I hope somone makes a .torrent of the shows and loads em up on some site.. Heck I'd pay a small fee to the guy that would do that.

Bad idea. I'm sure there's a lot of guys that would do it for free anyway lol.

Why would game points matter in spectating SC2?

Also I am very sad about this I think this is a bad move and will Koreans get to watch it on the the tv?

yah i'm not paying to watch a game that's only 1/3 complete with relatively inferior talent when i can watch for free a perfected game with the best players in the world. Which is probably why Blizzard wants to kill BW

Honestly GOM should know by now that people on the internet are cheap.

Me myself being broke am going to be said that I won't be able to watch the GSL in high quality glory or access the VOD's.

I'd gladly support GOM but the price they're asking is just too much. There's no way I could catch the live stream at the time they're playing it, I'm interested in the VODs but it's simply too much money for me to justify the expense.

If they cut it in half, I'd probably subscribe.

You know when GomTV asked for people to pay for the stream back in the brood war days, at least it was a tournament full of pros.

The majority of the players in the Ro of 64 are korean amateurs.... 50 dollars for full access to a tournament of mostly amateurs and during the wee hours of the morning for most foreigners, is not just steep, it is down right ridiculous and insulting

So, does this mean it will be impossible to watch without paying...?

Wording in the OP made it sound like only the HQ stream would cost money, will there be a LQ one?

Edit: And on the topic, hell no I'm not paying. If it was full of tons of HUGE names, maybe, but it's not.

If it was between $5 and $10 for stream + vods per month, people would actually consider buying a ticket.. like seriously, they would expand their client base by a huge amount.

Their price models just don't make any sense, gretech needs to learn to economics herp.

Interesting question:

What if the stream is
1.) 100% Smooth
2.) 1080p + 3D Ready

???

I don't care, we should organize and go to nearest Korean embassy and complain in the banner of prejudice. Branding "racism" as a sword always get something done

They don't seem to understand that they're marketing mostly to broke college students ages 20-24. This demographic does not have much money to spend! It's a miracle most of us could afford SC2!

Gretech? More like Greedtech.

I understand the need for bandwidth; however, with their history of laggy streams, I don't see how they expect anyone to pay $20 to watch a stream at 4am.
