Hey guys,
Me and Eishi_Ki were playing League of Legends together Monday night here and we were just talking about how much fun we used to have at 신촌 station at Jason Lee's place, Yaletown. We were both craving a burger and since Eishi_Ki leased an apartment near Yaletown for the sole purpose of being able to barcraft with us at that restaurant regularly, I figure we should collectively find a reason to go visit and tell Jason to shut up and take our money.
Personally, I would love that Mushroom burger with the Poutine deal again.
Monday and Tuesday are the Lunar New Year, which is a big deal in Korea, so Yaletown probably won't be open... but I was wondering if we can find some time this week to meet up and have lunch or dinner. (Lunch is a lot cheaper, though)
Any ideas on a date? Personally, I'm on vacation from my job all this week and so I have all the time in the world to play here.
Regards,

Aye, sole purpose hahaha
In srsness, would be good to have another meetup, if you're in Seoul and you fancy meeting some handsome fellows, post it up and we will get something arranged

Believe it or not, I recently received an email from GOM TV asking me NOT to host Barcrafts anymore. I then asked for a refund on my 1 year pass, which I paid for if I'm not allowed to host them and they abliged.
Therefore I will no longer be PROMOTING Barcrafts. If you would like to informally gather and ask me to turn on the TV to your favourite programs under your account, I can accomodate that.
As for the reasoning behind GOM's email, I have NO Idea at all...

Lol GOM.
Why don't you invite In_Dove to have some drinks with you lucky fellas in Seoul? (if he resides in Seoul)

wtf GOMTV... is that really Mr. Chae's stance?

Oh my god... Gom is killing esports...

GOM banning barcraft... do they really think they lose out on account buyers/studio audience because of the occasional barcarft? Whoever's behind this needs their head checked.
I'm up for meeting up, especially for the burgers. Although I'd prefer dinner and a few beers.

I don't think that they realize that a lot of people that go to Barcrafts buy tickets, and go to live events...
/facepalm

Gasp........ terrible GOM wtf.

Banning Barcraft because you're afraid people will skimp out on tickets is even stupider in Seoul, considering attending the matches live are free too. Are they going to ban people from coming to the studio because they'd rather have those people stay home and pay to watch? Ridiculous.
|
I would say that GOM is probably trying to force more foreigners to show up to the live matches; but that was not a problem when I was there and to boot, they don't have enough space.

It's understandable.
If one barcraft gets 80 people to watch on one stream they lost 79 viewers, now imagine there were 10 barcrafts in korea. Roughly 700 "potential" viewers lost.
They have to fight for each viewer and barcrafts work against that. People don't realize that when there are thousands of people watching but they only generate like 100 views it's pretty dumb(for the event). Just think of the real numbers; people are always complaining about how sc2 gets less viewers than LoL, yet they forget that barcraft take away viewers. (Viewers as in numbers)

This should simply be taken into consideration when comparing stream numbers. That's about it. As far as GOM's stance on the matter, it's pretty stupid. Maybe they are in the process of making special accounts that have the right to stream to an audience that are more expensive (and not sold on the main page - there would be little reason for that). But unless that's where GOM is heading, then their stance is just dumb.

Wow.... I don't even know what to think about that....
It's weird that Blizzard seems so into the whole BarCraft movement that they even spotlight them no battle.net....
I home GOM reverses this.... it would suck that if in Korea you couldn't do something like this...

I don't see why they wouldn't just try to charge a license fee rather than attempt to shut them down.
