Paid for a yearly ticket which was $115, and I don't even get GSTL or AOL. Disgraceful by GOM............. | ||

If I can use the World Cup as an example, it might be easier to explain. If the World Cup went purely by FIFA rankings, Korea would never be able to play, and it would have become a tournament that only South America and Europe enjoyed. South Korea is currently #32 in FIFA rankings, they might be able to go to world cup anyway if it's based on rankings  . But yea, that's still a good analogy. if TeamLiquid wanted to hold a poll and submit an idea to us, we would be open to using that idea for a tournament as well. Let's to this! I want to see team 2v2 AoL showmatches! | ||

I much prefer the play style seen in gauntlet-style tournaments like the GSTL and MLG, where players need to use their general skill to win games in unpredictable situations. | ||

The lack of any remotely investigative journalism in SC2 reporting is really really bad. | ||

On a side note, why do they the account stuck at one post ? as opposed to hiding it like they do on some mods? | ||

I think it's good tho,GSL had imo a overblown prize pool which I feared can not be sustained. | ||

We're all just Starcraft fans/players. Nationality does not matter. | ||

The lack of any remotely investigative journalism in SC2 reporting is really really bad. Why would they need to? GOMTV already released an announcement regarding the situation soon after it happened here. | ||

Why is anyone worked up over this? He never tried to argue that the prize money hasn't decreased lol. He said in 2011 there was a need for Gom to support players by giving out prize money and in 2012 there isn't that need so they can go into a different direction. | ||

1. Why can't you just admit that NaNiwa had been punished through the revoking of his Code S seed for probe rushing a meaningless game? Your alternative explanation that he had no seed in the first place seemed a bit crazy because it broke the agreement of the League Exchange Program, and seemed more like an insult to the first (and only) non-Korean that would have earned a seed through the system. 2. Any plans to provide restreams of the GSL for Western audiences? Us Europeans are a bit pissed off with being required to watch in late morning and I'm sure a lot of Americans are pissed off with having to watch extremely early morning? 3. Any plans to improve the GSL format some more? In particular Code A where your odds of being eliminated from the GSL depend on the opponent you face (In the case of NaNiwa, he faced Lucky (known to have near unstoppable ZvP).... TWICE IN A ROW each time he did earn a Code A seed.) I feel a Ro48 group stage is a necessity to actually more fairly determine who should remain in the GSL.. 4. Any plans to ditch GOM Player as a requirement for HQ streaming? You know..... because Twitch TV is more convenient, has a better SQ stream, lets you place a paywall on certain qualities, doesn't require you to run external software to view and is more popular outside of South Korea. Oh and also because every other major tournament uses a browser based flash livestream. 5. In response to the NASL finally promising free VODs in Season 3 and with successful leagues such as Major League Gaming, IGN Pro League, Dreamhack, WCG, ESWC etc offering free ad supported videos on demand. Will GOMTV finally do what every other major tournament has done and remove the paywall from VODs? | ||
