Is the info on this site actually available on TL anywhere?

In all seriousness though, I think this is a really cool idea, I'll look for you guys at MLG

Oh no... YOU won't visit any other site but TL. What a major loss... oh wait. Nobody cares.
OP: This site is actually amazing. I always hated trying to find vods or certain matchups by googling or other ways.
Also, the player list with links to twitters and streams is actually awesome.
Nicely done!
|
This site is awesome!
The player section is amazing!!
|
Thanks for the support! We'll be back in action at MLG Anaheim today with free tshirts and stickers, so look for the logo!

only SC2?
|
NeoGeoOdin, what other games would you want to see?
|
|
|
This looks pretty awesome!
|
This is better than I thought, thanks!
|
This is cool but there are sites already such as this like sc2casts.com
|
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the mouse over "Reveal Match". Would be easier to just see the matchup without having to mouse over every one if you're looking for a specific player or players. I do understand though that maybe it is a functon implemented for anti spoilering. Nice site regardless =]
|
looks great, works great.
good work

competition never hurt anybody. its better for you as a consumer.
also sc2casts looks harder to navigate. this one has a better layout
|
Constructive feedback - the coloring for the races (the little squares) is a bit wonky.
Why not red zerg, blue terran, green protoss?
|
This is really awesome, thanks
|
Looks great, best of luck to you, you have my support.
Projects like these need help getting off the ground but after they pick up ground they can be very successful.
|
I tried to search filter by : vs race, zerg
but i got a error message :
Warning: include(functions.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sc2l/public_html/search_op.php on line 3

Went in skeptical, left pleasantly surprised.
Would like some more filtering for tournaments tho (eg: Only korean, only MLG, sorted by date, etc)
|
This looks awesome.. keep it up
|
Thanks for the comments and support! We will be modifying the VOD filter this week to allow users to better navigate tournaments and shows, your constructive criticisms are certainly appreciated and encouraged.
|
Gyro, thanks for reporting this error, we'll take a look.
|
Hope everyone enjoyed MLG, we had a blast meeting all our fans and are overwhelmed by the community's support! VODs will be posted as soon as mlg makes them available. If you got a sticker let us know!!
|
MF, the super-villain!
Cool idea hope it works out
|
lol, saw a sticker advertising this site on a light post here at Anaheim.
|
Wow, this is sick! Thank you so much!
|
|
|
If I may make a suggestion, under the VOD section, I'd like there not to be a reveal match hover-over. Could there just be the matches listed instead? It makes for easier browsing. Other than that, I'm loving this website. The sheer amount of information compiled into one site is so awesome.

back seat modding is really fucking annoying/retarded. I'm glad we have people who actually take the initiative to do these sort of things for the community. There would be no TL without the community, and no community without TL. I highly doubt the mods would leave this open this long if it bothered them.
|
I like teh site, but I'd like it better if it had a section for first-person VODS (FPVODS). Maybe they are too few, but still it's something I'd like to have and without it there is not enough incentive for me to visit SC2LINKS.
|
sickkk. This filter sites are soo useful :D
|
Hey, I think this is a really cool site. Any chance you will have proleague matches uploaded here? I'd love to be able to get straight to proleague matches casted by whatever english caster, just not the official korean one @_@.
|
Badass, the reveal match was definitely done for anti spoiler. We may include a feature to reveal all matches if it becomes too difficult to hover over each individual match. Thanks for the comments!

Sc2 casts has an awesome awesome way to follow casters on a mobile device app, but the online interface is nowhere near as good or as capable to allow you to follow specific players.

This is really funny to me for some reason.

SC2Links.com has been updated with the latest VODs from the MLG Spring Championship, GSL Season 2, GSL Season 3, and GSTL Season 2.
Working on getting NASL up to date by the end of this week as well.
Enjoy!!

sorry but very selfish comment this is by far the best site i ever saw ... damn i look for vods longer then i watch them ...
but hm homestory cup missing ?
|
Hi CoR, Homestory has no VODs
|
awesome site! really easy to use
one thing i seem to be missing (or maybe i'm blind) is a sign that it's not a free VOD but you need a subscription to watch the VOD
for example: i go to the NASL season 2 page, click a match i want to see and then on their site it will state: "Only available for subscribers" Now it's not that big a deal but it might help to have that as a disclaimer above that page on your sight. So unaware people that are browsing it will see that you cannot just watch this for free.
again, the site is awesome to just look up matches, real good!
|
Hi just browsed through the site a little and it looks amazingly useflul. The search seems really intuitive, the site looks elegant. Just one thing that i found strange: the selection of the match to watch is counterintuitive for me. I at first thought that clicking the player name in the match list would send me to the list of games of that player and not to the VOD. If it could be a little more transparent i would think that you would be near achiving perfection. I hope i explained it understandably. Great job
|
Hi Skrita, thanks for the kind words!
We are planning on updating the display of links from searches to make everything a bit more intuative (one link for the VOD itself, the players linking to those players VODs).
Also soon, the site will immediately take users to the search from a start page and the VOD link list will be a dynamic bar that collapses between tournaments and shows -- hopefully this will create greater ease of use for all users.
Overall, thank you to everyone for the feedback -- we are committed to making this application as user friendly and as elegant as possible.
|
This is actually really neat and a lot better than I expected. Mad props, this must have taken a while. I hope you keep it updated
|
For the tournament link, can you put the name of the player and the matchup in the description?
|
And now it's my homepage (along with TL, Twitter & Facebook). Awesome, because so many (I'm looking at you MLG and GomTV) have crap websites for browsing through VODs.
|
|
|
This is pretty cool, but you guys would REALLY have me in your pocket if you managed to include download links for the replays corresponding to each VOD, provided that they are available.
|
Thanks MFDoom this is great
|
|
|
Hi Gyro,
If you hover over "Reveal Match" with your cursor, it will reveal the player matchup for you -- we plan on integrating a "Reveal All" feature on each tournament page that will allow you to reveal all matches without having to hover over the reveal match feature.

|
Hm, why is this not getting more attention? This site is fucking amazing. Thank you so much.
