I am sick of too much TvTs. I play protoss and I think it is normal that you prefer to watch your own race, but that was not often the case the last months.  | ||

I did buy an MLG Gold Membership, which I think is literally worth its weight in Gold for a one year pass to the HD Stream and VODs. I think I will skip NASL Season 2, since the HD stream lagged so bad in Season 1, and didn't perform well for me for the first week in Season 2 if I remember correctly. | ||

I did pay for Arena of Legends though. EDIT: TvT is also my favorite mirror match up, I don't know why noobs are always complaining about a mirror match just because it can actually last longer than 10 minutes.  | ||

MVP- Bomber, Clide-Ryung, DRG-Supernova, Ganzi-Leenock are all great matchups. Happy-Losira will also be probably entertaining. Coca-Killer, MMA-asd, Nestea-Virus are probably going to be one-sided ones. The potential Ro8 lineup this season seems great as well MVP-Nestea or Bomber-Nestea Losira-Coca DRG-Leenock or DRG-Ganzi Ryung-MMA (Clide will go in Ro16 as always) | ||

Plus GOM player gets massive exposure too, and it even uses your bandwidth to peer2peer to other watchers so their bandwidth cost is less. So the product to the national fans is only including mainly Tasteless/Artosis wages as any extra i guess. I feel like it's just kinda lame when we are used to free streams and that business model worked fine, not to mention this is heavily involved by Blizzard and basically one constant publicity drive for their product in the first place. If the money just paid for the casters that would be cool but who knows really, just pisses me off to see money going for useless crap instead of the people that need it, the players!! I really want a way to get money to teams basically, maybe buy stuff like shirts or whatever. I feel thats supporting in the correct way. I understand paying for HD VODs i guess but less than that? Everyone involved (Blizz, Sponsors and Gretech) is benefiting enough easily to be a bit more generous and possibly help long term growth at the same time. Sorry bit ranting there. But i just feel like it's not actually helping who i think needs help in this scene? | ||

If its even worse next season I might just not buy one. And this is coming from someone who bought every ticket so far (I had AoL for free) On September 29 2011 02:16 infinity2k9 wrote: + Show Spoiler + I wouldn't buy a pass anyway but i would love to support the eSports i watch, unfortunately not an option. Anyway getting onto my point, it annoys me a lot that it's mainly a Korean product, with things like k-pop groups that must cost a lot of money. And there's big sponsors like Pepsi and LG right too so money shouldn't be an issue (Blizzard in too i assume?) I don't feel like the foreigner money is going in the interests of eSports.

I can understand if you're just too cheap to pay or just don't want to watch too many TvT but don't try to blame GOM for it. That's what I see you trying to do. | ||

They're giving nearly 2M$ (yeah, 2 millions dollars) a year to players....I don't understand why you say what you say. | ||

There's just too many tournaments and not enough buildup for each one. If instead of every month, what if they had a GSL every 3-4 months? It would allow us time to build up story and hype. Up the prizes, drag it out, make all series a best of 5 or more, play a round 32 man round robin season or something. Some of us don't have the time to follow all of it anymore. | ||

Is it GOM's fault that the top players chose Terran as their race? They've already modified maps to not have close positions, put depots at the bottom of ramps, removed/added new maps. What else do you want them to do, just randomly boot the terran players from code S and add more Z and P? I can understand if you're just too cheap to pay or just don't want to watch too many TvT but don't try to blame GOM for it. That's what I see you trying to do. Uhhhh this assumes he MUST buy GOM in the first place? How the hell do you manage to come up with this attitude. They sell a product, if you don't think it's entertaining then don't buy it. TvT isn't their fault but it is less entertaining when it's prevalent, so sorry but that means people won't buy the product. | ||
