ForGG looks really good but I still want to see him against better players. He beat code A, somewhat overrated Toss in Sage. Then he beat Polt, who is a good player I won't argue that. Then he stomped July, who is one of the worst zerg players in the GSL imo; he has no depth to his gameplay, and almost always all-ins.
I want to see ForGG play some more macro games. Of course to get there, someone would have to survive his rushes and pressure. Dunno why the fuck Artosis wants to see him play Nestea though...Nestea is finished. But I want to see him play MMA, MVP, DRG, etc.

Well if ForGG took that group, it would sure shut everybody up.

God seeing all that money upfront makes me sad on how much I spend.
$140 for 2012 GSL + blizzard cup, ad-free, that's way less than I spent in 2011 for ad-free access, nice.
The premium+ monthly subscription is way too expensive, however, just to get GSTL and crap like AOL on top of that. $420/year. Ridiculous, I don't see how that adds up.

The light ticket doesn't give you the Blizz Cup ($10 for the ad version I'm guessing?), dual live streams (during Code A group stage), mobile site livestream/vods, or Korean VODs. Luxury items really unless you take advantage of the mobile stuff.

I don't have cable so I get my money's worth from GSL. The premier SC2 league in the world. I'm waiting for the package with GSTL to become active. I love the team league.
After reading EviLore's comment about the monthly pricing. I have a feeling GSTL is going to be expensive in 2012.

Yes, I personally vastly preferred the old GSTL format. Take a little break from the GSL for a tournament with lots of drama and urgency that's decided quickly. NASL-style, zzzzzzzz.
OH
MY
GOD
WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED
edit: after first glance it seems like the cost actually went up in terms of season to season, that's kind of lame. the gsl+gstl subscription is also reallllllllllllllly expensive.

I wonder if the Korean vods will be full HD.
Somehow I doubt it.
Light for $70 or Premium for $100 are the best annual GSL options IMO.
Premium+ is $40 more than Premium just to get rid of a 30 second ad between games, not worth it IMO.
The monthly subscription $20/month works out to be $240/year but you get GSL, GSTL, Other Tournaments, plus Korean VODs and mobile stream/VODs. The $35/month, $420/year option just to get rid of ads is hilarious, why would you pay an extra $180/year just to skip 30 second ads?
I really don't understand the people who pay for the ad-free options. They're so much more money to avoid 30 seconds of ads between games. It's not like the ads are causing you to miss anything.

Remember when we paid to help improve the stream? Ahh the days...
What is being paid for is English casting. They don't get enough views from foreigners for advertisements to cover the cost of 5 full-time casters plus John the translator.
boiled goose
good with gravy
Not a fan of the ticket options offered...
I just want to watch everything. A yearly fee that includes everything would be the best thing. Not this monthly fee, not this yearly fee without GSTL and AOL.
Options are good, but the option I want is missing.

The $20/month gives you everything, just pretend it's a $240/year everything pack.

So Ill work out a deal with them to pay less for less moletrap.
Man, when I first read the about the new pricing model I was ecstatic that they were finally introducing some options.
But I'm really disappointed right now that the cost per season went up, the cost for every other league went up (which can be seen by the subscription which assumes a discount on other leagues) and there's no mention of any sort of increase in quality for viewers. I've paid for every single season since the beginning and now I'm finally starting to reconsider whether I should be spending this much money on GOMTV :/

So we are paying extra because of Moletrap? Another reason to dislike him.
Fire some casters and make Code A casted by Korean commentator > problem solved / lower price.
how are you seeing the price go up? I mean, I guess if you've paid for all the gsl you'll just do the yearly, which is 100 bucks. that works out less than the 10/month you're already paying. plus now you get the korean commentary, unless we got that before. I never knew, nor really care, but still.
it's pretty obvious gom wants this money up front. hopefully they aren't having money issues.

I like to pay monthly. I don't want to pay them a year in advance for a service (no offence to gom) that isn't guaranteed.
Also if they are having money issues, this is just going to delay them for a short period before they burn and crash since they won't be getting any cash before 2013.

There aren't 12 GSL leagues in a year and I'd MUCH RATHER see improvements to stream quality that they haven't improved for months than access to the higher quality Korean VODs.

This is all you're going to get with the $70/$100 ticket. The $70 ticket doesn't include the mobile access OR the dual streams (the latter part bothers me especially). So essentially you're paying $30 more for next year to access the same amount of content you could this year. The only people who are going to care about Korean VODs are going to be BW-diehards or people who want to watch something in higher quality if we're getting the same 1080p content that the Koreans get.
If you look at the total amount of content this year, excluding the Blizzard Cup, the cost for everything (without ads) was $174.84 without having to pay bulk. Next year, the "everything included" subscription comes out to $240.
This is why I am disappointed. Maybe if they said "720P OR HIGHER WITH NON SHIT BITRATE LIVESTREAM NOW" I'd be more inclined to support higher costs.

Woah, Tastosis twice in a row.
Yep. Don't even need to watch it for the ladies. It's just a great song.

Keens on tonight? Awwwww yeaaaaaa
GSTL is included in my $180~ total for everything. The only new package currently that includes GSTL is the $20/$35 a month package.
the yearly don't include them? It says coming soon, whatever that means.
I mean, i'm not champion gom here. I just don't understand that if you paid for all that last year why you wouldn't just do the yearly for the better deal, that's all.
