I'm hoping the Gotfrag staff will be covering ESWC so I don't have to listen to Tosspot yelling that people are hitting the deck. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
i guess gotfrag cant do it, contract, rights etc or for woteva reason. i would not see it as selling out to wow! they cant do every event out there, there is competition for event coverage. i.e gigga.
stupid MLG bleh, i wish they could just broadcast them like kode5 by hopping in the HLTVs, I would rather have some matches start late or miss pistol rounds than not have gftv :[

We are in internal discussions on the next GRT dates as well as in talks with the folks at KODE5 about their events for their next season. We are also working on getting more staff to Phoenix so we can do much more regular broadcasting from our studio.

I wasnt blaming MLG , I just meant I didnt want to watch it cuz last time I watched it was really boring :) which has nothing to do with gotfrag tv or gotfrag or mlg, just that wow is a very boring game to spectate.
I think its rare to find a 1.6 broadcast that has intelligent casters, good coverage, and good presentation(aka doing it correctly) which is why everyone was wanting the big tournaments to be cast. More of an "I wish" thing than damning you guys for not covering it. It's just too bad wcg and eswc doesn't watch the kode5 VOD's and see how well it was done and you all weren't even on site.
You guys still look better and sound better than CGS which is,you know, "the future of esports" :P gl

If thats the case than I guess I won't even really know the difference as long as there are some HLTVs up to watch. I won't be up at 4-5 am anyways to pay attention.
GFTV for ESWC
Why broadcast a big 1.6 tournament when you can broadcast a lame WoW skirmish or gather or whatever the hell they call em.
<3 you midway
What upcoming tournaments are you planning on broadcasting?
Have we EVER broadcast an ESWC? No.
Do we have the rights to cast? No.
Could we broadcast if we wanted to? No.
