I will probably get one, but the pricing is really quite expensive.

Yeah... until GOM fixes their VOD mess...



definitely a mess. their youtube is impossiblee to navigate and groups only have Code S Ro16 through finals. everything else you have to manually search for or go through every video they have. plus pre 2012 isnt even up. I've tried to go through a bit and link them on liquipedia. but I don't have a ton of time and all I've done so far is 2012 GSL season 3 code s RO16 through the finals since it was pretty simple with playlists.

ti3, mlg, starladder is the 3 i think that did the same, all with extremly good results. Its probably easier in dota tho since the tickets are both cheaper and you can add item sets / battle bonus thingy.

I wish the tickets were cheaper, so they could go for thousand of micro transactions rather than hundreds of large ones. I could pay 20, but 55 is steep

So is there a way to upgrade from the Yearly Subscription to the Premium Sub? And does anyone know if doing this would count towards the prize pool? Just want to know if I have to pay the full amount over again after already buying the Yearly amount...

And for the Premium sub it comes out to $7.50 a month for the year at $90.00 so it's really not that expensive when you don't think about it in the lump sum. And the Yearly comes out to ~$4.60 a month.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

It's $55 for the entire year though, which is pretty cheap if you think about it That's less than $5 a month.

What's the difference between 55$ and 90$ tickets? 5 emoticons, golden(instead of silver) sub icon?
Ohh.... You have to pay 90$ for the source quality?

Yeah but consider the face value of subbing is perhaps a lot in wanting to support gom rather than utilitarian value of the sub itself so thinking in a different metric doesn't work. I also agree that they're making millions when they could be making billions, or so to speak, especially when they had GSL, GSTL and special events all on different tickets.

I want to support esports! I really do. But 55 bucks is what I'd pay for necessities or something tangible that could improve my quality of life. 15 to 20 bucks is the sort of money I'd blow on impulse buys of video games on steam or digital music I fancy a lot. If they priced it around there, I would have bought a ticket every season and gave them more money than what I have with the 1 yearly ticket I bought once and really thought wasn't worth it because I still felt locked out of a ton of content and got to watch the streams anyway.

Just my two minerals...

So after Blizzard removed the Season finales, GOM comes in a makes their own season finale? That would be really shame if this was a tier 3 event, seeing as it has the most difficult qualifiers imaginable

I just found out that Code A starts in a couple of minutes - shame I am in the train, but I am so happy that GSL will be on again! All the other content we get is great, but GSL is GSL!

really wish there were lesser tiers, I feel like they'd get more money if they could start at something less than $55

I've just bought a yearly ticket, where can I find the VOD's to this mornings Code A games?!

EDIT: I'm looking everywhere so I must be missing something. Is it somewhere really obvious that I haven't thought about?

I wish there was something I could buy for say... 10 bucks. 50+ usd as the cheapest product is quite extreme and disallows me from supporting this :-(

For 55$ no VODS?!!!
Or VODs in High quality at least?

Because only in the 90$ it says Access to VODs. And the only reason i might buy one is for VODs, i cannot watch GSL because of work TT
