Lol you don't want to give GOM your credit card information. Wasn't too long ago that they got hacked and basically every account was compromised because they had the usernames and passwords saved in a txt file.

Yep, right now this pool is kinda useless.

I guess it's a good thing I really enjoy TvT and watching poorly played Zs stomp Ps that try anything other than very gimmicky 1 time only builds.

Just purchase it as a guest, and when it recognizes you have a paypal then just say you still want to pay with just a credit card.

Hmmm I buy GSL to get entertainment value out of it. As much as I love protoss, I find TvT to be a decent matchup, and no matter the race, usually the games between the best of the best are fun anyways. Also, there's code A.
In conclusion, I bought it anyways, it's still enjoyable and gives me an insane fun/money ratio, unreachable by most if not any other paid broadcasted fun available.

There's no "didn't buy for other reasons" option, so didn't vote. Now that schools started again I just don't have time for games.
|
I bought it, regardless if there's a lot of terran gsl is good as always, I find tvt very enjoyable unless the games are just bad in general which has nothing to do with race. Code A has been really good so far. All the gsl really needs is players that are better at zerg/protoss. I also think it would be pretty good to change the format, I think it's 75% stay in code S? Would be nicer if that number was 50% only those who make it to ro16 stay in, although a system like that doesn't work really well since there's code A as well.

I think the poll is worded very badly and reflecting your personal opinion too much. Neither of the two answers really reflects my position - I didn't get the pass just because it is GSL. TvTs are very interesting and entertaining to watch...and also there are foreigners in GSL which I want to watch as well.
|
I bought it because I thought I wanted to watch Code A. But since most of the foreigners/terrans got knocked out early and I don't care all that much for P/Z (I play terran), I haven't watched more than a handful of Code A games.
However, I have enjoyed Code S so far and I am genuinely psyched for all the ro16 matchups. It's GSL, and it's Tastosis. The Code S Korean terrans (and the remaining Code S zergs) are the best players in the world. TvT and TvZ are two of the best matchups to watch. People like to complain about TvT, but I can't for the life of me figure out why - terran is the most "complete" race and, hence, has the most entertaining mirror. Literally every unit and strategy can be viable - you will see battlecruisers, ravens, nukes, thor drops, etc. It's such a dynamic matchup, and because (unlike the other mirrors) most games are macro oriented, the better players tend to win and advance deep in the tournament, which is great.
EDIT: Also, $10 US for a season pass with commercials is a pittance for the quality of production/gameplay. Code S could be all terrans and I would still buy a pass. If it was all protosses or zergs that might be different, though...
|
I didn't buy it, the major lack of protoss players, or just the mass of terran players left a lot to be desired. I enjoy watching not just for fun but also to learn from other players (preferably the race I play myself) Also starting college doesn't give me as much time as I would like to watch anyway.
|
Uh, Hi. Code A has been more exciting than many major tournaments and is only half over. As well it meets the racial distribution you would desire. Suck it up you'll never find a tournament with better players. If you don't like the TvT, just don't watch. I wouldn't have missed SangHo or CoCa ^^
|
I don't mind TvT as long as it's awesome TvT like Top vs MVP game 1.
|
Code A was worth the price of the ticket this season. If they were seperate buys, I would not have bought a code S. because there is waaaaaaaaay too much TvT. But Code A has rocked, and there are thankfully a handful of non-terran players in Code S still for a few extra games.

But, this isn't GSL/GOM's fault, they can't control what race the top players are using.
As a Protoss, I disagree. I think TvT is pretty interesting. Just not 10 in a row.
|
I bought a ticket for Code A, actually. Most of the players I like watching are in Code A this season, plus there are tons of amazing up and coming players. The only Code S players I watch for are MKP and July.
|
Personally I find TvT very boring to watch, so I won't be purchasing. However I usually pay for a pass to access the HQ/full vods if people recommend a very good series.
|
I'm Terran and got the game 3 weeks ago or so and so I'm still horrible in TvT and could hopefully learn from all the TvTs so so many Terrans are ok for me and I bought a pass.
|
I bought most of the prior tickets, but I really dislike terran (I like every matchup except tvt and tvp). So 20 terrans is way too much for me to buy a season ticket. I would buy it if Tastosis commentated code A or if Moletrap would leave GSL. Same problem as with Kelly, his voice is pitched too high which makes it annoying, but I will stop bashing casters now.
|
I literally won't watch any of the TvT games but I still bought it because a lot of my favorite Zerg players are in it. DRG, NesTea and July are enough to keep me tuning in at least until they're knocked out. I didn't even watch last season's finals though because I'm so sick of watching TvT in the GSL.
|
I find it hard to believe that over 50% of people who bought a ticket for the previous seasons didn't do it this time because of too many terrans. Pretty sure there is a big number of people who never buy a ticket in there.
