vods are free if you know where to look and hd stream is unreliable so not buying one this season


well that's illegal

but seriously, I like to think that by buying a ticket it helps improve the qualitiy and bandwith some time in the future. Also Tastosis needs his salary

I bought 2, but I will definitely not buy a S3 ticket.. the HQ stream was unwatchable, and 720p VODs are also unwatchable on my otherwise fine 20Mbit connection. Ill just watch the SQ live that I normally do, and watch the VODs in 720p on illigal places that can buffer just fine.

I'm amazed how many people here cite problems with accessing the stream or even the VODs, but in the same sentence mention how they've bought all tickets and will continue to do so "for the good of Esports".

Now, I'm all for Esports myself and want it to get big too. But that won't happen just by paying for a service that fails to deliver content properly. That's not the way to go and will only get the associated companies the wrong impression (bandwith/server issues but people pay anyway? alright!).

This isn't supposed to be GomTV bashing, I think they're doing a great job on the whole; but they're also lacking in certain areas, such as connection issues to Europe. They have to work on that so that people will pay for it, not the other way around.

I wont be able to watch many games live this season because it is the same time I have to work......
I consider buying it for the VODs though. Would be hours of entertainment and I could watch them whenever I have the time...
Does anyone know if they upload the vods spoiler free? Or do you see the amount of games played when you want to watch a VOD?

HQ stream was always fine for me until the ro4 in GSL 2, after which it was unwatchable every night. Not sure if it was just the high level of traffic or something else, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and purchase one more season, since I like supporting the scene and I do enjoy the HQ VODs. Hopefully they can increase the reliability of the HQ stream, in which case I'm happy to pay.

I dont buy because of three reasons:

1) Im not that much for watching VODs, which essentially takes away half the fun of watching it because you know its not live.
2) My bank really likes to fuck me up and sometimes I just cant buy shit over the internet
3) I usually have breaks between 11am-3pm (which is around the time its played) so I can still watch it live.

They are spoiler free. All you have to do is not to look at comments before you press play and turn the vod in full screen.

You don't see the amount of games, extra games are faked if they don't exist.

I didn't buy a ticket. I usually just wait for TL to do recaps on all the rounds until the final, and watch the finals on the free stream at 5am in the morning.

I would buy it without hesitation if HD stream worked. My connection is great, but that stream won't work for the life of me. Payed last month so.. yeah.
I'm also a bit uninterested in the GSL compared to events like MLG. When all foreigners were knocked out I just stopped caring, sue me but I guess I just feel more connection to players who are a bit more 'alive' in interviews and such

they even hide the comments by default now - they are definitely pretty good about taking feedback and improving

now let's hope they've heard all the comments about streaming and bought some bandwidth in EU

Wow, thanks for the info. That sounds great. Chances are 99% I am going to buy a ticket when I am back home tomorrow

Bought S1, S2 and going to buy S3. I loved watching the games.

One thing is that they've been pretty good listening to feedback:
1) HQ vids (S2 videos looked really good).
2) Their stream has improved.
3) They hide comments by default,

No,im from greece and even though my internet connection is fine gom couldnt handle a freakin 650 kbps stream! I payed the 20$ and was forced to watch the LQ stream. I would be willing to pay again if gom were to fix their servers(many ppl from europe were complaining besides me)

Vods were horrible too,the only time i could watch HQ(1mbps) VOD's and not have lag were some insane hours(1 am- 9 am).

Just bought a ticket (first timer). I hope it doesn't lag, but I don't plan to watch most games live anyways, so carefree vod watching alone justifies the purchase (if it is carefree that is).
