I dont use this site and I have no opinion on the matter.
I am just posting this to make the developer aware of what may be unintended harmful consequences of his software and replay paywall

(Must read) Reasons to be careful when preparing for a competition and what you say about yourself or other players
While this site is becoming a hot topic of controversy in the community,
Whether it's a use map or a regular map, they're all uploaded
Build timing, unit production timing, building location, troop movement APM, EAPM, even numbering habits or coordinate mouse movement.
To be honest, it's all been revealed.
In the past, cwal.gg only had ladder records, but this is on a different level.
This is a legal area because Blizzard released the source code, but there was information asymmetry between those who knew and those who didn't know.
People who know will know that even if you practice slandering, the process of preparing for a competition by searching for the ID of the person practicing slandering or the ID of the opponent will all appear.
In fact, I was able to see the entire preparation process through this site.
There is no need for a use map, a password room, or a hidden sub-account. The ones that are uploaded all at once are targeted at maps or specific suspicious IDs.
It takes some time to find and randomly specify an ID, so all cases of games played on Battle.net can be specified.
In other words, the solution is a method such as udp off hamachi radmin.
Even the breakwaters and password rooms are all open with the use map, so it is said that they will appear after 3 days.
Sometimes it appears after 3 days, and sometimes it appears in just one day.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you use this well in the field of analysis.
With this, you can prepare for the build of the opposing university or individual competition with information asymmetry and customize it or start with a better build.
There was an advantage.
I don't know the intention behind this, as it is a foreign website and it was uploaded to prevent anyone from abusing it.
The situation has already been opened.
Even since this is all open, in the classic game, the timestamps are printed and it all shows how the player reacted to the movement.
Analysis becomes too easy.
I just posted this because in this world, if you don't know, you're stupid.
If you think that no one has benefited from this, you are a person who sees the world too lightly.
Although there is a suspicion, there is no evidence to confirm whether anyone benefited.
I can't say anything because Blizzard legally opened the API in the first place, but I think it's a matter of conscience.
I uploaded this because I thought you might be stupid if you didn't know about this site since it's almost known to everyone now.
edit: players/progamers/amateurs can protect themselves from replay-scraping robot websites and unscrupulous competitors during tournament preparation by preventing replay uploads. your practice partner and any observers will need to perform the same steps.
pm me for details.
