EPThow can you be ok with that
20$ for a "high quality" stream at 500kbit
well at least there's a free one, even if it might be unwatchable
GOM concedes, will provide free LQ stream - Page 3

Now expand that to fir your monitor's resolution. Shader effects will be a mushy blur. I suppose if you're talking about the pay stream, I could agree, but when it's free I don't really see any need for complaints. For me, as long as the stream isn't choppy, I can hear the casters, and easily tell what's going on, I'm happy. Super-high quality video and seeing shader effects is just a 'plus' for me. The pay stream and vods probably could/should be of higher quality though. D= | ||

unless I'm missing something here, I don't know what everyone is complaining about unless they're being nitpicky over graphics | ||

For like 2 hrs. This is pretty good value. | ||

im myself do stream at 1500 kbps and i think its "okay" quality so what the hell will be 250 kbs look like ? its 1/6 th of what i think is okay pure gold... anyhow GOM is just throwing people a bone so they will eventually cough up the 20$ "eh its just 20$ and the stream will be sooo much better..." +the VOD's are only on the paid service and for anyone with any sort of life apart from SC, VOD's are a big deal b/c its on your own schedule even if its only 2 hours later you dont need to arrange your life around the streaming times so basically GOM just did this to sucker them into paying even if it'll take a little bit longer for people to decide to pay if they had kept the system the way it was then everyone would've just given them the finger and sworn to never use their service | ||

I don't mind watching horrible quality as long as its Tasteless and Artosis commentating, as long as you can see whats going on. A shame ill miss the first week because of work but I'll get to see the IdrA game at least. | ||
