Will buy my 3rd ticket soon. Season 2 was an improvement over the 1st quality wise and I watch about 80% of matches past ro32 so it's easily worth it. Besides, both of my roommates watch it too.

I don't see why every single person who loves competitive SC here on TL isn't buying one. It is supporting SC2, and even better, E-Sports. They do an awesome job over at GOM and the price for the amount of content you get is absolutely worth it. If you don't like the live service, then watch the VOD's like I do which is just as exciting and higher quality.

EDIT- Btw if you have an HD 1080 TV and a PS3, you can view the VOD's in HQ on your TV using the internet browser on the PS3. This allows awesome full screen SC2! It's basically like watching a show on TV, only its SC2 and its awesome!

I bought tickets the last 2 seasons but as for many europeans the HQ stream was not working and even the VOD were sometime loading very slowly .. therefore I really don't know if i'm going to buy a ticket for this season . I'm ok with supporting e-sport and everything , but I mean ... I can watch 1080 HD on youtube from some random guy (hi HD ) but Gom can't provide a good support for their videos and the HQ videos still look really bad ... something is wrong :s. Even the stream for MLG was way better .
I think I will end up buying one but still , I hope they're going to fix it this season.

Bought the season 3 ticket.. Eventho I mostly can't watch the games live.. So really doing it for the VODs atm.. It still sucks that I have to preload for the HQ VODs, but I hope they will improve it this or next season. And it is only like 11 euro so it isn't that bad I guess..

I spend so much on internet these days its ridiculous. Gonna have to switch to an unlimited plan to cope with the GSL. It's too much!

This country, my god. WTB something > third world internet.

Honestly watching them play is equally if not more fun than playing the game itself. :D

And here I was thinking I had fast net xD Honestly, I have to agree that the live service isn't as good as it could be, however I think their infrastructure just isn't big enough to support it quite yet. They mentioned that at one point they had over 500,000 people watching the live stream for a Boxer game..that is some serious bandwidth if those numbers are really true. I would assume as they get bigger (ie people buying season tickets!) that this service will improve significantly.

IS 6-7 Mb/s enough for 720p clip?

I would have bought it if they let mac users stream. I'll just watch restreams until they do.
