    How can someone so stupid be in charge of these setups? How can they be CHARGING and making it SO inconvenient for people to watch SC2 online...

    Yeah, let's choke off and kill eSports for SC2 before it even gets a toehold.

    They should be proliferating FREE MATCHES EVERYWHERE to get the most attention as possible, not limiting it to PPV passes and other various bull**** schemes of making the quick bucks.

    Quit caving into this pressure, Blizzard!

    You can watch the live stream for free. Its pretty common that VODS cost money, and that's what GSL does. NASL took some notes from GSL with the "best quality" and VODS being available to paying customers.

    It's free but you've gotta download a terrible, terrible program in order to watch it. Which throws ads and spyware on your PC. Great. Awesome. Yeah making it REAL accessible...

    I dunno if this will solve your problem, but here's a thing. Livestreams, no program, in-browser, and cool interface.

    I dunno if it does anyone famous, and all the streamers are just in a big list on the bottom
    BUT
    It might be useful for someone, sometime, somehow.

    EDIT: Ok, I think it does big ones too, I'm prrrrretty sure I'm watching Destiny.

    I love warp-prism, it's quite handy to use(I wanted to make a thread about it, it was quite cool) but isn't this a gsl rant? :p

    Yeah I've heard of re-streams of GSL but they're cracked down on pretty hard. Let's leave it for the record that I'm willing to risk someone's wrath.

    If you've got a re-post of HQ streams that are PPV go ahead and post them on this site.

    I'm also not super mad because the finals were TERRIBLE lol.

    IMNestea absolutely destroyed Inca. Not even a contest 4-0.

    I pretty much expected as much, Nestea was awesome throughout the series while inca just cheesed good, but didn't show anything really solid... I did expect something like a 4-1 or 4-2 though, not 4-0... Gotta watch though, even this one-sided it's nice to see what they did...
