The preliminary rounds of Season 3 were held for two days on Nov. 15th and 16th. A lot of people gave their best to try to qualify and after many competitive matches the final 64 players for GSL Season 3 have been determined. This Season we have 5 foreign players in Ro64 and there are 24 Terran, 12 Protoss, 27 Zerg and 1 Random player for this Season.
We noticed that a lot of people are requesting to see the games of the Preliminary Rounds to see how the players qualified or disqualified. So we will provide the game VODs of the GSL Season 3 Preliminary Rounds.
Gisado will select about 50 games from the Preliminaries and broadcast these games throughout a 3 day period. We will upload the VODs of these broadcasts on our Season 3 website, which will be opened later today.
Please understand that the broadcast is in Korean and since we broadcast the replays of each games the quality maybe a bit lower than our usual VODs.
To watch these VODs does not require any Season tickets and will be available for free just by signing into our website. The VODs will be available until the start of GSL Season 3, so the VODs will be deleted on Nov 22nd along with the comments under each VOD.
We hope a lot of you can enjoy the great games from the GSL Season 3 Preliminary Rounds.

The main rounds of the GSL Open Season 3 will begin Nov. 22nd and the Finals are scheduled on Dec. 18th. It will surely be another highly competitive tournament.

Well that's good to hear, cause I took a look at the first pairing and went "Wtf?"

Only 12 Protoss... are there just not many top tier toss players atm?

The list on our website of the Ro64 qualifiers are in order of qualification and is not the Ro64 brackets. We are sorry for the confusion. The brackets are currently being made and will be posted as soon as it is done.

Thanks for posting the schedule GOMTV.
Last season I purchased a season ticket but was unable to watch any GOM service due to constant buffering and dropping out.
I have 2Mbps connection in Australia, and have no problem watching other streams at higher bitrates.
To put it simply, last time I purchased the season ticket, I was unable to use it.
The HQ stream only worked for about a few seconds, the SQ stream would work, but buffer constantly, then stop playing after about 2 minutes.
I hope you can improve your service to Australia as I do wish to buy the Season ticket and contribute to GOM, but by principle cannot pay for a service which I know I will not be given.
Do you have any comment about the issue with stream lagging, which might encourage me to buy a season ticket now.
|
Big thanks to gomtv for providing these VODs, have to say, they are doing a pretty good job of placating the foreign hordes these days. Much thanks!
|
i am definitely buying the season pass then, even if barely any toss qualified. awesome that they listen to the community!
|
Dear GOMTV,
Thank you for broadcasting the GSL3 prelim VODs.
But...
Could you please release a replay pack of the 50 games?
This would allow our plethora English commentators to cast and analyze the games.
Would love to see day9 stick his teeth into some of them.
I know Koreans are hesitant about handling and releasing replays, but it would be much appreciated.
|
great news. replays would be good but korean tournaments never release replays and its still amazing that they will do this for us
does anyone have any updates on gisados stream? i know he was trying to implement english into his website but it wasn't functioning for a while

Lol, you must have not been around for Broodwar. There's no way replays are coming out.
|
Thank you for doing this GOMTV.
And yeah, there will not be any replays. This is professional play, the last things players want is their play being investigated by their opponents. Have been like this since the BW days
|
Much thanks to GOM for for doing this, must have seen how many of us were breaking our f5 buttons on the qualifier threads. Never thought I'd have an adrenaline rush from a live report thread.
|
I have found the stream mostly unwatchable from Australia, though I can watch the LQ stream without jumping if I am lucky. I mostly pay to get the VODs though because I'm rarely able to just sit around watching it live anyway, I watch them when I get a chance randomly.
Also 720P is awesome :D
Would be really nice if there was some way to fix routing to Australia though, I've watched the finals for both GSL's live and put up with the stuttering, would be nice to watch this third one without the frustration.

I have a 6 Mbps connection and live in Australia.
After following some of Season 1 with a friend and purchasing a one day pass for the final I decided to purchase a ticket for Season 2. I am all for putting money into e-sports but honestly, your stream is the most terrible stream I have come across on the internet for a long time (especially since I paid for it...)
I could not stream the HQ ever and half the time the SQ stream lagged / buffered to the point where it was unwatchable. Also the quality of the "High Quality" stream was not even that high.
Can you please provide some comment on improving the experience for people like me and others in the thread that paid for your service in the past (and want to continue paying) but have been disappointed with the stream so far.
Thanks you.

I'm from NZ and the stream is brilliant. Pay more money and get a better internet provider, because it's not their fault.

Can't seem to find any vods on any of the links they posted in OP..
edit: Apparently they are waiting for some guy to cast them

I'm from AU and also have the same problem on a 12mbit connection as does my friend in Tokyo who has a 100mbit connection, so it is their problem.

Newsflash: there is a difference on stream availability dependent on your location.
For example, during the last finals, the European streams (both HQ and SQ) did not work at all. You can bet this wasn't the case everywhere. I'm afraid they're cutting down resources where they please so they can keep up the quality for Korea / US / ... wherever they have more customers to please.
This has nothing to do with your provider as long as you meet the requirements, obviously, to stream 1Mbps for VOD's and 512kbps for the livestream.
I also experienced serious issues with the stream (especially the HQ) while I can watch the VODs in HQ without any problem (I have a 12Mbps line). There is a significant difference between the loading of some VODs in comparison to others, which makes me believe they also set up different resource availability dependent on the amount of requests for each.

I find it odd that they plan to delete it right before the tourney starts. I don't see how there'll be enough time to watch them all before the 22nd.

It says you can only watch this video from within Korea. Also, the message on the front page of the gomtv site says the vods will be up "later today"

Yay! Gotta love the quick turnover. I'll be getting another premium pass. Here's hoping to stream upgrades every season (hopefully by season 7 there's full 1080p streaming at 2mbps and free popcorn!)

Holy balls the season 3 marine is weird looking. Nevermind stream updating this season, please make that thing not haunt my dreams T.T

At least we'll have some Korean action to watch for the next week

wow prtoss really fealing the hurt.. well I guess its time to switch to zerg.

oh man, definitely gonna buy a season 3 ticket. too many liquid players in the tournament to not want to miss any games. hopefully people will chill with all the spoilers. hate reading spoilers before being able to watch the vod.
and i wonder, who else is gonna buy the season ticket?

btw, there are about 20 videos up now, including Nada, Hyperdub, Moon, syj,

Yeah, great job with the VODs of prelims coming up, gogo GOMTV!
no problem opening the VODs for me at least.

Wow awesome, allowing access to all the ones released.

I'm happy to see this is free. GomTv, you're awesome

SO great! Thanks GOM! You are the bestest. Now just make sure to show all the Liquid games, especially Ret!

mad props to GOMTV . Im watching Moon's series now

the schedule - Ro64 in 4 days, 8 matches a day again - wow that's going to be insane

Any word on when the brackets will be going up?

I doubt Gisado knows the foreigners. So unless he wants to sit through all 64 final bo3 games to sort out the good ones, he probably will just pick the famous players.

Nice to see they're free as well

Wow GOM, this is really impressive. If it wasn't for you guys the StarCraft scene would only be 1% as exciting and content-filled as it is.
|
I would love to see them post LiquidHuk final match so we can see how close he was to making it.
Also Incontrol last match to see how close he was.
Both were 2-1 so they would be good to watch.

He does seem to be sorting out the 3 game ones as they should be closer (who cares about casting an easy 2-0 really) he may get to a foreigner that way lol.

Good point. But that means we won't see Ret's games. LOL. I believe he 2-0's everyone. I think Idra did too.
I'm also hoping Gisado will show some popular players who didn't make it to the RO64 (Tester, Inca).

Thanks for letting us know here at TL.net. It's much appreciated (and this is coming from a premium ticket holder for seasons 1 & 2).
