Very nice and easy to use. This idea is still stupid but I guess it's worth noting. | ||

I doubt it has Linux support either, VLC really is superior in every way... that's really offtopic though. Can't believe their HQ stream is 640 x 360 (16 : 9) | ||

These videos are actually of a sc2 game not a commercial so you can get a better idea. GOMtv.net sample videos I also noticed this: "VOD ticket will be valid even the season over (Once you buy it, you can watch VODs whenever you want.)" on this page here LOL low quality is absolutely unwatchable, I wouldn't even watch it if they paid me. High quality maximized becomes low quality in that tiny box. GOM media player is one of the worst media player ever made. | ||

However, for GSL all streams and VODs will be charged. There will be two versions, a high quality one and a low quality one. You can choose depending on your computer and internet performance. Rage.  | ||

Hahahaha the "standard" stream is shit and low quality, and the "high quality" stream is clear as long as you leave it unmaximized in a tiny box. If you maximize it the thing will be blurry. Anyone think they had a free low quality stream and premium standard stream ready to go, but then re-labeled them to extract more money from the suckers? Yeah not so great. All the Star2Gether VODS are 720... what gives. | ||

To be frank, i probably wouldnt pay this tournament particular mind unless i was actually paying for a stream. I couldnt fathom paying either, not at these prices which are more expensive than NBA league pass, which blackouts televised games in Canada that arent televised, and it would still be a better deal than snorecraft 2 ~. | ||

It's not very hard to pirate this stuff nowadays =P Hopefully djWHEAT/TorcH can work something out. TorcH's popularity would fucking skyrocket if he pulled this off ^_^ All we can do is hope, I guess. ;/ | ||

Would be really intrestnig to hear Tasteless and Artosis opinions about this, maybe they could help to forward the foreigner communtys view on the issue, altough Gom is their employer. I only wish that all the 60 pages of complaining about this was posted on Goms forum, each one of us should go there and post a well manered thread about that the pricing at least should be put on a resonable level. | ||

The free streams from MLG were better than the high quality one. I'd be willing to bet that it won't stream so nicely during actual games when many people are watchi... oh wait, it actually might stream nicely with only ~150 people watching. | ||
