Pro Games Live?

[hailthorn011]

I read somewhere that IGS displays professional games live. But I'm not entirely sure how that works. Also, is that the only place to watch professional go games live? I'd prefer a method that doesn't involve payment since I'm quite broke at the moment, but even that would work.

And I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. n_n;

There are more pro games (live) on WBaduk; you don't have to pay anything.

Nice. Thanks for telling me. I actually just bought a day pass for ch-bee.com, and it's awesome!

You're welcome. As for that website, I'm not 100% sure and I don't want to offend anyone but... my guess is that their broadcast is not legal. Asking money for pirated broadcasts is more than...

It's a pirated broadcast? ....I had no idea.

I told you that I'm not 100% sure. When the site was launched, for some months it was free to watch Baduk TV but as far as I know Baduk TV is not free. If you're in Korea you pay the cable fee and you watch it. Or you pay for Internet viewing a service fee to Baduk TV. Something like that.

And by the way, WBaduk that I mentioned in my first post is not a TV channel. This is their website: http://www.wbaduk.com/

The only way I've seen to reliably find the IGS schedules is the Japanese Pandanet home page. They have the major titles there and a lot of Kansai Kiin matches on IGS.

Wbaduk is the better choice for pro games though since it's tied to Nihon Kiin and the Korean and Chinese pro games, so there is always something on there to watch.

Right. I think I prefer being able to see the actual game, though. I mean, if ch-bee.com isn't a legal way to watch Baduk TV, is there any way of a resident of the US to get it legally? I watched it earlier today and the games have awesome quality.

I didn't know ch-bee was not legal either. I heard it's possible to watch Baduk TV from their website, paying a fee that is cheaper than ch-bee's, but I think you can't pay it if you're not from Korea... Does anyone have some information about that?
