Hmm... hmm... 7,5$ / month for the source.... I think I'll take it, i'm a working adult afterall.


and vods or?


Everybody will have acces to VoDs eventually, as Gom is going to upload them to their youtube about 2 weeks after air date unless they for some reason decided not to anymore.

This will be interesting to see how much it contributes. has anyone else done this besides the SC2L? MLG did something similar for Dota 2 right?

Interesting experiment. GLHF


That isn't even an experiment, they just put it directly into the players for the first time. GSL/WCS has been/is heavily Blizzard funded and the global stream subscription have always been used to pay tastosis/wolfdor and run the global stream. I guess they are making enough now to put some of it into the prize pool.

I can't see that working out with such a high starting price. The point of crowdfunding is to build hype and get the crowd to fund it. There ain't gonna be much of a crowd at $55-$90.

Starladder sold ~300k worth of tickets for season8. thats an extra 75k+ xtra to the prizepool making it ~130k+.
MLG also sold ~280k worth of cosmetics (ticket free) thats an extra 70k+ making it 120k+
TI3 was madness sold ~5 MILLION USD which added ~1.25 million to the base pool of 1.6m making it nearly 2.9m prizepool. (for a tournament that lasted ~10 days)

TI3 paid for itself +production costs +plenty of free publicity +goodwill from fans and valve made millions extra and dota fans feel good about themselves (yes i was one of the suckers but hey i like it)

$90 for lunch? Please, I consume caviar by the gallon!

While I agree with everyone that they should have an option for a smaller dollar amount, I'll still probably end up paying the $55 anyway -_-

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?


seems twitch is having problems with the vods, look here:

I would had bought a ticket if their was vods this year, I always watch the vods, never live. It would be enough if they had same vod system as before but instead the player on their page was embedded twitch vods, navigating on twitch is horrible and spoils everything (not to even count the fact the stupid progressbar never hides completly it always shows on twitch vods)

Whatever. Bought yearly ticket last year only to have it free as Blizzard took over. Sure I got VODs but still not worth the full premium ticket price!

White-collar professional in a large metropolitan city? You'll never see that kind of prices for lunch in London unless you are literally so high up the company/government, that the company/government pays your lunch for you. It's even beyond parliament minister levels now. I am talking high management/senior official levels here.

I'm mid-level managment at best and get my lunch bought for me. You might be surprised at how easy it is to write things off (Seinfeld reference anyone?). Anyways, appitizers + entre + 2 beers = lots of money. Lunch was $220 yesterday but that was for 4.

EDIT - my main point is that its not a lot especially for the amount of content. I mean... a friggin' movie will set you back $30 if you bough popcorn and a pop with the ticket.
why?
