What bloody idiots.

Trying to kill BW and then they want to charge us for the aftermath.

This is what happens when corporate America tries to do e-sports.

What a disgrace.

I dont get it, you'd have 10x more amount of viewers if you'd ask like 5$ just for the event.

I would have payed then, but 20$ for a month is 2 much :S

and more viewers => more sponsors .... ?

BW provided us with years of free spectating (including for korean fans at live venues). Blizzard tries to kill it to try to replace it with a lesser game (much more boring to spectate) and a league that costs more than cable to watch? so much for the "esports vision" they were BSing about (as if the bnet 2.0 shit, no lan and segregated realms weren't enough).

Fuck no.

I pay for the internet, so I would like a free stream.

If they put it on TV, just saying if, then you would hafta pay for cable... but starcraft wouldn't be fuckin pay-per-view.

Right?

I agree. Moopie said it right; "costs more to watch than cable." Their audience would be enourmous if it were free, and it seems the ad revenue could more than justify a free stream. At least do what MLG does and give the option to upgrade quality for a fee, but don't force your viewers to pay for a stream that should be free.

Nope, don't have the money. Would probably buy it if I did, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

Im indifferent about this. Warcraft 3 is still alive and is for me the most entertaining game to watch as it is now (Action-packed is just the surname). SC2 is just a side-kick. And I'd never ever ever ever pay for a stream. Ever
