Previously single stream viewers ( free or light ) would get to see 50% of the games - while games were being played. Now games are being played and we're fully locked out behind a paywall without any other content to watch. Something Something gabe newell you're competing with free something something. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. -SeeKeR | ||

But maybe you should've read the description for what you were buying, I had no trouble buying the package I wanted. 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. | ||

Since then stream 2 has always been locked to premium while live. | ||
