The reason we don't release replays is pretty simple. When we think up a magically awesome project like TSL and shop around for sponsors we need to be able to show said sponsor stats - specifically vod stats. The whole motivation for a sponsor is that they know the viewer will see their logo/ad and this will probably expand (we aren't going to 20 minute gom ads with DRM....yet LOL). To keep that door open we need to have backing "the last 10 episodes of liquibition have had X number of views". If we release reps then obviously vod views go down, stream views go down, product looks less popular (as has less value because not as many people watching the vod). Then prizes go down and we have to cut stuff. Don't give me lip about blah blah replays still show view i know they do. Sponsors want to see where they can have a 10 second ad between a game or where there logo will be placed during a broadcast. | ||

Stream/VODs can have a sponsor overlay like we had during Razer TSL. Replays can't. So it's irrelevant for a sponsor. | ||

Yeah but what about what D10 mentioned, 2-3 weeks after the VODs are released everyone would have already seen them and then it wouldn't matter so much. | ||

Why would you want to wait 2-3 weeks? Then when you actually DO see it you won't really be up to date with everyone else because everyone would have already discussed it in a live thread. Also there is no commentary on the replays when you download them. Half the fun of watching liquibition is sitting in IRC with everyone else, knowing that what you are watching now is happening as you discuss it IMO. | ||

A worthless stat, though, as they have no advertising in the place you download it :/ Maybe you can be like Pringles or all the wc3 tourneys and add banners for sponsors in maps :3 Pity there are no loading screens in SC either... Otherwise just having adverts on the rep download page, but that would be kinda lame :/ | ||

Why not put the sponor's logo on the map itself? That way you would have even more hits, because you'd satisfy the entire audience. People could watch live, download vods and / or download replays, if they dislike watching vods or couldn't watch the games live due to a slow internet connection etc. I realise that the fact the logo won't be visible at all times might be a problem, but it could be done in such a way that the logo would be visible on the mini map and therefore all the time. | ||
