I know how you feel. It's 5:49 AM. I have a class in 3 hours. Hope GOM does make things better though. At least it shows people are watching, right? It shows people are TRYING to watch, Im just raging cuz the stream cut out in the middle of Jinros game and Ive spent 20 minutes trying to get it to work, and im pissed cuz its nearly 5 A.M. and ive been waiting all day for this match. IM just saying that Gom KNOWS theres a problem but have yet to fix it. How is it or 'esports' supposed to grow when u cant even watch the game do to a reoccuring problem? | ||

For perspective, can you tell us how many nights it has worked well vs how many nights you haven't been able to watch? (be honest!) | ||

No one is obligated to give you a certain quality of service unless you're a paying customer. You don't outright deserve streams of these games just because they exist. GOM and Blizzard are spearheading the enterprise, an enterprise that I'm sure you enjoy. So instead of raging and complaining that the site is down you should be patient and grateful that Starcraft 2 is streamed for your enjoyment free of charge. I hate these kinds of posts, the fact that they're getting more common makes me think that in 10 years the only thing it will be acceptable to complain about is complainers. | ||

IMO, if you paid for the season ticket, then you have a right to rage (though you can always watch the games from VODs). However, if you're watching the free low-quality stream, then you just need to appreciate that GOM providing a free streaming service in the first place. | ||

Ok I will be honest I will say that if GSL streams 5 nights a week, I get crashes at least 2 nights for at least 20-30 min each and sometimes I cant get the stream to work again. My problem tonight is that I really wanted to see Jinros games, and Ive been working evenings lately so I dont watch as much of the GSL as I did last year (which was every day) I understand that the streams work a lot more than it doesn't but all im saying is that the problem is there and happens often 2 out of 5 nights with a crash doesnt seem acceptable for a major tournament like this. | ||

If the complaint is well thought out then it would make more sense for the complaint to be engaged. But the OP is entirely composed of frustration. GOMTV doesn't want restreams and that is completely reasonable since they want to be able to better gauge their viewers. It is awesome that Starcraft 2 is being streamed and that powerful organizations like Blizzard, Intel and Pepsi are behind it. Dealing with traffic is part of the growth of eSports so its unreasonable for someone to expect GOMTV to be perfect every night and in every way in that regard. So, I think my post is fine. I'm not saying its not fine to complain about things but to rather bring actual arguments to the table if you actually want to be taken seriously. Edit: Also I realize this is a blog and is probably just for someone to vent, but venting to the public invokes public opinion from either side. | ||

It's generally 50:50 for me. The real issue here is that the big games bring more viewers which brings a lot more crashes. So the 50% the site crashes on are the important 50% to me. I paid for the sole purpose of having the HQ stream because I have a TV I connect my computer to so I actually notice a difference. Any time someone like Nada/Jinro/MKP/MC play you can almost expect the site will crash at least once that night, and because of Murphy it will always be during a pinnacle moment. | ||
