You can always watch the Youtube (Korean) video.
If you get a region-block (as I do), there are browser extensions like Hola http://hola.org/ that allow you to proxy around the world (pretend that you're viewing from Korea).

Thanks but it's says their server is down..

Edit: *Korean

I'm currently watching the Youtube stream, everything seems to work fine.


link please


You can use Hola to get around the region-block.

thanks. It's much better ♥

I guess if you're very emotional about your GSL, you could have a point. Personally I can't equate the two.

lol, appreciating basic courtesy is being "emotional"?? you're either trolling or have a very bizarre conception of what it is to be "emotional," but i'm not really invested at all in whether you agree with my analogy so i'm not going to pursue it

I might be an outlier, but to me a statement wouldn't change a thing. I would still get low quality. Different opinions are fun though! ;P

If GOM is run by people who think that this is even remotely a good business decision, I fear the worst for that company.

MLG has done this before aswell right? where they locked the remainder of the tournament behind a paywall, at least that is what i can remember.

I'm just happy SpotTV exists and GSL has no monopoly on Korean sc2 .

SPL and SSL prvoide a lot to watch and nobody is forced to pay Gom, if they want high quality content. A very poor decision by them imo and I hope it does not work out for them.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

They did one or two "online audience only" tournaments that required viewers to pay to watch. I don't think it was all that succesful.

As much as an increasing amount of people enjoy esports, it's clearly not gotten to the point where a majority of people are willing to pay for it.

This way they ruin the best tournament for thousands of people who are wandering between SC2 and many other competitive PC games.
- Probably they want to push away their SC2 viewers for something else?

If they don't want to make people go away they should reconsider different payment options and additional features not only abusing the stream quality.
We live in years when the ecommerce is so advanced and they stick to the 2010 realm.

When selling stuff online (especially a service like this one), they need to exceed expectations.
They want us to pay $13.99 for something that others give for free (e.g. SSL), or that they used to give for free. Their customers aren't gonna be happy.

In addition, we would be paying for the quality of the stream and not much else. That's not exceeding expectations... Exceeding expectations is what they used to do: we can pay to ask questions to the players in post-match interviews, many people can't be in the studio, so subs could send their cheerfuls to an e-mail and they could be shown on stream, they could do lottery where x subs per GSL get to play/talk/get coached by a professional player/the champion/the runner-up, there's SO much monetisation potential there!

But no instead they decrease quality to 240p and I ain't watching that shit.
The more I practice, the luckier I get!

If you aren't subscribed, then you aren't really a customer. This affects people who weren't subscribers, people who they did not monetize at all. Judging by how many people subscribed today, it works. Yes, in terms of bringing in new viewers for sc2, it's a bad long term move. However, GOM as a company needs to survive short time.
