This. I hope that the coorperation will continue onto the next year of GSL seasons (and GSTL of course)!
I also hope that they up the stream quality and this comes from somebody who rarely (once a month or so) watches the stream and buys all the tickets to watch the vods (and is gladly to do so because it is the highest level of game). Lately I've been kind of irritated on how GOM treats the non-Korean community compared to the Korean community and I hope that they will be more considerate to their fans outside of Korea.

How have they been inconsiderate? Did i miss something?

so this is the first time i'm able to watch a gom event during uni. thanks a lot twitchtv!
|
Very smart move by Gom.
I think this will be the standard for future Gom events.
|
GSL on TwitchTV? Yes, please.
I found the quality was on par with other leagues who also have premium services which is not the case with the normal free SQ from gomtv.net. It's a shame if they're gonna lower it tomorrow.
|
THANK YOU! I can finally watch some GomTV content, the player never seems to work on my computer. I hope they try do the same with HD (for the same price as on GomTV of course)
|
Cool, now I can watch the GSL from my phone!
|
In terms of quality for people wondering btw:
Gom HQ > Twitch "360+" >>> Gom SQ
|
I really hope this continues for the rest of GSL. I can never watch GSL because the gom player doesnt work on my mac for whatever reason. It's the biggest deterrent of why I never watch the GSL despite the fact that I watch most of the other big tournaments.
|
too bad I still can't watch the vods so none of this really mattered to me |:

The fact that Koreans get free 1080p and "foreigners" get a free stream that has the supply counts barely readable throughout the game. The bare minimum should be readable supply counts throughout the game. Anything above that and if they feel like they need to charge so be it. You should be able to read all the information on screen easily (without deciphering pixel blocks).
You don't bring in new people and get new subscribers if your introductory product just makes people immediately turn it off because of the crappy quality. People already invested in SC2 will put up with crappy quality to see their favorite players, the same cannot be said about someone without any prior exposure.

Can you make a Re-Broadcast for this poor side of the world?...the occidental part I mean..
|
If twitch.tv can do the same for GSL/GSTL, I would have your babies. It will be awesome to finally watch GSL live with my ipad.
|
If you love Esports so much just buy a GOMTV ticket with ads guys seriously its 10 bucks for 1 event dont be so cheap.

Koreans "pay" for their 1080p stream with Ads. Quite a few ads actually. One of the ways twitch might profit from the Gomtv cooperation (and Gom as well) is easier access to western sponsors who want to buy Ad space.
If they cut a Twitchtv ad between the games (please not between the sets) while the screen is "paused" (the "coming up next XY" screen) they could make enough money to make a 480 stream worth it from the ads alone.

Nice!! Finally watchable on Android
|
Meh, good stuff, but still can't watch because of time difference and don't want to pay $10 for one small tourney...so thx ,but idc
|
Just wondering, if this were to be the case with a regular GSL season, how would tickets work? Would they still have to buy the ticket to watch via twitch? I'm assuming so, or else they wouldn't be flirting with this idea.

Twitch has a built-in ticketing system that a broadcaster can use to unlock access to higher quality streams and VODs. It's exactly what NASL uses for their broadcasts. And I assume that GOM and Twitch could work out a custom-made solution if GOM decides to move more of their broadcasting over to Twitch. They'd become one of the largest users of Twitch overnight.
