After all, they aren't running a charity here. You must live a very strange life.

I think that everybody should refrain from buying tickets for the proleague: a. $5 for almost a year's worth of proleague seems too good to be true, b. the full details of the english stream have not been unraveled yet; I mean, did any of you guys listen to doa and montecarlo tonght? It's very apparent that the current English stream situation is not stable at all.
On a side note, i recently had a little bit of a run-in with the OSL ticket. I bought an osl ticket during the middle of the season at $10, and I found myself behind and needing to watch VODs. Little did I know, a week after the OSL, they took all the VODs off the OSL twitch page and even deleted the OSL twitch page, leaving me with a bunch of VODs that I could not watch, and paid for. A week after they deleted the twitch page, OGN started a new channel called ongamenet, they later included the OSL VODs; however, even though I was a paying customer of the former OSL twitch page, I was not given access to the OSL VODs on their new page (which was getting ready for the start of their new LoL league). If I wanted to watch the OSL VODs, I would have to pay another $6 to get past the pay-wall.
I'm not necessarily bitter about this, nor do I think it's a crime against humanity that OGN took down their twitch page (after all, the league was over), but it does go to show that there sometimes seems to be disorganization from these Korean companies, and that there might be some confusion as well. You guys should also note, that kespa, ogn, and ieg, are all different companies that have different ways of running things, just because OGN did this, doesn't mean Kespa will follow suit. (Kespa would likely follow suit in an even harsher and severe manner :D)

Not paying a cent. SPL was free back in BW and definitely staying that way for me. I feel like the more people throw money to watch these tournaments, the more they want to charge.

Are you people trolling or are you really that clueless? It's $5 for the whole season, not per day...
Also, it seems like the VODs are free on their Twitch page, they've already posted the first 6...

Just $5 for the whole season, I did not think twice before buying it.

They just "don't believe it will stay the same" because "it's too good to be true." I wouldn't call this trolling or clueless, I would just call it stupid

dont get it guys you call yourself FANS but not willing to pay as much in a month then you pay in a half day for coffee I was willing (and glad) to pay for MLG's first-ever PPV arena. I paid for a GSL light-ticket for the entire year. I don't mind paying for SC2 content, but the reason I made this thread is because I think there's a significant possibility that Kespa will charge something more "reasonable" (e.g. $100-$200+) for a year's subscription which would trigger a backlash from those who've already paid for the Twitch stream. And I'm curious whether people will grab their pitchforks, since, it's Kespa after all
It's interesting that they locked 480p/720+ content to subscribers only and that they already have a special Proleague subscribers icon now (they introduced it like an hour or later after the broadcast started, because it was the standard Twitch subscriber icon at first [i.e. a star]).

A lot of people are just flat out making stuff up in this thread... If you can't be bothered to trust what they charge you then you might as well never buy anything again. If they do change it and you feel you've been jipped in the craziest of ways imaginable ($5=mylife)... get a refund. Pretty straightforward.
To the above/OP: Kespa has never(to my knowledge)charged for this stuff before.. $5 is x5 more than they've ever made from this. So, I don't know if you're enjoying just assuming they're the bane of evil or what, but it would be nice if you actually supported them regardless of what pricing they pick for their content.

Also I dont think it a good idea to charge per day, both on pr and commercial reasons. Lol, WHY are so many people responding to that comment? The person who wrote it was OBVIOUSLY just kidding around, lol.

If you believe that then I've got a bridge to sell you. Kespa just hasn't announced their pricing structure yet. Hell they don't even have permanent casters yet since Doa/Monte are on loan. Kespa isn't in the charity business. If you think they're going to give away months worth of content for $5, you're the one that's clueless.

Wait- wait a second... does this bridge happen to lead to nowhere?
Cause I may have already bought that one...

When I clicked on 720p without a subscription, it said 4.99/month. Is that the right payment plan? When I clicked subscribe it then said 4.99/one time. So does that mean 4.99 for one season, or 4.99 one time payment (AKA not a payment plan)?
Anyways, I subscribed anyway, but I'm expected $4.99 a month.

Down the longest road to nowhere.

It could be $5 per round lol, did anyone consider that option?
6 rounds + playoff = $35!

1. The LQ free stream was 360p, not 480p, I believe. 2. There was confusion about the subscription: - on one hand, the popup on the stream when you try to switch to HD said "per month" - on the other hand, the subscription page claimed it's one time

Oh god, it's sounding more and more like, "Just today bitches! muahah" to me. I paid 5 bucks .. thinking it was for the whole thing but I won't really feel bad if they change it.

Each round is 7 weeks right? I'd pay $5/round.

If it's $5 per month I won't mind. That's a perfectly fine price model, a bit lower than GOM's. The way the pricing was listed on the proleague page leads me to believe that that's the intended price model. If I do end up getting an entire season for 5 bucks though, fuck yeah! :D

Well, in any case, I think it will end up being more than $5 per month. Unless Kespa/IEG decides to throw little to no resources at the English stream (then maybe they'll be content to just set it at $5 / month). But if they're interested in making money, they'll probably try and mimic the GSL in pricing.
By the way, around the start of the EG-TL vs KT match, I counted around 15k or so viewers on the sc2proleague (English) stream, according to my Twitch app.

Why not wait until you have evidence to support your speculation before making a thread? Pretty sure its for the whole season, plus vods, considering that is what it says.
