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. | ||

MLG did something similar for Dota 2 right? 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. | ||

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. | ||

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... | ||

![]() 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! | ||

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 | ||
