I would gladly pay even more than 40$ is nothing compared to what you get!

GOMTV is the boss.

I need my GSL fix, so for me it's a non issue.


while im not as crazy as this guy (and it'd be easy to pirate at that price),
i'll definitely buy it at 40 bucks too,

imo you forgot an important fact:


GSTL is fucking amazing

Honestly I liked the old GSTL format. Short and sweet, I hate tournaments that last more then a month. Besides I only like tuning in for a few of my favorite teams. Gah, I would pay for maybe 15$ not 25$ though.

Harumf, I still wish they had a Korea like option where it's free but TOTALLY DECKED OUT WITH ADS

Like two minutes of ads to start, gigantic, gigantic overlay ads over the screen in between matches and during the first 30 seconds of the game.

They could target those ads towards poor students who can't afford GSTL tickets :D

Overall though, $40 seems okay, considering it's the cost of seeing four movies in a theater, or less than some xbox videogame you'll play for 8 hours
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

The past two GSTLs were awesome. I'm certain that the next will be more awesome.

I usually look at it like this.
Is it something I want? Yes.
Is it priced fairly? Yes.
Can I afford it? No. -> Cut out a few cookies and cake from weekly food budget.
Can I afford it now? Yes.

There are so many things you constantly pay for. Night out on the town is expensive, to the movies, eating everyday. If you have a part of your budget available for leisure things like the advancement of ESPORTS but it's just not enough, then cut other things out. Unless you eat close to nothing and when you eat you only eat like rice, the food budget should be an amazing place to cut.
Do I want to eat 2 boxes of cookies, 3 bags of crisps, 10 cans of coke, a pot of ice cream and steak this week. Or do I skip the tasty foods, eat egg sandwich a few times, and then eat all the other stuff every week while watching the GSL.

This would be amazing, especially since the time it takes to download and install adblocker is less than the time it takes to watch a single ad.
mutalisks are awesome!

We all payed $5 for 4 days of GSTL. We need to stop comparing GSTL prices with Code S/Super T prices.

Before, we got $5/4 days aka $1.25/day.

This GSTL will be about 12 weeks, 2 days each week. That is 24 days for $25 dollars.

Now, we have $25/24 days aka $1.04/day.

It is actually cheaper than before on a per-day basis. We still have 2 matches a day like before, but they will be bo5s. So the games will theoretically be (at most) 2 games shorter on average. I won't factor that in because 1) I'm lazy 2) I don't care about that difference. So sure the price/game might go up a bit but I think in the end, it will be about the same.
We talkin about PRACTICE

Too many tournaments asking for money now. MLG, NASL, GSL, homestory...have to start drawing the line.

It's definitely high, but well worth it considering that the GSTL is the best thing around. Also, the amount of games is really high.

I think i will watch the LQ version for free.by staying up at night. I already have NASL, so I dont want to spend more money on GSL. I think I have bought a couple of GSLs till now..but 40$ is huge money

The GSTL is by far the most entertaining tournament in my opinion, no need to complain gomtv usually does a great job with it as well so I won't be disappointed at all!

It's the GSL. No other broadcasted league comes close to quality of games and production yet. Only LAN events are competitive, and not really comparable. I'll be paying for this w/o hesitation.

The price does seem a bit steep compared to other things that we pay for. Internet $30? Cable TV $50? HBO $15? Cell phone bills $50? Stream many TV shows off of Hulu for $8/month. All of these options give us much more access and content than from one source from one company.

I'd like to see a monthly subscriber option from Gom. They'd have a stable customer base from month to month and solid figures to work with.

Here is written that a 'pennant race' is Bo7 and all play-offs are Bo9 though. So even more matches? :D Or did I miss something :o

lol 25 bucks......how broke are TLers....even 40 isnt that bad. Even while I was in college I could afford this. I. spend twice the amount going out in the city. Stop being jews, its not like there asking you to shell out 100 s of dollars. This really a nominal fee with great production value.
