At a first glance this looks quite useful.
Maybe you can add replays in the future as well?
|
what about shows like SoTG and such... do you plan on ever including content like that on the site?
|
I really like it, but as marcesr suggested, can you add in replays on the website as well?

SoTG is on the main page as well as under "Shows."

The market for replay websites is actually really saturated right now (Google: "sc2 replays").
Since the frequency of tournaments releasing replays is becoming less and less, the likelihood of us implementing a replay section is becoming less likely as a result -- it would be great if replays were released alongside VODs, but the scene doesn't appear to be trending that way (and it's hard enough to find VODs nowadays as it is!).
In the future though, anything is possible :D we're open to whatever the fans desire.
|
I made this site back at the end of beta (same concept, same url, though not as much emphasis on tournaments because those were few and far between, and it appears you've put a lot more work into it than I did). Back then it was esspecially difficult to find and keep track of good stuff going on in sc2, so I mostly just made it for myself to bookmark and organize stuff I liked. I got a few hits here and there but mostly the response was "this site already exists, it's called Team Liquid" lol...
Regardless, I think there's potential in the idea that could be realized with enough effort.
Good luck!
|
This looks like it could be pretty useful. Yes, there are other places to find this stuff, but nowhere has it in such a 1-click everything-right-in-front-of-you-with-no-clutter fashion. No hunting for it, it's just right there. Simple/quick.
|
DAAAAAAAAANG man. I'm so jazzed on this. TYTYTYTYTYTYTY to all those who contributed. This is epic.

Damn you, was about to say the same ^^
Also, maybe add caster / tournament etc search as well?
|
the search is very nice, i'm not sure if it's possible, but is it a ton of work to include spaces in search? for example "marineking" finds all the replays but "marine king" (with a space) does not yield any results.
great work regardless, keep it up!

But yeah, this looks very slick and I'm sure I'll be using it.

This is amazing!
VODs are always hard to find.
This site changes that.
|
The search seems to be exact matches only. If you changed it to partial matches, or added search type options (contains, starts with, ends with, exactly), then it would be easier to find players. To see what I mean look at the player search on sc2ranks.com
If you know how to, I suggest adding player aka's so that you can search for a player without needing to know the exact name used on the website. Example- drg, mvpdrg, dongraegu should show same results.
|
Sweet site, thank you for this
|
should add a rating system
also, when you pull up a person's vod list, and then narrow the search, it eliminates the VOD links.
|
actually pretty cool, thanks!
|
|
|
Nice, I'll probably be using this quite frequently!
|
I'm finding a lot of vods I didn't think of before thanks to this. It provides simple, efficient and accurate lists for both players and tournaments, which is everything I personally feel that I need to browze the site's library without necessarily using the search function.
What I would like to have implemented though is Tournament Search to making searching easier (I hope it isn't there already and I just didn't find it.... sorry in that case). Currently, when I type in 'Dreamhack' for instance, no results show up. It would be nice to have a tournament search to give the site the ability to function like a pseudo liquipedia. With tournament search, you can type in 'MLG' to look at a list of vods from all MLG's. Right now you have to browze the different installments individually.
Other than that, maybe some dark theme for the site would be a nice touch.
Thanks for an amazing site and gl with all furute work on it! ^^
|
Really cool, will use this alot ^^
|
wow very impressed with your web design work!
|
amazing work dudes sutch a nice littel site, think i will use this a lot
|
|
|
What have you done to me? Why? WHY? You really don't think I should ever finish my PhD, don't you?
Until now, it was at least moderately difficult to find a specific match to watch. But witth this site? There is like infinity of SC2 immediately available, sorted and spoiler free. How should I do anything else now? 
Seems like a really, really good job. Hope you keep it up to date!

A way to sort the lists would be great (by clicking the column's title)
Everything else looks good so far! Are you adding those manually or do you have a script in the background looking at different reliable sources? That could be an interesting concept. The website could gather links to VODs which would have to be approved by 'moderators'. Although that might only be my opinion, I tend to use programming to fight my laziness...
GJ on the site though!
|
Suggestion:
When you filter by tournament, it should automatically sort tournaments by year, ie
2012
GSL Season 1
MLG Spring Arena
2011
GSL August
MLG Providence
2010
GSL Open Season 1

this is pretty awesome, going to be saving me a lot of time
|
This looks realy impressive, will be using this more than frequently me thinks!!
|
I would like to thank the makers of sc2links.com
The site helps you follow your favorite pro's matches if you happen to have missed one of his series.
|
Showing live streams would be pretty helpful as well.
|
Good job! Already using it often! Keep it up guys!
|
Thanks for the continued support everyone
We'll be updating the GSL all week as soon as VODs are posted, so keep a look out if you're interested in spoiler-free browsing!
|
My compliments. Very usefull.
|
Wow, this seems to be great!
|
Oh that's going to be useful, thanks!
|
I really like how the site is laid out, the user interface is very simple and efficient, no fancy useless crap. will definitely use it in the future, let's just hope the content will be up to par.
|
Really happy to see people finding the site useful :D
We've updated the GSL as soon as it was posted all week and with the help of r/SpoilerFreeSC, we've already got HomeStory Cup V VODs indexed on the site -- hope you all enjoy the games!
|
Nice website.
Consider giving the races their traditional TL colors. Green for Protoss, Red for Zerg and Blue for Terran.

Hi snively, it says this because I am DOOM -- just one of the many awesome people who power sc2links :D
|
I think it seems really good. I think it was a really smart decision how you aimed for consistency in player names to make searches easier, ie the full nick without clantag and not abbrevated. (so i know if i am to search for marineking, mkp, marinekingprime, etc) Keep up the good work
|
really great site, hope you keep it up to date

Oh we will -- guaranteed.
Over the past few weeks we've had GSL and GSTL updated within minutes of VODs being posted, the HomeStory cup has been indexed with the help of r/SpoilerfreeSC, and every premier SC2 show's content is completely up to date. Once NASL releases the VODs from this past weekend's event, we'll have them up as well.
Thanks for the kind words!

I saw stickers of this site all over MLG Anaheim, I finally checked it out... SEXY SITE!
