I think GSL are shooting themselves in the foot here. Would be interesting to see if there is a notable difference in viewer numbers related to the quality change for free viewers.


As far as I can tell they already have lower numbers today than on average (~15-20k). Don't know if it's just a coincidence or not, though.


It probably isn't.

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....

This is clearly an attempt to force money out of avarage EU/NA viewer. I have decided to stop watching GSL compleatly until they give at least medium quality back.

Alright thank you. What Penev linked is really nice.
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.

"GSL have really fucked us over" and "You should sub" really don't mesh well, with me. If you think they've really fucked you over, the last thing in the world you should do is give them money.

According to this site, if I get it right, 720p is only required free for "global events", i.e. not for things like GSL and SPOTV but for somehing like IEMs that want to distribute WCS points. Is that correct?

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.

Well maybe no rules are broken by anyone here, which I initially thought. That doesn't make this much better though.
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.

Indeed. 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).

The only reason why they even have low quality is that Twitch does not have a subscriber-only stream option.

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?

They didn't region block on youtube this time, I really don't mind not hearing the casting but it does suck a big joy out of it.

I'm not subbing to get something better than low. I'll rather sub to SPL and go from High to Source.
