Do they not realize random amateurs are streaming at 1000kbps or better? That HQ is more like 1500kbps? MLGs was 1600kbps, iirc. Even just 800kbps is miles ahead of 500kbps in clarity. Ridiculous. Yeah, not the greatest tbh. But because of the distance a lot of people can't get above ~250kbps anyways. | ||

Well it looked like the bandwidth check was mislabeled, it said Kbps when it was actually measuring KBps. It may be that the 500Kpbs stream is actually 500KBps = 4Mbps which would be extremely good quality. We will find out soon enough. Edit: Never mind, samples are up and it's just 500k. And the bw check seems to have been fixed. | ||

I just received the following e-mail (I added bold for emphasis): It looks like still no free vods, but free LQ stream. That's the best news i've heard in a long time. $20 sounds reasonable for live stream + vods. | ||

Sad to lose TLO to it, but we already had our entertainment by him, lets hope someone can replace him on the innovation side of the game. What happened to TLO? Did I miss sth? | ||

For Koreans, they can attend the GSL live or they can watch it with via internet (afaik gomtv is only internet, or am I wrong there?) and not on a normal TV channel (like OGN would've been)? | ||

If all I get for free are livestreams in KST I can now choose between either a) too little sleep b) no sleep at all/freaked out teachers and bad grades because I leave my courses at "random" times I would not even stay up until 4:00 AM or something for a Fantasy vs Jaedong OSL finals, not even if I knew how amazing it would be in advance. I'd much rather search hours upon hours on the internet for some extremely low quality VOD of a re-restream with tons of ads and messed up sounds, possibly filmed with a mobilephone. So - any chance something like the above depicted will be available for people like me? I really don't like to think I am going to miss this event because of the crappy timezones... Also I assume this does apply to most other Europeans and people from NA, too. Sounds like the overall GSL audience is going to be quite manageable... SB | ||

$20 for everything is a good price. Like this plan a lot better. Yeah I agree, 20 $ for vods and livestream isn´t as crazy as 30 for vods without stream. Also I could get the 500 kb/s. If that offer is true I might consider buying one. | ||
