Wait what? How do you expect them to keep hosting awesome tournaments with high production value, without any money to support it? And do you think Esports would even exist if people would think that it's wrong to use games, including SC2 as an income? Paying for shit shows your appreciation and you support the company that is providing the service. Esports cant run on just passion. | ||

There is SO much good starcraft that we can watch for free, at a higher quality than even the GOMtv premium that people are perfectly entitled to feel put off by the price tag. And dont have a go at me, ive paid for all but 1 of the GOMtv seasons (yes haha im not getting this free ffs) and im a little annoyed at this. I dont have a problem with the $5 but I do with the fact that its compulsory if you want to watch. So im not going to watch it. | ||

no free stream is such a joke, how can you still take the GSL serious if their free quality on the the main tournament is awful and now they start making payment only tournaments. I guess Starcraft II really has a hard time in Korea if they need to take such actions. edit: oh and I know its only $5 which I can easily afford, I'm just not willing to pay to watch a Starcraft tournament when any other tournament/organization out there has a free stream running on proper quality. | ||

And they'll do very well with this, it will most likely be a high quality show as usual, well worth the measly $5, and frankly losing people like you leeching their bandwidth who will clearly never pay for anything is probably for the best. edit: this was aimed at Jakkerr is that so? For any healthy broadcasting organization, advertisement should be their main source of income, not memberships. As we all know, advertisement income gets generated by the amount of viewers and the amount of available companies that are willing to invest. If that isn't the case for GOM, which seems to be true otherwise they wouldn't do this, there is something majorly wrong with ur organization. That's why I'm worried GSL might have money problems. | ||

I am curious about who's casting, though. With such a great player lineup I really wish they'd get Tastosis to do it.. We'll see what happens. | ||

When people watch a tournament, even on the free stream, they are contributing by increasing the popularity of the show, which is what sponsors care about. | ||

I understand this, but gomtv's tournaments have been pretty firmly established now as the spotlight premier stacraft 2 leagues. If the free stream made them that much money, they'd have no reason not to offer it. They obviously want to move more towards a membership orientated business plan, at least with regards to fringe tournaments, and I hate to break it to you but they're popular enough to be able to do that. More to the point though, that doesn't change the fact that we all know it's worth the $5. | ||
