It's a shame the ticket I bought during the Hot6 cup won't count. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the people who were planning to buy yearly tickets already had.

cool idea. wonder if the price cut will be offset by the increased amount of ticket purchases. I'd guess not fully since I'm not sure if anyone would buy a ticket because of this who wouldn't otherwise. like the idea of it though

my guess is there trying to increase ticket sales so they probably waited until most of the usual buyers would have bought one. .

Yeah, I bought my ticket during Hot6ix Cup also. But I don't see anywhere where it says that previously purchased tickets don't count for this (though maybe the fact that it's still at 10,000 means they don't).

So is this the closest that GOM has ever done to publicly releasing a subscriber count? Should be interesting to see whether they can really manage to garner $150,000 in ticket sales

Where does it say that previous subscription purchases wont count towards the super tournament? Either way I've yet to buy one since I was hoping to buy 1 season at a time but I guess they removed that option?

Do you really think they've only sold $2000 worth of tickets so far? They've been available for over a month if not more. The season starts in 13 minutes and if they've only sold that many tickets, well that's bad news.

I will buy two (additional) tickets if GOM stops using twitch. The HOT6ix cup was torture.
why?

Honestly if they had only sold 2000 dollars worth of tickets, I wouldn't think they would want to give some of it away to the players :S

Given how many times Gom has burned people who have bought tickets for other events only to make them free down the line, I'm not sure how many people will buy into this. I will give them credit on the price though. A yearly ticket now is cheaper than I remember it being.

I actually really miss the GOM Player, but twitch works ok for me most of the time.

I think it's dumb that GOM didn't announce this a week earlier. I bought my yearly ticket today, and reading the fine print for the event says that the purchase has to be from January 15th to April 15th. I'm not going to cancel my subscription just to remake it one day later, and it sucks that my contribution won't count towards the prize pool.

Edit: On the other hand, I guess it depends on who's date their using. The Korean date is the 15th so maybe my ticket will count? This is actually probably the case now that I think about it.

Making people install software on their computer is usually a bad idea.

Their in-house web streaming was fine though, since it was the same thing, but without the software.

I prefer twitch of the two just because their in-house one lagged even more than twitch does, for me.

This will be interesting to see how much it contributes. has anyone else done this besides the SC2L? MLG did something similar for Dota 2 right?
