And the reason viewership is so low because of blizzard's design. If anything it is blizzards fault for making GSL do this. Sometimes it feels that people who watch GSL only watch because they are fan of Starcraft- not as an esport. But if you took away the starcraft name and look at the gameplay itself even less viewers would be watching. If its viewership they want lowering the free stream quality is the stupidest thing they can do. Pretty sure they want money not viewership. Yeah totally agree that Blizzard has intentionally designed Sc2 so that few people would want to watch it. Also approve that most people only watch because of the starcraft name, if call of duty was named starcraft I'm sure everyone would watch that instead without noticing a difference. Clever guy | ||

Lets be honest, the GSL is by far the best SC2 show out there. (and probably the most expensive to produce) Yes other shows have good stuff, but really the GSL is were it is. | ||

I prefer Proleague, GSL has 2 casters who wish they were casting other games and is equal in game quality to S2SL, so there's really no reason to watch anymore is there? | ||

I think it is disappointing that butchering the experience is their way of encouraging people to subscribe to them. And even then, you have to pay even more if you want the best quality.. As if it's somehow significantly more costly for them if I use the source quality stream from the twitch server? | ||
