Would've never thought Blizzard actually would implement something like this.
Really damn cool, nice job there Blizz!

Nice. The pictures make it look a bit cheesy imho, but when it's on video it looks really slick. If I had my way the colours would be a bit darker 'cause they look a little toy-like but hey, I'm just being fussy ^_^

Like everyone says only things missing are minimap-only view and series score cells.

Great step in the right direction, very pleased with the way this is looking. I'd like to see much more but I feel its a great mile stone

Hmm, I like these changes very much but it just seems to me that when you look at those new tug-of-war style UIs that they completely dominate the whole screen. If they were placed in the bottom they wouldn't obstruct the view and maybe it would look better.

It looks like a football (video) game. I guess Blizzard's thinking is that is Starcraft is an e-sport, replays should look like sports games.

There's a rumor going around on Reddit of Madden-style commentary with Tasteless and Artosis. This makes that sound more likely. I like.

I am absolutely overjoyed that Blizzard is working on making the replay watching experience better. These overlays look very professional and I think are a great idea. I however think there are two problems that have been discussed in this thread.

1) Hiding the UI is a great feature (by hitting ALT+W) but the minimap is way too essential to hide.
2) The tug-of-war overlay dominates the screen space when it is active.

I completely agree with both of these issues and propose the Blizzard change the way the hide overlay looks. Take a look at my mock-up.

Wow these new obs features are actually really fucking awesome. Props to Blizzard for improving the GUI for observers. Probably the only thing about 1.3 that I'm excited about so far, lol.

I think they definitely should make some tiny little buttons for the new feathers.
I hate to use keyboard when I lie down and watch replays.

Very nice, I think this could become the standard style for casts, the one problem is that there's no easy way to see upgrades. I really think they should add an `upgrades' tab somewhere in the interface. It's silly for the casters to have to find a unit and click it to find out this very essential piece of information.

If anyone on US agrees, it would be really cool to mention that in the suggestion threads.

Minimap is definitely pretty essential, and the tug of war bars fit so much better down there (with the middle UI gone).
It might be nice to have a way to see how many kills/how much energy key units have without having to bring up the whole UI panel. Then I think the above would be pretty much perfect for watching games.

Wow, this is pretty sweet. Hopefully those bars with apm/army supply/worker supply etc are customizable. They looked way too big and were in the way imo. Still props to blizzard for doing this.
