Hola uses its users as its proxies for other people...so its possible that someone on the other side of the planet cld be using Hola and Hola uses your computer to view material that is illegal and or fucked up...and the finger would be pointed at u... it is unlikely....but possible....

I really dont want to support their decision to keep the foreign stream behind a paywall but make the kr stream free. No sub from me this year. | ||

Is that correct? http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en/articles/2015-starcraft-ii-world-championship-series Yes, silly isn't it? | ||

Well it's silly from Blizzard's part, but it seems like we can not blame the GSL here. We have no idea what their sponsors require them to do. Maybe it's not their decision at all? I just wanted to point out that there are, unfortunately, no rules broken by anyone here. | ||

I would probaby have subbed GSL but at the moment I refuse, GSL is starting to risk its place as the most prestigious tournament and this move does NOT help them one bit. | ||

Plus the way they went about it was really douchebaggy. But we're circle jerking now; This was already posted several times (not that I mind but yeah). | ||

They want to get rid of everyone who doesn't pay up. One time or another GSL will have to realize how archaic their monetization is. There are many, much more expensive events with much bigger prize pools that are being paid entirely out of sponsorships, non-subscriber advertisements and other non-intrusive forms of monetization. | ||

The question is: Would these events be profitable if they'd only host SC2? | ||
