League never padded viewer numbers.
It was a rumor that keeps popping up because sheep keep believing it and passing it along.

This will no doubt be the subject of some sort of Gangnam Style parody  seriously though, good job!

Surprised people had so much trouble finding Mokdong Studio. I mean, there's even a visible square of the highschool grounds on Google Maps there. *shrug*
|
this is good news. for those that's been to the studios they'll know that it's actually a lot smaller than it looks on stream.
|
that place is where the casino is, right?
if it is then it must be very tourist friendly.
|
This is good for GSL. When I visited I was surprised at how local it felt for something so many people watched around the world, it felt odd walking through neighborhoods to get to GSL inside a school 
Very tourist friendly. Closer to other attractions. Big plus
|
GSL stepping up its game, good to hear
|
Awesome, but I really hope Starcraft 2 will remain the main focus. But who knows.
|
this is a really nice location, right next to the stations and other big facilities.
|
Cool, sounds like GOM must be doing at least alright if they can make what seems to be an upgrade in venue.
Insert Gangnam Style joke.

Taxi drivers also hated driving to Mokdong =[

GSL relocating, HD broadcast equipment and new games.
Together with their already huge capacities to run streams to a lot of concurrent viewers (bandwidth) this is going to get very interesting.
GOMTV gogogo! I see a bright future ahead of you.

Wait.. If they don't have HD equipment right now, then how are they broadcasting in HD? Is that why Twitch is only 360P and 540P?
/half sarcasm. They're not. Even IPL5 had interlacing issues because it seems the gear they have involves some crazy upscaling and conversion of some sort. I would think that they just flat out don't have the latest HD gear, which I suppose makes sense. If I'm not mistake, Korea still uses a lot of 4:3 TVs, so things haven't had any reason to really move at a great pace in that regeard.
That's not true at all.
Asia picked up HDTV technology a lot faster than elsewhere. When HDTV was first popularised in Hong Kong (all were FHD unless it is the ~20inch ones), England was stucked in those so called "HDTV" which actually offered 720p only, it wasn't until later when the term FHD came out to avoid the confusion.
you can't really buy those old style TVs anymore in the electronic store.

This could also be an indication they want to hold more events at COEX like they did with a GSL Finals as the studio will be closer to the venue. Loving the movie since it's closer to my home in Korea, much more accessible to get to.

They embedded stream in their client, which is padding viewer numbers.
