No use buying a ticket for a stream that can't be properly accessed from Europe in the first place.

And since VODs aren't my thing, and I'm not interested in all games anyway, there's absolutely no reason left to get a season ticket.

Third ticket here. Hardly watch stream though, even if I have the possibility to, because the HQ VoD's are so much better quality and when pre-buffered, lag free. (EU lag ftw? )

I bought for the VODs, because I can't watch it live. I wish they would pick a time where LIVE is accessible for more regions in the world. But now that I think about it, there isn't one

As much as I'd love to support GOM, enough is enough. I'm not paying for watching finals on a restream. They really need to get their shit together in Europe. Not buying another season until the issues have been resolved.

I recently bought the season 2 & 3 combined ticket for about 25$ or s.th. like that. I did it for the main purpose of watching the VODs and especially certain matches, that interesst me the most, when it comes to playstyles and so on and I want to learn from them by myself. The only thing that bothers me a bit, is, that you sometimes can't follow the build orders or production timings in the matches flawlessly, because of the nature of the castings. Yeah, the unit tab seems opened most of the times, but you miss a lot of things going on in the match just by the fact, that Tastosis can't focus anything, that's going on in the match.

But overall a great purchase and a good investment and I personally think, that the quality of the VODs are overall good.

I also would support the "foreinger scene" alike, if there were a bigger tournament on a regular basis, where you get so much additional high quality contents (VODs, players, casters, organisation).

Third ticket in a row and not the last one.

Never bought one. Price is unjustified. If it's online. You can always get it for free. Would buy if it's around $1-2/season. Pretty much like price of a $1 CD.

Bought season 1 and 2, not buying it this time. No point in paying for something when they dont deliver. If they fix their streaming issues to europe I'll buy a ticket.

Because something is online means it should be free is stupid logic.

I might. I can watch almost all of the games live since I can keep them on in the background at work and GSL starts at 11 AM in Sweden after the round of 64. I also don't mind the quality in the free stream. However, it would be cool to have access to VODs and 15 dollars is nothing.

Since there is no way to tell whether the incessant lag has been fixed for the HQ stream, i won't be buying a ticket for season 3. I'll probably use the money to buy the new Assassins Creed game.

I did and I'm proud to support eSport. Seriously, these guys are really trying, even though many people have had problems with the stream. I mean, some people asked for VODs from the prelims, and then they released them shortly after.

I hope they fix their stream soon though

If they would fix streaming to Europe, I'd immediately buy one (as I did for season 1 and 2). But with lagging streams and insane vod loading times, I am really not interested, which is quite sad as the content is probably great.

Buying it again 'cus I think they're worth it for the effort they make to broadcast it to us in english.

Sure the HQ stream doesn't work, but the SQ aint that bad and there's always HQ restreams anyway.

I live in the US. I bought a season 2 ticket. I didn't have many problems. Occasionally I couldn't get on the HQ or SQ stream right away but after about 10 minutes of SQ Test stream, I could get on the HQ stream.
Plus with work, I don't have as much time to watch the streams, at least the ones that air late at night in the US. So I can have the HQ VODs which are also nice. Occasionally they'd lag. But if I let them load for 30 seconds, it would load nicely and have no more problems.

Bought season 2 ticket, not buying the third. Dissapointed with the quality of service.
