Bought all 3 seasons, never had problems with lag or anything not working... Incredible investment for the time I've spent watching games/money spent. Catch the first few games before work, watch vods after with dinner.

Mine seems to be lagging pretty hard today both on the SQ and the HQ.

Not sure if I am the only one having the issue, the download speed is just horrific right now..

Yeah everyone can complain as much as they want about the livestream. It's better than any other livestream of the GSL (which there is none), so whatever. It's better than the free stream of MLG. And in MLG you only get to watch like 1/10th of the matches because they cram it into 3 days. GSL has higher production values than any other tournament currently, every match of the 64 competitors is professionally casted in 2 languages, cmon now.

It's worth it, I keep buying it, and I'm pretty stingy with my money. Look at it this way, the average time of a series is about 30 minutes max, maybe more or less. That's 50-60 hours of footage (averaging here, be nice), for 15 bucks? Cmon people quit whining. You spend 20 bucks on a dvd for some crappy 2 hour movie.

This was actually the first time I've paid for anything e-sports related. I didn't get to watch any of GSL2, which was leaving me kind of sad. Then, browsing GOMtv, I saw the 25 buck season 2/3 package deal they have going. I bit. Now I'm highly enjoying catching up with season 2 and look forward to watching every reasonable-western-time GSL3 cast. I'd say it was worth it.

As a Zerg player, I am LOVING the majority of the games so far, definitely already worth the 15$ I spent.

Have purchased all seasons so far.

Season 3 they seem to have improved the HQ VOD quality but now all of the VODs are choppy. SQ is ok for the most part but the HQ is pretty bad. Even if you let the VOD fully load first, it still skips around.

First time I have had problems with the site. I am hoping more people are having this problem so they can fix it.

I know a lot of people think its a good deal but the price is still a little high in my opinion. They are obviously getting plenty of viewers considering the bandwidth issues. I think they should get rid of the free stream and change the price to $10. Also some additional subscription models would be a good idea, 3 month, 6 month and 1 year for example.

there are some issues with the season 3 vods atm. The encoding seems to be messed up in some vods resulting in choppy video and audio and some vods of day 2 load extremely slow. There are a lot of people who have those issues so I'm pretty sure it's on gom.tv's end. Don't know what got messed up there but it's really annoying and I hope they will fix it soon... : /

Exactly, the big deal is that at the same time as GSL you also have the 3 brood war tournaments going, all high budget, high production value, and all completely free to watch on nevake. And weve been having some of the most killer games ever in the latest pro league season, the new map pool owns. So unfortunately the pay-for-view sc2 scene has some trouble keeping up with the excellent quality of recent BW pro scene.

Yeah, it is so worth it. Plus, I do not want to be watching matches at 6am. O_O

I was very happy with my last season's purchase, but will not be purchasing one this season due to time constraints

Can't even watch the sq vods due to lagging. Thanks gom, seems you invest my money wisely into coke and hookers. Guess next season I just watch vods on youtube, as "the pirates" are more competent.

I'm tired of the foreigners sucking horribly. Idra losing to that hidden base was face palm. TLO hasn't performed at all.

So far IDRA has been the best, but its going to be sad if we have to root for Loner or Sen or something.

thanks for the spoiler purecarnagge, seriously. Where do I report, so that an admin might see your post and promote you to a special status?

Isnt he talking about the spoiler from a previous season where Idra lost to that protoss who hid an expo? Idra plays for the first time in season 3 today.
