Also guys, don't bash them, setting up the event takes a lot of money not only are they giving out a lot of cash prizes but they are also renting studios paying commentators. There is a lot of cost going into running the torny. 50 dollars is less than many sport ticket and 150 games would give at least 60 hours of stuff buying livestream means you are basically paying less than 30 cents an hour. Of course, I would hope there would be no advertisement or not a lot of technical difficulty/lag that happened in past gom torny. | ||

Selling a stream that runs at 500Kbps and calling it HQ is a joke . | ||

They couldn't find anyone to pay for ads?? That's what happens when you're a chiefly Korean company trying to find foreign advertisers in a niche market for an internet stream. Especially miserly/poor ones like gamers, who can't barely even afford to pay for food, if what people are claiming here is true. Hopefully you can see why they would have a hard time selling their advertising slots, especially with how quick they are trying to push this tournament out. MLG/ESL provided a "free" stream, because people paid for it with their own bandwidth via octoshape--premium was done via octoshape too. While it may cost you nothing directly (unless you have a monthly cap), it doesn't cost MLG/ESL much either. I'd be a lot less offended by their prices if I didn't know they hired Korean popstars to perform at their events though. | ||

EDIT: It is not the concept of paying that pisses me off so much but the price is too high. I could pay but I feel like I can spend 50 dollars on something more worthwhile. | ||

Big letdown by GOM. Been so long since we had some great Tasteless casting and with the addition of Artosis it woulda been that much better | ||
