Many of you will remember the old Small Vod Thread as one of the most important threads on TL for years. Almost four million views and over 9000 replies speak to its greatness, especially when you consider that posting anything other than a VOD link post or a thank you was prohibited. However, with professional Korean BW coming to an end last year, we've reached the end of an era. Combine this with the fact that the old thread has become too cluttered, the first post now largely irrelevant and littered with dead links, the time has come to retire this sacred ground on TL.
Welcome to the Small VOD Thread 2.0.
In case you haven't noticed, BW has been going through something of a revolution here on TL over the last few months, and we hope to continue the improvements. With the Small VOD Thread 2.0, we're hoping to provide a place where people can catch up on amateur tournaments with a spoiler-free list of VODs. Of course, these VODs won't post themselves, so for this thread to truly work we'll need people to take up the role of heroes like yakii in the old thread. Ideally, tournament organizers would post VODs of their own tournaments themselves, but we understand that organizing a tournament is time consuming and exhausting; they might need some help.
Hopefully we can get enough people contributing that this thread will satisfy all your needs for watching current BW VODs.
When and how to post?
Anyone can post in the thread and add games and series that haven't been added yet. When posting, please make sure your VOD links are correct and your post is spoiler free. Always post VODs in URL tags instead of embedding them. Too many embedded YouTube VODs, even in spoilers, will cause people's browsers to crash or hang.
See example code below:
YouTube or Twitch, Bo5
[center][img]BANNER.JPG[/img] (if applicable)
[url=R&S thread for league, or liquipedia][b][big][big]NAME LEAGUE[/big][/big][/b][/url]
[b][big]STAGE[/big][/b]
Date
[b]xxx vs xxx[/b]
[spoiler]Game 1
[spoiler][url=VODLINKGOESHERE]VOD[/url][/spoiler]
Game 2
[spoiler][url=VODLINKGOESHERE]VOD[/url][/spoiler]
Game 3
[spoiler][url=VODLINKGOESHERE]VOD[/url][/spoiler]
Game 4

Game 5
[spoiler][url=VODLINKGOESHERE]VOD[/url][/spoiler]
[b][url=PLAYLISTLINKGOESHERE]Playlist[/url][/b] (if applicable)[/spoiler][/center]

How to add a timestamp to a VOD (please use this)
YouTube (add to the end of the url, replace XX with numbers)
#t=XXmXXs
Twitch (add to the end of the url)
?t=XXmXXs

Ok guys, same rules apply:
- Do not spoil games in this thread
- Do not comment on games in this thread
- Do not argue - about anything - in this thread
Some additional notes posted later in the thread:

Guys, can we please treat this thread as a VOD *repository*, not a discussion thread on where to find VODs and whatnot. People should be able to come to this thread and find VODs to watch, not go through the pages of discussion on where to find VODs.
If someone wants, please make a VODs-meta thread or something, where we can all corroborate to track the requested VODs and then, once found, post them in this thread with a proper formatting and everything.
I know tracking VODs, marking the timestamps, and properly formatting the VODs take a lot of work and effort, but I'd hate for this thread to become irrelevant because the quality of posting stuff here went considerably down.

I left a public note linking to the above post, which means that this thread will be closely moderated from now on. Please do not discuss, *anything*, in this thread. Occasional expression of gratitude towards the users who post the VODs is accepted, and actually encouraged, as long as it doesn't turn into spam. Also, if you spot a mistake in some of the posts, consider PMing the user who made the post directly instead of posting here in the thread.
If someone makes a new thread to discuss where to find VODs (and *someone* please do!), then I'll link to that thread to go discuss anything VODs-related.
Another thing that will be moderated from now on in this thread, is that when you post actual VODs in here, make sure to properly format and timestamp the VODs. There is an example in the original post on how to do this, as well as countless other posts that people made in here.

Cheers, TL.net!
Here's to another successful Small VOD thread! I have no doubt this thread will be just as awesome as its predecessor.

This thread shouldn't serve as much purpose as an archive resource, but instead as a way to get the unspoiled VODs of the most recent tournaments and leagues, all in one place.
|
So the intent (just to be clear) is to post all VODs from tournaments on this day forward, and not backtrack.

A couple questions:
First, are there any limitations on leagues for this thread? For example, would things such as DRTL/CRTL be allowed?
Second, how will TLS VODs be handled? Currently VODs are placed in a thread of their own. Will the creation of those threads continue, or will everything be moved into here?

DRTL/CRTL VODs are most definitely welcomed. This is a place for all amateur BW we have at the moment, from SSL, TLS to D ranks tournaments.
Creation of TLS VOD threads will continue so we can link it on the front page, but they will also be posted here.
