i don’t know why you would subject yourself to that as a viewer

I don’t agree with people saying it’s free to watch/ watch on steam or ingame.
This is not some 3rd party tournament which is for purely entertainment. This is a MAJOR. Valve sponsored event. Had it been some 3rd party event I could understand.
People seem to have been accustomed to paying for everything these days.

I will never pay a single dollar on esports viewing, merch, arena tickets, subscriptions. I will use adblockers, I will complain about product placement, I will not allow it to be funded by Saudi Arabia, or China, or US Air Force, or underage gambling, or any gambling really. If the audio, observing, or casting is bad I will freak the FUCK out. They are not allowed to take exclusivity deals with facebook or mixer, it should always be on twitch and youtube. Costreaming should be fine for anyone at any time. The players should be well off, no getting paid in mousepads like some brokie 2006 shit. Also unsigned teams without logos give me the ick :/ so lots of orgs please. There should be no tech delays, broadcasts should feel professional, teams should feel professional with staff and shit, there should be no match-fixing, there should be a players union. All in all I will make no sacrifices whatsoever but it should be the way I want it to be and adhere to my moral compass.
Why is nobody making any money?

No ads on Gaules stream 🙂

Remember the very first times blast started showing adds on the sides of the actual stream?
People complaining were shut down instantly “it’s free watching, I’d rather have this than a subscription service”
Now see what we have for a major.

Also it’s so shitty that they have TWO betting sponsors, both of which get these banner ads. And that stupid Level up ad below the map. It’s so scummy

It’s unfortunate, but they’ve gotta find a way to make money or they’re not going to continue hosting events. The community loves to praise Blast for their production, but that takes a lot of money!
