Annoyed with no free VODs. Weird results, too. I expected Hero and Symbol to get out... that said, I'm definitely not disappointed to see Forgg doing well!

Ye, I even paid for the 2013 WCS KR Light Ticket and can't watch the fucking finals? :D

Okay, whos responsible for bracket seeding?

Its a standard 1st from group A plays 2nd from group D, 1st from D plays 2nd from A and same for the other 2 groups. Just a coincidence its all mirrors.

1. Dump $1.6m+++ into tournament to build up SC2 in particular and Blizzard e-sports in general.
2. Make people pay to watch the VODs so no one but the diehards end up watching it anyway.
3. ???
4. Profit...?

well said.

Yea same for Nestea

Also GSL WC had - I believe - smallest prize pool of all GSLs?

Being able to watch it live for free but then having to pay for the VOD's favours people in the right time zone to an extent it's appalling. A slap in the face of all EU fans. Never been more disappointed with blizzard.

At the moment I feel that being a sc2-spectator was way better in WoL where there was independent companies powering the scene, compared to this shit, despite the intention behind WCS being the growth of e-sports.

Expecting radical changes to next season.

It's a 1 off payment of like $5 or $10 for life time sub on twitch. Then you can watch all the vods you want....

Oh man, the finals started at a awkward time for me and I tought ill just wait it to finish and watch the vods after. I had no idea they were going to charge for them. 5$ is not much, but I rather use it for something else. I think charging for the vods is kind of a bad call, and smack to the face of european fans.

Man I wished that Mvp would have gotten one of the favorites of the tournament (Innovation/Soulkey). So that we can all doubt him and he can prove us all dumb for not believing in him.

Am I right in assuming that they will play the bracket from top to bottom? First game would be soulkey vs roro. I sure hope so because then i will be able to see the two TvTs.

Well, he still definitely has the chance. I think he stands a good shot at making it to the next round.

Welcome to what North Americans have always had to deal with for GSLs.

I do think the VODs should be free though.

So there are 2 OSL accounts on twitch (OSL and OSL2), both are $5. Does that mean it's $10 bucks to get vods? And is that only for this finals (nothing after)? If so that's amazingly stupid.

yeah its very bad for promotion of wcs no free vod means the final is only for korean to watch where it is a world final!

that doesnt make sense and when i was watching the stream group a it was barely 60k where wcs europe finals were at 100k viewer .

its obvious people of us and eu cant watch this decently

hope in europe they will let free vod even for the final as they are doing now but .
... money money money and next season few viewer that what they will get
