To avoid using gomplayer.

I have to say that I feel like the "GOM player" aspect of GOM.tv seems to be a big "holding back" part by now. I mean if twitch can easily provide better quality without too many issues, then why is it that for 2 years the streaming quality with the GOM player has been rather bad and never improved much?

Feels like it's just a technical problem with all that GOM stuff to me. Something about the infrastructure or so. But I mean really, even with the "HQ" Stream you cannot clearly read the numbers within the game? That's just...

And yeah, I get it, free stream is free. But having a terribly low quality stream for, again, the premier Starcraft 2 league, just f**k that.

Sadly though, I just don't see it change much. I mean does anyone really expect the whole GOM business to step up their game in terms of stream quality. In fact, can they even do that without too much hassle? Who knows :/
