No one told me. Bullshit. They did something like this before and it's annoying as fuck to not know what you're actually getting. Was sitting here waiting because I saw it on the TL calendar.
You're getting the same thing as before! Is your complaint about the TL calendar or GOM?
No I am not. I could choose which game I wanted to watch before. It's not even close to the same thing.
Did they change which package you needed to watch the dual stream? I did not know this. But maybe you should've read the description for what you were buying, I had no trouble buying the package I wanted.

Reschedule or not, non-premium users get the same games, at the same time as they were expecting. They even get Artosis!
The term dual stream is a misnomer is the problem. Last season they didn't do this and that was the same ticket system, if the earlier code A matches weren't considered a "second stream".
Exactly, i knew i had watched Code A stream before with my light ticket.
It's really not about what im missing out on tonight, though it is disappointing. This is more about the definition of "Dual Streams" and how its defined differently between seasons. If Gom would have made this clear when i purchased the ticket, Tbh i still would have bought Light. Though at least i would have a good idea as to what i was actually buying.
but thats enough from me, ill watch the vods tomorrow. Enjoy the games everyone.
Exactly how I feel, disappointed, this is not a Dual Stream, there are not 2 streams running at the time, it's not my fault that they had to re-schedule the games. I know it sounds like an asshole, but they should really explain that to you when you buy the ticket.

Normally you wouldn't be watching any GSL right now, so nothing's changed for you. When you come back in ~4.5 hours you can watch the 50% of games as normal.
I'm going to take this moment and apologize to my fellow TL peers. I should've included this information in to the OP when I created it.
Unfortunately, I had no idea about this rule myself and only just found out through this thread. I sincerely apologize, and I will make sure this doesn't happen again.

I have no idea if they changed anything.
What I am telling you is that I could watch every game with light tickets before. I just could not watch them at the same time. I could pick and choose which stream I could watch, perfectly in line with the term "dual streams". No there is a single stream that I cannot choose to watch.
I don't know why it is so difficult to understand that there is a difference. If there was a jookto vs. Ace game going on last season I could watch it no matter which stream it was on. Now there is one going on and I cannot. Will I get the VODs? Who knows.
The site right now tells me that I am trying to access dual streams, which I am not.

I did not know that you could pick which stream you were allowed to watch 1 at a time, I thought you were only allowed to watch stream 1, I've never bought just a lite ticket. This does sound like a valid complaint, sorry.

I'd rather get the free stream now and the paywall one later. I can't stay up late enough to see every game later >.<

Nope , and this really makes me feel like I was misled, I expected to be able to watch every GSL match with my light ticket, which is their standard product, there's nothing premium about watching common matches, maybe you could make a case for their previous system (when we were only able to watch one HQ stream at a time), but this one is totally ridiculous.

This is simply not true, if they changed the normal schedule for the games and started streaming at different hours it doesn't mean that I wouldn't be able to watch it, when I saw this on the TL calendar I thought it was merely a schedule change, like the one that happens on saturday, not being able to watch games is a different thing altogether.

No they're wrong. You couldn't pick and choose which stream you could watch except for like day 1 of this new ticket system when they made a mistake. Since then stream 2 has always been locked to premium while live.
