Thanks Twitch, great news!

BUT I don't like that the quality is almost as good as the premium stream with the GOM player. It's almost a waste of money. I wish they would higher the quality of the premium stream instead.

i agree. not that im complaining, but it does seem like the twitch tv quality might be a bit too high. it's nice, but with this, why would you buy the GOM premium.

GOM HQ is still higher quality and you get VODs with the ticket

So this means GOM is no longer offering the SD stream themselves?

That sucks, twitch.tv doesn't work in China.

You have to go through a proxy to contact twitch.tv and get the video feed but the stream itself can go directly to your computer uncensored. You can use Foxyproxy and set a filter for twitch.tv only to achieve this.

In this topic: People complaining about the stream quality being too good...

Lets just assume they know what they are doing. If they notice a big decline in subscriptions they'll take action. And until then just enjoy the quality. For me it's the first time I'm actually able to see more than just a mash and I love it.

I feel like I wasted money buying the HQ pass if they are going to host a stream with this quality for free.

360+ on Twitch is identical to HQ. Please tone the quality down.

That's very nice of you. How about toning the quality of the HQ-stream up?

The MAJORITY of GSL's subscriptions come from people who aren't able to watch it live(school/work/sleeping) and because of that want access to VOD's. The fact that you are complaining that now the free stream is at a quality that you can actually read the supply count throughout the game is quite astounding. Which is just mostly due to twitch's video encoding being better than GOM's.

Quality is great! I can actually read the supply numbers(sort of). I'm actually going to stay up to watch the games because of this. Hope it becomes a standard thing for GOM.

Awesome! This is watchable. If I don't have a HQ Ticket, I download the HQ VODs later. If this is standard, I can start watch Live if I don't buy (10$ 3day tourneys/GSTL)

I think a free twitch stream is good for GOM. For instance they can finnaly get some additional money from it. Twitch has a region dependant ads. Also it looks like GOM player encoding is rather bad since both streams should use the same main feed.

You are paying more for the vods. Also it would be better to improve the hq first.
