It was said that the VODs have been made visible only today, and that they can only be watched if you subscribe ($19.99). | ||

I'm huge Flash fan, but i won't pay so much to see him play SC2. I would thought that OGN will be willing to build their viewer base with free service first, but what do i know about marketing and promotions. SC2 is much more popular in Korea that i thought if they can chrge for watching the VODs... Yes, you can watch vods without paying $20. Ofc, no moletrap and grubby though. | ||

It's depressing when you find that after years of being a dedicated fan, they don't care about your viewership anymore because your viewership didn't pay, and it didn't pay because they never wanted it to. I'd have paid to see the OSL back when it was actually the OSL. It was fun while it lasted though. Edit: I mean I guess I could watch bootleg VODs, but that's not really the point. I wouldn't have watched bootleg BW VODs either. | ||

Especially when BW was teetering on the edge, but even before that, I'd have been happy to pay a reasonable sum for OSL season tickets. If that was the business model that could keep BW successful, so be it. But now they change the game and then ask me to pay to watch? Forget it, keep your VODs to yourself.

From what I gather it will be : - No free vods. - HD vods for 20 $ / season - Free (low quality) stream - HD stream for 20$ / season Is it right ? 20$/month according to twitch subscription page. | ||

This "esport" is getting more ridiculous every day. For one, we all have to understand that Kespa switched with a reason like everyone else, the avarice of things. But OGN already have a stable source of income from those Reebok, Coca Cola, Pepsi, and 20 other commercials + league sponsors that I can't remember unlike GOM pretty much have to rely on their pay-per-view + additional fundings from Blizzard.. But hey can't blame them for wanting more moneys. They are, after all, a company. And much like Blizzard wanting to cater to the casual playerbase, Kespa wants a fatter pocket for themselves. | ||
