The replays for me just take quite a while to load even in SQ, and usually after 5-10 mins they just stop and I get an endless cycle of ads. Agreed, I've tried to watch some vod's but it takes hours to buffer and lags really badly when I play it normally. | ||

Then he teamed up with GomTV and its basically all gone. Cant acess the stream, the VOD's take years to load and when they do you get 2 or 3 ads in your face before you even watch any of what you were looking for in the first place, and releasing replay files is gone so no way of actually sharing the content with people that cant watch the GomTV stream because it doesnt work properly on the internet connection, such as myself. For quite a long time i was able to make VOD's out of the replay files and mentioned Gisado and his event on each and every VOD. Even questioned GomTV about the possibility of releasing the replays and adding some GomTV or Gisado banner on the VOD's in a way to promote them so they feel pleased enough to allow us, non South Korea residents, to enjoy the matches...but no, its not possible. So currently the situation is: you cant have replay files, you cant watch it, and Xeph restream is forbidden aswell. I understand the legal issues behind it but limiting the access to the content this early on the life of SC2 doesnt seem to promote the product or attract more people to it. Divide and conquer only works when theres enough to divide, and i dont think we've reach that level yet, Still, its GomTV / Gretech decision and we just have to move along and go watch something else instead. Meanwhile, just want to thank you Xeph for the restreams taken directly from South Korean pro-gamers (watched oGsTheStC streaming yesterday for example) and mourn for the loss of the Gisado King of the Hill outside South Korea. Peace. | ||

Thank you and yes, i did read the posts above me. If by any chance you're mentioning the "we're working on it" post, i would like to mention that its always great to have GomTV "working on it" to improve the quality of the provided content, but as im sure you know, they've been "working on it" in several fronts such as: - complaints about people paying the premium stream service and not being able to watch the live events and being reduced to VOD's - people not being able to watch the LQ free stream due to huge lag spikes (myself included) - receiving the premium payment but not allowing acess to the payed service by the paying costumer This are only a small fraction of the existant complaints while we wait for them to "work on it". Im not assuming or demanding GomTV / Gretech to be perfect. What i was proposing was a concept closer to "since we're working on it and cant ensure a 99.9% quality service yet, we're not blocking acess to the information untill we can provide such quality service". Like i stated above, im aware of the legal issues behind it but being inflexible or limit yourself to literal legal interpretation usually ends up in doing more injustice than justice. I respect the organization and the people "working on it" so dont take any of the above mentioned in an offensive way since that wasnt the intention...just my two cents. Peace. | ||

Peace. Yes much thanks to all the effort from everyone promoting Gisado's excellent work. And it really is too bad they won't release replays with some sort of GOM banner. Maybe that's a patch Blizzard can help with?! | ||
