it will come out like that: 50$ (stream+vods) ~ 20viewer 10$ (stream+vods) ~ 200viewer 5$ (stream+vods) ~ 2000view obviosly a way lower price would have been better, a free stream should produce 50k viewer easy! good luck with ur first fail season ... just hope kespa will be able to win the interest conflict with gom | ||

It feels more to me that they failed to do their research properly, and they're caught in situation where they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. Maybe they should've been a bit more conservative about the whole enterprise to start off with, as all the hype that was built up looks to bite them back doubly hard. I highly doubt that - the announced prizes are so high, you can't do that without 3rd-party-financing ;everybody who has remote experience in the finance-sector knows what that means: there's just no way you can get this amount of money without a proper business plan; there's just no bank that would go like "ohh...you wanna make a sc2-tourney and need a couple hundred thousand bucks to pull it off....well....yeah, sure, why the hell not" | ||

I realy dont understand that you have to purchase VOD's and livestream seperatly, you shoud get both if you pay. Especialy since many people wont be able to watch all the livestreams considering the time its being broadcast. I know alot of people in here just want a free stream, but honestly i dont mind paying. But the current product they plan on providing is just too expensive concidering what you get. Sure hope they take all the complaints into concideration, and lower the price or provide a free stream instead... | ||

Turns out the only plan Blizz had was to turn the whole thing over to a bunch of fuck-ups and then leave them alone to fuck it up. I'm officially an ex-fanboy.  | ||

When I saw the original announcement of GSL with the enormous prizepools and the great casters I was so excited. I thought it was really happening, that it was in good hands.

I posted a thread on the NA SC2 battlenet forums to stir up some rage. Pretty frustrating stuff. | ||

I really hope someone will pirate stream the GSL, because that is what they deserve for pulling of something like this. | ||

That way they don't have to stream to the majority of the watchers (their servers won't overload again) while making money of the people that actually buys it to re-stream or have good routing to Korea. they won't be able to attract big companies for advertisement for following tournaments though | ||

There's no way a company that is struggling would have been able to acquire the rights. They wouldn't be able to pay and I'm sure Actiblizz wouldn't be putting their property in such unreliable hands. If you believe this then I have some snake oil to sell you. As to the illegal thing, I'm pretty sure rebroadcasting OGN and MBC is technically illegal. The internet doesn't give a fuck. I don't see anyone not tuning in because of moral qualms. I like the idea that we foreigners have the money to bail out gomtv and we can afford to pay 50 a month on a relatively small amount of entertainment, really I do I wish it was even remotely true, cause then I would have a lot more money then I do have. When the broad cast for next season maybe they will see that they have absolutely no foreign viewers and will decide to make it a free stream supported by advertising. Of course they might just stop doing any english content for it and that's that. | ||
