So i was wondering what you get for your 20$?
How long does it allow you to access live and VOD videos?
I just cant seem to find alot about it on their webpage.
I dont mind spending the 20$ but i would like it to be for a good purpose. Are the videos comintated? is there more then just SC2 games on video?
and for 20$ you can watch VOD(video on demand, meaning you can watch any video any time?)
and their live stream

I'll share the little bit I know
Yes the videos are commentated, and you get access to higher quality videos I believe. I believe you get both an HQ commentated live stream and HQ on demand vods. Don't know how long it takes to activate though.

There are no HQ VODs. It's LQ VODs for now. You can access them at any time. The live stream is HQ, and has better bandwidth and support than the free LQ stream.

well i rly dont care about hq or lq right now, i just wana know how long ill get to watch videos for 20$ pretty much

Yea, there was only, like, one day where they were LQ VODs lol.

Well, I would say the VODs are HQ, they just aren't super HD resolutions. I am still quite satisfied with my $20, though.
I think the VODs are available to watch during the current season you purchased. I don't know if they have decided specifically how it will work...like I paid for these VODs, but after this tourney is over, can I no longer watch them? OR...if I buy the next tourney's VODs, does that re-allow me access to VODs that I previously paid for? I can't think they would remove VODs from their site as they never have in the few years they've been doing this.

Im glad I spent my $20. Good quality vods, awesome commentary and some fantastic games. I have yet to watch the stream, but for the sheer volume of games and interviews its fantastic. They load instantly for me and I don't have high end internet by any means. Most definitely worth it.

Huh, sorry if I gave mis-information then. What rate are they at? I always thought they looked worse than the HQ stream.
Edit* Just want to clarify - the VODs don't look BAD. I enjoy watching the VODs.

I'm sure they'll keep them available during future seasons, too. I'd hope so, anyway. It'd be stupid not to.

I'm happy with spending my 20$ too. The games are getting pretty sick (as the casters like to say-).

Basically, if you are in Europe, you pay $20 and you cannot watch anything live. There is huge lag every time and you can barely see a few seconds at a time then it freezes, starts again and freezes again.
If you want the vods, then ok but their quality is very low for vods.
Very disappointed with their service. They are not improving at all.

Livestreams works fine for me in Europe, laged a bit the first day but since then its been fine. Worth the 20 bucks. But its kinda late if you buy it now since the season ends kinda soon. Would recommend waiting till the next one for most bang for your buck.

Yea ive had no problems with live or VOD service myself either, you sure it isn't problems your end?
