Both are easily watchable though. I may pay the $20 just to get access to the VODs because there is no way I will be able to stay up for all of these games. Yeah. Not impressed with the 500k also. I'll be enjoying this meanwhile. Maybe I'll stream it for you guys even. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/vN77K.jpg) | ||

Do they not have a person that's responsible for stream encoding? Why is it a step DOWN in quality and not up? Or did they just majorly fuck up the samples and the actual streams will be watchable? | ||

The 300k looks far better than most proleague/OSL streams I watch. Could it be better? Of course, but it's not as bad as you guys seem to be making it out to be. Premium is worth it now anyway for $20 with vods too. | ||

I don't see the point in coming here and complaining about the quality. They sell a product, if you don't want it, move on. You don't barge into stores screaming about how pricey and bad tasting a specific cereal is, why bitch about this if you're not interested? 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. Dude, clients must never be content. We're stuck in a capitalist society, companies have to deliver quality products or its the clients duty to be frustrated and demand additional lumber. From what I hear, 500kbps seems like a really shitty quality, not to mention DRM issues, not being able to keep copies of vods after tournament is over. They decided to lower the price of a low quality product to make us think "Oh, they listen to us", but this is more like negociation. If we accept to pay so much for a shitty video quality, we're pretty much getting screwed. Maybe in the future they will up the bandwidth/quality of the stream and the customers will be getting a better value for their money. | ||
