GOMtv Starcraft II Team Invitational

When you're having people over to your house for a fancy dinner, you want to make sure everything's in order before they get there. And if you happen to be having say.. thousands of people over to watch 64 of the best players in the world square off in Blizzard's Starcraft II, then that need for preparation is all the more urgent. This is exactly why GOMtv is holding a short(4 day) tournament for the biggest Starcraft II teams in Korea from October 13-16, 2010.

That's right, as a dry run to test the limits of their improved streaming service, GOMtv is hosting a full-blown tournament that anyone can watch... FOR FREE. Details follow the break.


There are a few caveats, however.

1. This is a live stream test. You have to watch the games live, which means at 18:00 KST(GMT +9). In other words, 5am EST is when the matches start, just like in the GSL.
2. This is a live stream test. There might be issues with stability as they're stress testing the service. It's free and it's a test, so there's not much to complain about.
3. There will be no English commentary. Honestly, you don't need commentary to watch these games anyways because the observers follow the action so well and listening to the Korean commentators get so into the game is part of the experience.

Still interested? Head over to GOMtv's page here and download the latest GOM Player. You're going to need it for Season 2 of the GSL anyways. You are going to watch the GSL, right?
