"fragile sport", "supposed to be" and "because your on this website" as you put it being fan of esports is some annoying chore... and i'm here mainly for the korean broodwar leagues, so in all honesty i probably wouldn't watch it for free, but i still find it an outrage that the poor company that is blizzard is making people pay to watch sc2.... when blizzard made an obvious step to create a sc2 proscene, i assumed the business model would be provide some entertainment to a wide audience and make esports attractive so people would buy the game and participate or be progamer "wannabes".... i thought that the esports would be more like a interactive advert to popularize their product and maybe leech some sponsor money. i, however, never thought that they would try to milk the spectators... that is just greedy and short-sighted... EDIT: also a small reminder: your != you are, not being picky but as a non native english speaker it irritates me because i find it very hard to read and have to re-read it couple of times before i get it.  | ||

how much u have to pay for basic needs Having to pay another $hitload to have quality internet - least in my country- all other expenses like gym , going out , rapidshare etc or having a high maintenance girlfriend - for some - having to pay to watch some e sport tourneys as well is ridiculus Maybe in ideally build society whereas wealth flurish and every1 was happy with their ferraris leaving in a hawain Suburb , in that case yea i would pay but not now | ||

Why pay for something that should be free? Edit: Also those saying we who want our free streams are "hurting" the SC2 community are stupid (Nicely put) as tournies should get there money from sponsor companies and live arena spectators much like the NFL/NHL/And other Pro Sports Leagues. | ||

It's a recession, I don't have that much money to dole out. What does ACTIVISION-Bizzard think I am? An automated cash dispenser? | ||

I see how they came to think, hey maybe someone is going to pay us money for that. I hope they fail miserably, but if not, this could end up like soccer in europe. People who care pay to watch and follow all theire favorite teams, players - rest of us has a look at the Worldchampionship and is happy if they recognise the name of some topplayers after 4 years again. Thats so strange - a lot of people won't get huge fanbases. Maybe torch is a fucking great player, may we will never find out. And I am sad I am going to miss Tasteless and Artosis  . And without the covering for the masses, theire won't be sponsors for teams - players in the future - as noone will know theire names - thus making players depend on Gretech.bad discision - No, NO and nO. | ||
