Shack PSA: StarCraft 2 GSL Tournament has Begun
by Brian Leahy, Sep 07, 2010 2:20pm PDTIf you're looking for some StarCraft II tournament action, this is your friendly reminder that the first month-long GomTV GSL tournament has begun in Korea. If you're up for staying up late, a low-quality stream is available for free during the matches. Subscribers gain access to a high-quality stream.
After the games are played, archived VOD versions of the games are also posted. The first game of each match--best two out of three at this stage--is available for free, while subscribers will get game two and three (if needed). English commentary is provided on all videos by Nick "Tasteless" Plott and Daniel "Artosis" Stemkoski.
Several non-Korean players have qualified and are competing for the prize money. They include IdrA, TLO, Artosis, and newcomer TorcH.
One-off passes can be purchased for a single night of live broadcasting. The prices are currently discounted for the "pre-season," which includes the four monthly tournaments being held in 2010. The real seasons kick-off in 2011. A bundle for high-quality live streams and full VOD access can be purchased for $19.95, but could increase to around $50 in 2011.

They had an issue in the first half of the very first game where they were streaming the wrong computer to the feed (so the guy controlling it wasn't showing very interesting stuff), which makes a pretty poor first impression, but from that point on it's great.

since the games are in the mornings here when I'm at work I don't really care for live streams, I just hope they don't increase the vod prices too much next year.
