Is it confirmed now that moletrap is coming in full time? Completely off-topic, it's almost like you're responding in the wrong thread but I know you're not. Keep your bitching to yourself.
is it confirmed that moletrap is coming in full time?
Completely related to the thread though, it makes more sense to implement the things this thread is asking for when theres a large demand. according to a whole lot of people there's not so much demand right now.
I also really enjoy Artosis' hair and wish him well

I think having a fixed NA/EU stream time might bring in enough new viewers (who in turn may buy tickets) to be worthwhile. Right now a lot of GSL fans watch live or watch VODs. There isn't really any way to bring friends into the fold;
I can't IM or text them and say "hey, check out the GSL game playing right now"--they're asleep or don't want to pay to see something they might not find interesting.
.With a fixed restream time would let people grab their online friends and attract more viewers overall

Get Vods. Seriously, just to get the false feeling of a live they'd have to broadcast three times? (Real Live, US timezone, EU Timezone.) That's just stupid and, moreso, rather costy.
|
They should just host the GSL in another country...
I kinda grow uninterested in the GSL just for the fact that i basically never can watch a match live.
|
Pay for the VODs and support e-sports.
I agree that it would sure be great to watch the stream for free at a more reasonable time for us, but the best way to get e-sports to grow is to inject capital (see: money) into it.
|
just watch the VoDs dude, dont be cheap
|
I'm pretty sure they saw making the live casts free as a compromise, recognizing they could still collect revenue from the large, sleep-deprived NA audiences. I don't expect they'll change the present system in a hurry.
Give me an idea though - any chance NASL could rebroadcast in the KST evenings? That'd be fantastic...
|
yeah so this is basicly for all the people NOT wanting to pay 10 bucks a month

This the dumbest post I've ever read in TL, it's like asking Europeans to host Dreamhack outside of Europe because it doesn't suit Korean/Asia timezone. Use your brain before you post. Seriously.

I don't think you guys understand
This doesn't replace VODs (on demand). It's a rebroadcast. A sing re-run at a set time.
The difference is that it lets them compete more directly with NA tournaments/events etc.
At a normal hour you have GSL rebroadcast, or NASL rebroadcast. It puts them in a better competitive spot.
Watching vods is a much different feel than a rebroadcast
Why would you want them to do this!? That sounds to me like the worst idea possible... Last thing we need is competition between the two leagues, I like it the way it is personally since I can watch the GSL games after or before the NASL games.
For the sake of e-sports in the west, the NASL must succeed...

This is a good idea and I don't understand all the hate in the comments.
There are a lot of people out there who would watch the GSLs if they were broadcast once at a reasonable time in US/EU, but who aren't planning on subscribing to the VOD service or staying up super late to watch the livestream. Getting more viewers will:
First, get them more viewers on their ads
Second, increase the value of the ads
Third, show how much viewership is possible in the West, encouraging western advertisers to sponsor tournaments
Fourth, perhaps eventually allow them to lower the cost of VODs or remove it entirely, basing their revenue solely on advertisement
Obviously, this is where we all want the GSL service to be, and the only way it is going to get there is with more viewership. People (like me) who want to access match videos whenever they want can still buy VODs, but for some people being able watch the stream will give them access to these matches and it benefits GOM because those people are viewing GOMs ads and increasing viewership. There's no negative there.

While it sounds cool and all.
Doesn't this like destroy the exact reason ppl prefer a stream over vods, cause its live?
I am all in for it but i rather watch the vods then since neither is live and since its a restream you can't skip pauses/games you don't wanna see.
|
But then the live report threads will be much less crowded, and we won't be discussing the game at the same time.
|
There are VODs already which you can watch anytime you want and it's even better quality then the stream. It's only 10 dollars which is like 7 euros? For a month of games that's nothing.
|
GSL airtime is great for EU people imo
|
Dunno when NASL will be, but i guess it a nice idea.
|
The poll is really limited and biased. I would tune in or bad idea? What about don't care/do it if it's cost effective but I wouldn't watch it?
|
I read the thread, thought "I see no difference in watching the vods..." and then clicked "Yes, good idea". Dang misclicks, probably why I can barely stay in Diamond!

Hey guys, this idea seems kind of obvious to me, in order to compete better with NASL Compete with GSL? NASL is like GSL only worse players and no TasteosisXD
So what happens if previous GSL players play in NASL? Does the world explode?

I dont see why theyd wanna compete with the NASL (which is 3 months away.) wouldnt they want to work WITH them to bring in a large amount of viewers for both instead of dividing the views?
