As most of you probably know, the Korean media player GOM is sponsoring the new MSL. Apart from showing the MSL games live in great quality, they also provide VODs. Noone in the foreign scene seems to have noticed this however, so here’s a guide to get access to all those juicy games.
A big credit goes to our sexy pothead SuperJongMan for telling me all about how this works.
Open it, and click on the TV DMB button on the bottom right.
Click on the fifth marble.
To watch the most recent MSL, click on the TV MSL sign with the GOM Player logo.
Click either of the highlighted links, they will take you to the VOD page.
If you want to watch Proleague, Survivor League, or Pringles MSL, click on the second tab on the left.
To navigate, use the olive box. The first link is Proleague (everything but the playoffs uploaded right now), second link is Pringles MSL (the last one, where Savior beat Silver in the finals), third is MBC Survivor (no games from this most recent Survivor yet). The fourth and fifth tabs aren't sc-related.
In order to start watching something, just click the first yellow tab. After showing two commercials, GOM Player will load the game.

No, but you can watch live MSL.
Click on the TV DMB button.
There'll be a picture of the players that day on the right, and some Korean text with LIVE in the middle. Click that, then click the yellow box with the rgb colours.
since I reinstalled Xp on my new computer I have trouble watching .avi and mp4. Hell I can't even find out what format files are (idiotproof system) I was just planning to start a thread about mediaplayers or searching for one. Must I learn Korean to have a goodmediaplayer from now on ?

edit: thanks stargate, galactica gogogogo
In general, VLC or MPlayer will pull through, even for exotic file formats. And avi and mp4 are far from exotic. VLC is a bit bulkier, and MPlayer has a Windows frontend, so I'm not sure why consensus leans heavily towards VLC, but either, and others, should work. You can try other solutions, but a simple media player by itself is probably the easiest.
edit: Oh, thanks Orome and SJM.
By the way, maybe you should add that you not only need to install Gom Player, but also something else when you click on the VOD. I was like wtf stop installing shit prz. T_T
For some reason the player installed in Korean for me, and I cant read that. Any one want to post a step by step to change the language setting to English? thx a bunch

Unless I just missed something huge ( you never know >_< ), the point of the original post is to give instructions on how to watch VODs for those of us who can't read Korean. GOM Player is a Korean media player--that's why they're sponsoring the current MSL, and why it installed in Korean. If the player had English language support, then there'd be no reason for those pretty pictures on the front page.

pausing worked fine for me.
would anyone care to make a list of who vs who the vods from the individual leagues are?

Maybe just different versions I guess?
Shows what I know. Anyway, according to this Wikipedia entry, the English version of Gom Player doesn't have Gom TV included...which sadly defeats our VOD-watching goal.

Hey, I checked out those bottom two olive boxes shown on the last news-post picture, and they both look very SC-related to me. As far as I can tell, they're some kind of older VODs--they say they have games on Luna the Final, Rush Hour III, and Arcadia (original). Maybe the links change?

I never clicked those links, that's what SJM told me. Come to think of it, I think he wasn't sure about that, so you're probably right.

the 4th tab has intothemsl, like 10 pages of it too
Haha, it looks a lot like Savior I know, but it's Hwasin.
Since offline qualies aren't broadcasted on MBC Game, it's highly unlikely you'll find anything on GOM.
