EPTIt is kind of like the idea a few years ago where newspapers online were debating on whether to charge a subscription fee, but of course since people were so used to it being free there was no way it was going to work.

Starts being more similar to that gym membership I ditched for cost reasons. But it's just like sixty cents perday. | ||

Will you pay for GOM's GSL stream? : No (7692) 85% Maybe (976) 11% Yes (337) 4% Remember how negative the idea of paying for GSL was when it was first introduced, now we accepted it. Same with this, some may get upset, but the people who love GSTL will buy it sooner or later. GSTL>>>GSL! | ||

I wish there was a way to get a poll of people who have purchased the vast majority of GSL season tickets so far. Every time threads like these come up, I feel like there are a lot of people that vote no (regardless of price, and they'd probably never even buy it anyway). | ||

I know it doesn't amount to much per day of content, but honestly I can't justify paying for both the gsl and gstl | ||

I've bought every GSL stream so far, and I'm hesitant to buy this one. I loved the GSTL and paid $5 for 1 week of matches no problem, but $25 seems steep because I'm afraid it will fall under the NASL syndrome of "too many games I don't care about watching" | ||

Most of the times, even if the game were not great, the atmosphere and the player interaction are just golden! Also don't forget about the foreign players (FXO and F united, though don't think huk nor jinro will show up  | ||

GSL provides the best environment for the players and spectators so I will keep support them. BTW previously, 10$ was pretty cheap considering the production value. | ||

Hey would you look at that, a dollar a day. before you were paying $1.25. I disagree with this comparison. What made the previous GSTL's 4 days so good is that each day and every round matters. One team will be eliminated for sure each round. That's why, every match, every game was so intense. I guess for me, it is the same reasoning as to why the regular season tickets to NBA/NHL games are way cheaper than the Playoff's. Because now, most of those 25 days are just normal rounds of the round robin. A win or a loss is less intense and therefore less exciting. So what if MMA comes back and does a reverse all kill against OGS and taking out MC at the 7th round? They're no where close to winning or even advancing yet, and OGS is no where close to being eliminated. That is why, I would of even paid 10 dollars for those 4 days of the old GSTL, but I'm still considering the 25 bucks for this new one, still feels a tad too expensive for me. If they were to add a 5-10 dollar option to watch just the playoff rounds, I would definitely buy it. | ||

The people most likely to pay to watch sc2 are hardcore fans and are most likely going to stay up to watch it live, or watch every match on the vods the day after before they see spoilers in the communities they participate in. The people less likely to pay to watch sc2 are casual fans who won't stay up late to watch live, don't have to see every game as soon as they happen and only watch a few games of favourite players. Therefore GOM should charge for access to the live stream and vods for a few days after they happen and then they become free to get ad money from the casual views. Also why does the team league cost more per game then the regular gsl especially since it has a smaller prize pool then just one month of GSL? Should GOM increase the regular GSL price to match? | ||
