For major tournaments riot re skins their client to focus solely on the tournament in question and in that re skin there is a huge link that people can link that brings them to the screen. That is NOT padding viewers | ||

So there's much office space that competes with each other to be rented out. Although this is directly on famous Teheran Boulevard, thus prime real estate. But apparently GOM/Gretech already had their head offices there anyway. | ||

They don't seem to have a lot of sponsors, and surely the GSL subscriptions cannot cover the entire cost of running the business? But GOM seems to somehow do it, so all power to them! Sponsors? I don't think you understand how a company works... | ||

It costs over $100 for a yearly subscription, and that's just for the GSL. If they have 10,000 subscribers that's a million dollars. This isn't counting people who buy monthly passes or passes for the GSTL. They also have an in house studio and don't have to offer airfare for the star players like IPL or MLG. This drastically cuts down on operation costs. Imagine if MLG did all their production from their NYC offices and only had a live SC2 tournament for the final 4. The GOM player is the de facto media player in Korea. They have the backing of a very large corporation. I doubt they've been struggling for the past 2 years. | ||

Yes, but that is only for the people outside of Korea, right? Or do the Koreans also have to pay, if they want to watch GSL? | ||

By the way, GSL do have a sponsor, if one watch the recent GSL in twich, he would surely notice its Hot6. And before, that, they had others like LG and Pepsi | ||
