I doubt most people would even know the GSL was happening if it wasn't for TL. It's not like GOM advertises itself, TL is the only good source of Korean Starcraft news.

In fact, I have no idea how anyone would learn about the GSL if TL didn't tell us about it. Other sites just steal news from TL when it comes to Korean events.

I've been viewing the restreams because China isn't allowed to view the gomtv.net feeds. Does this mean I'm allowed to view the korean HQ videos? hmmmm

What? Why would China ban chinese from watching korean e-sports? Then again they did block blizzard's World of Warcraft ip for months...

No, GOM is preventing me from viewing the videos. They're saying that the "service is not available in my reigon". I can watch livestream, but not blip.tv or ustream (no day 9 for me )

I'm completely happy with the LQ free stream(as long as it works). I don't need to see every high quality piece, as long as it's clear enough to see units. Sure the HQ is great, but LQ is more than enough. If it was so low quality you could hardly make anything out I might buy HQ, but atleast ATM LQ is good. Ty GOM

What I don't understand is why the VODs are such low quality (same as "high") for people who paid $20 for the season ticket.

I haven't heard of anything. It seems like their plan is to just announce their tournament and let SC news sites gather all their customers for them.


irregardless. the stream wont improve if gom's viewer count doesn't improve.
at the very least there should be consistant reminders that if you CAN watch the direct stream you SHOULD.
it's nice to have the restreams there for people having problems. but i worry people who can watch the direct stream fine are just watching restreams

and to almost everyone in this thread
as gom's viewer count increases so will the quality of the stream.
if gom can actually pick up some international advertisers for the ad breaks im betting they will increase the quality then aswell


While that seems like a reasonable assumption, it is still assumption. Unless GOM comes out and states why the quality is so bad we don't know if it's a money issue or not. Didn't Blizzard partner up with GOM to kill off Kespa? In that type of situation you should be prepared to invest enough start up money to make sure it succeeds. If you have a reasonably good system the VODs are really just painful to watch right now.

"irregardless" isn't a word.

And it's a catch-22. The stream won't get better quality without more viewers, and it won't get more viewers until it's better quality.

Also, I'm not sure why the VOD quality is so bad. They should be able to show those at Korean HD quality no problem (aha, but they use GOMPlayer instead of allowing downloads!)

Just try to hit up the gomtv site once in a while, while watching a restream.
They register the hits, and see that their capacities are at the limit.



And i'd only wish the VODs were better quality. Seems worse than the HQ stream.

The quality of the free stream is almost perfect for me. Note that it varies a little, so you get a much better picture from time to time, than the one in the OP.

It's also very light. For example, I actually can't watch Day9 dailies live without major difficulties, because they are so heavy on traffic and cpu lately, with this hd quality.

We don't know that the VOD problem is a bandwidth issue. It could be an encoding issue. The VOD quality is incredibly poor, I can't read a single number on the screen. Since the VODs don't have to be hosted in Korea they should be higher quality than the stream, not lower quality.

Maybe Blizz is waiting on someone big like MLG to express interest in managing SCII for the West.

If it was only that good quality, but the VODs look pretty much like the free stream during the games.

Ya it's still maxing out. You'd think they would try to increase stream capacity when they max out every day...

You have priority as a premium user. Never had a "stream full" message.

I've been fine watching the free stream, it's no worse than watching broodwar on Livestream as the only things you can't really make out are the numbers and smaller images.

Anything important you can see anyways.
