I'm confused at his reply also, mokdong was almost always full to the brim with spectators

+ the new HD equipment was what was holding back the other studio, 540p for example being their 1080p

loool thats because it can only hold like 50ish people.

1080p finally. The quality feels a little off some times. Even I paid for EHQ.

GOM already did LoL.

Maybe because it wasn't a main league, but SC2 got more viewers that week on the international and Korean GOM website than the Korean IPL qualifiers. I don't see GOM kicking SC2 to the side as the #2. Especially when OGN already pretty much owns the LoL market in Korea.

Also, just in terms of who GOM can make more off of, if it's just Korean teams in a GSL Proleague/tournament, I don't see it selling well. Could change if GOM could get a TSM or EG to play in their team league. I think it'd do better in Korea over SC2, but GOM already has a faithful fanbase that buy tickets and have gotten used to paying for 99% Korean and maybe a foreigner once in a blue moon.

With LCS, I highly doubt top tier NA/EU teams like TSM or EG would move to Korea for several months. That said, I doubt it's worth bringing in any "B-tier" foreign teams for GOM's LoL league. So it'll likely be Korean only at this point.

I'm happy for them on the new studio but hopefully they follow through with a higher resolution broadcast. They claim 1080p but 720p would be fine for me for the subscription cost.

An answer someone got when asked about the current state of their stream quality:

"Dear #####,
We are working on improving the stream quality for our foreign fans but are limited in the required equipment at the moment.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
GOMTV.net Support Team"

Looks like GOM likes us foreigners. Even more happy to pay if it´s 1080p in the future.
Real downscaled 720p should look awesome, too, since it´s done with the right equipment. The interview room from Ironsquid had an extremely impressive 720p downscale (the one where the hilarious transitions happened), my mouth was open several times. 720p can look very very good.

Maybe we even get 720p 60fps? Who knows. Let´s hope we can get some more details, soon.

Depends on what method of transport. Subway's okay because Hongdae is on the green line, taxi is a bitch though - especially in traffic.

I think you can pretty much expect them to adjust everything to the looks of HotS. It is going to be a new start after all.
