fine. But I don't think I can practically devote 4-5 hours a day to just watching NASL and GSL. Is anyone else worried about this? It might not be as huge if people have to choose, and have to divide their time.. It might take away from all the hype and back story, I personally might have to stick to watching game vods and skipping around instead of watching all the back story and interviews etc that this league wants to do.

I will definitely be buying this subscription. The quality of play probably won't be as good as the GSL, but I'm down for the cause of investing in western SC2 events. | ||
