Besides, MKP, MVP and MMA have all won tournaments (albeit some overseas) and made it deeper into tournaments than NaDa ever has. I would have liked to have seen NaDa as well, but it's not a big deal since the other Terrans are pretty damn awesome anwyway. | ||

If GOM's viewer #'s are dropping(I paid/watched for the first 3 seasons, now i don't watch GOM at all) then I think this would be a good idea if it were free and in HQ. Also, several friends I have who follow SC2 don't care to watch GOM anymore because they don't want to pay(oh well) and in their words, 'that free stream is a blurry mess'. They still watch SC2, just not GOM. So, I guess I'm just wishing for a miracle and that GOM somehow found a way to get sponsorship from a 'foreign' company(ies) to stream their content in hq for free so we can avoid the blurry mess syndrome. | ||

Trickster however? as a Protoss.. I think there are more deserving players.. although I guess that says the state of toss. | ||

A big reason why many people dont like gom is because they pricetag everything they see, whereas every other major sc2 tournament gives a free option. guess ill stick to results.... and also trickster. why? lol :p I can't speak to the reason you can't afford a $5 ticket, that's your business. However, they have been offering a live, free option for all their other events and even did the World Championship tournament for free so that people might use the money they might have paid for it to donate to the relief cause in Japan. Pretty damn selfish of them, no -_-" | ||

If you don't have a bank account/pay pal, find a friend who does and hand him $5, if you don't have $5, borrow it, can't borrow any, find a drunk and steal it from him. | ||

You've got it backwards... giving money to GomTV supports their company, and not so much eSports. I support quality free events like MLG by watching their ads. Paying money and providing more incentive for PPV tournaments is a step backwards. | ||

Yeah man, $5 is less than I spend on lunch. Great value. I always buy the ad versions cause I don't find the ads to be that invasive so always better to save money by watching them. | ||

Naniwa is one of my favorites but you can argue that he doesnt deserve the spot anymore then Trickster or even Boxer does. With that said, cant complain with this lineup. | ||

In fact they're going the complete opposite route, making it available to only the premium users(people who give GOM their $).

I can't say I agree with that at all. I don't know why people are so tight that they think they should get everything for free irregardless of the cost to the provider. Doesn't anyone sit and think for a second about the money that it would cost to run the GSL (pay the casters, technical and back room staff, production staff, pay for the equipment, offices etc)? I don't know why anyone would think that people should just be giving things away for free in spite of the costs it takes to bring it to them. Besides, I want to support Esports, so I'm happy to pay for my content knowing that it's going towards future tournaments and ensuring that there will be more of them. Hence I pay for my ESL, MLG, GOM etc and am happy to do so. | ||

Are you implying that Esports would be better off if nobody paid for subscriptions for any tournaments? | ||
