Team Liquid is excited to announce that the TSL3 will be streamed in Korea in partnership with GomTV. Starting this weekend, all TSL games will be broadcast to Korean viewers using the same replay-broadcast system as TL. Popular Korean commentator "Gisado" will cast these matches from Seoul and the Korean broadcast will be synced with the main TSL stream to assure that Korean viewers get the same TSL experience as our international audience.



We hope that this move will strengthen the connection between Koreans and foreigners when it comes to Starcraft and Starcraft 2. While the Korean stream will be only be broadcast to Korean IPs, and all other users will need to join us on the official TSL stream here at Team Liquid, we hope that getting together to watch the same tournament will help our two communities come closer together as we follow this game together in the months to come.



This will be the first time that a Korean E-Sports channel broadcasts a foreign Starcraft 2 tournament, and TL applauds GomTV for being so forward thinking in their approach to the game. We value their support and look forward to working closely with them in the months to come.

GomTV provided a basic overview of the TSL3 tournament in their announcement, but did not provide specific details such as a possible Korean announcing team for their videos. Although the announcement came only days before the start of TSL3, Korean Starcraft II fans were already somewhat aware of the tournament through the reporting of the news site PlayXP.com

Why does GOM even need to provide VODs? Does youtube lag in Korea or something?



-stream is unreliable

-they shut down restreams to promote use of the GOM player

-VODs, especially HQ ones, have had terrible audio problems to the point of being unwatchable

Not good at all? How can this be anything but good? Koreans gets to watch it easily, and probably in korean? Not all koreans speak english as you have may noticed.



I think you misunderstand. GomTV isn't taking over the broadcasting, they are only making it available for koreans. Not good at all? How can this be anything but good?

theBOOCH Profile Joined November 2010 United States 832 Posts #11 Awesome. I was just thinking that the way to integrate the Korean and Foreign SC2 scene was for them to have access to foreign tournament coverage. I really hope this means they will be casting them in Korean rather than simply re-streaming them. The next step is to have live Korean casters at the major foreign tournaments like IEM and MLG. I think that would be fantastic. If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

I've had a season ticket since season 1 and they've been improving greatly throughout the seasons.

I've never had issues with the HQ live stream except a 2 minute blackout during theJinro vs MC game where he went mech on LT .

As for the VOD's i havent really noticed any audioissues at all.

Restreaming a television show is pretty much illegal in every country, to take part of free korean TV content and all you have to do to watch it for free is to use their media player, u mad bro? spoiled?

Wow non of this makes any sense to me. Basically what the person above said about them not taking over, rather than they are streaming it is basically right. I for one am VERY happy this is happening. It means more koreans will learn that there is a good non-korean scene out there and may promote more global sc2 rather than "segregated" sc2 where only the pros that go to korea matter.



also

-Stream isn't THAT unreliable

-They don't shutdown re-streams cuz they cant. You can easily find a re-stream of gsl when its happening. Its illegal to begin with, so stop complaining. Life isnt free.

- And ive been buying the premium tickets since season 3 and have NEVER had a hq vod crap out on me. Let alone be unwatchable. My gf's old comp would crap out with HQ because it was bad, perhaps that's the problem? Either way, my personal experience with the vod service has been amazing. No sound issues, and in HQ. Million times higher hq than the stream to boot. Wow non of this makes any sense to me.

They might shut down restreams for a good reason in that it is their property that they are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars every month to provide and want to be able to have accurate numbers to be able to sell advertising to pay for it. Even as someone on a mac who has issues with Gom the reason they do what they do is totally understandable.

No, every time a HQ VOD had audio problems I would check the comments to make sure everyone else was having the same problems as well. No, every time a HQ VOD had audio problems I would check the comments to make sure everyone else was having the same problems as well.
