Truly the cancer of "esports" and you morons just eat it up.
I understand I will get flamed and my post most likely nuked but this is the damn truth. Guess I'm just not important enough because I won't fork over all my money to GOM. Actually, paid content is something that is going to keep this industry alive. Basically sounds like you are just upset because you can't afford the price of a cheeseburger in order to watch a 10 hour++ tournament.. If it wasn't for GomTV, the entire korean scene as we know it probably wouldn't exist. Teams formed precicesley because of GomTV's SC2 tournaments... I'm perfectly fine with watching the dirt stream and I was perfectly happy to pay for gold membership to watch MLG because they don't force me to watch it on a crappy, Windows only propriety player. All they are doing is restricting viewership and essentially hurting ESPORTS. Ah, what's the point of arguing anyway, it's not like you'll see my logic with your blind fanboy-ism. Looks like I'll just be downloading the HD VODS from elsewhere as usual then Well that just threw all your logic out the window, nevermind about blind fanboy-ism, talk about doing something that is actually hurting esports. Or maybe you don't seem to see this similar as to downloading music/movies, not that everyone on the internet is a goody-two-shoes who has ever done anything that is illegal.....have they? You even have the guts to proclaim it. GOM refuse to cater the free market and I'm the one hurting "esports". Sure, good job. I guess your shit is better than mine because you pay.
They've been catering to the "free market" for over a year now with their free streams...

Can't help but think group A and C are infinitely more stacked than group B and D. Who and how were these groups assigned anyways?

This is the race distribution I want for Code S >.>. Ah well, now atleast I can still watch GSL 2 days per week.

I guess you didn't see my previous post so for the benefit of the doubt here it is again:

What a way to make a statement, making a new TL account just to post and flame GOM. I'm cheap bastard who hasn't paid for any of the GSL vods at all, just watching the free SQ stream, but I don't go around making new accounts on a forum just to attempt to flame GOM for something they have the right to control. I'm not happy that this event isn't free but hey, I'm the one who isn't prepared to shell out money to watch my favorite players play. This is GOM's tournament, they run it, its their money, they decide what to do with it. I have a right to dislike how it will be run but being a dick isn't helping esports. Thanks for being the cancer of esports Suigentoo.
and thanks. I guess i am doing a good job ^^.

They offer free content 6 days a week almost...

OMG Group A o_o
Cheering for BoxeR as always!
|
Nice that every group has each race.. and I only miss the first couple of seasons when the price was very high but I guess its only $5
Finally get to to see nestea vs mc. Shame there is no nada . And are people really complaining about $5 lol
|

Yeah, too bad that player skill, race choices and patch balances decide the racial distribution as opposed to a group of men (and probably a woman too) making picks on what they hope will work and forcing crap players into the league to make up the numbers.

All zergs are on top, then terran, then protoss. Seems like they just had 3 bowls with the race names and randomly picked 1 name out of each bowl.

an invitational. Not very GOM-esque. Still, I'm not complaining.

So which PBU were you?
As for the AOL, looks interesting but I wish the stream was free. I'm probably not going to pay for this one because it does add up and I don't have much time anymore. Too bad I don't get it free, only missed like one season =(
|
Yay free ticket, gonna look forward to this
|
Aw shit! This is going to be so much fun. That said; Trickster? Apparently GOM knows something I don't. But seriously, GOM knows a shit ton more than I do, so this just raised my opinion of Trickster by a lot. Really eager to see how DRG stacks up against top flight competition, particularly after Bomber wiped the floor with him at MLG.
|
wow 2 million won for this kind of tournament seems kind of small =\

ROFL.... No free stream ?! Not even the shitty quality stream we were getting from GOM ?
/facepalm ...
Bah, i hope i can find a way to watch it :/ So sad.
|
how can people complain about having to pay 5$?
6 days, AT LEAST 3 bo3's per day for group play, then 2 bo5s and a bo7 in the final, should add up to 20+ hours of content in HQ, which is cheap as fuck when compared to going to the movies, renting movies, buying movies, even compared to fucking satelite TV subscription..
only problem i see with this tournament is that Naniwa, and to a lesser degree trickster has been invited... trickster is atleast known in korea and has shown SOME results but naniwa? seriously? hasnt even won a single CODE A GAME, but keeps on getting "code a welfare invite"...
there are tons of protosses who are much better players than naniwa: Genius, Hongun, inCa, JYP, Puzzle, Sage, even tassadar

I would totally be watching this...If there was a free stream that played adds between every game. I know GOM is trying admirably to make a profit, but there is just so much free starcraft to watch out there, and I really can't justify paying for it. I still contend that making the top tournament in starcraft so inaccessible is crippling its popularity.
Personally, I find it disheartening that when GOM actually decides to broadcast a stream at a reasonable hour (really, how many people can stay up to 5 or 6 am watching starcraft?) they have the audacity to make this particular stream for purchase only. I love watching well run tournaments such as MLG, but have no future plans of watching GSL as long as they continue their current business plan.
