+ Show Spoiler + e realize that a large number of matches are played offstream at Pro Circuit Competitions. After MLG Anaheim, we will be sending replay packs out to selected groups of casters, so that these never-before-seen matches can be commentated and then released for everyone to see. " This part is the worst, studying a game from a VoD obsed by a caster is the worst possible option.. | ||

Columbus didn't use any standard account for all players. Unless they created new accounts with the same username but then a different character code was created as well? This does happen because you have multiple EGIdrA etc but they're unique because of username+char code pairing. This still doesn't excuse them from releasing the pack after the tournament is OVER and scrubbing any data they deem private.

MLG stated today on their website MLG will no longer be making replays of Tournament matches available to the public. We realize that this has been a popular feature, but unfortunately replay packs contain data which can be used to DDOS the player- and the event. Because of the volume of replays we have to process during an event, we are unable to strip that information out of the files before publication. We realize that a large number of matches are played offstream at Pro Circuit Competitions. After MLG Anaheim, we will be sending replay packs out to selected groups of casters, so that these never-before-seen matches can be commentated and then released for everyone to see. So i think its safe to say that the 1st paragraph is most likely a line being fed to us to justify the 2nd paragraph? | ||

I hope the replays do get released after the tournament, it's always nice to see the new strategies of some of the better players in the tournament, as well as a lot of face rolls in the open bracket. | ||

There's already a host load of Korean replay files out there, if this was the excuse that MLG is using, I don't really get it. They are doing it to avoid the players and casters being harassed during the game. Last time around they burned through 200 fresh blizzard accounts because people were pulling the battle.net information from the replays. We didn't see a lot of it, but some of the players were being invited to fake games by accounts like "MLGcaster" and MLGadmin. I can't remember who, but Day9 was saying one player joined the wrong game 5 times. It was worst with the Korean players because of the language barrier, because they had no idea they were in the wrong game. | ||

" This part is the worst, studying a game from a VoD obsed by a caster is the worst possible option.. If they can take the time to organize this, why can't they take the time to simply clean the replays, if that is actually in fact necessary? Nevermind the comp sci, which I know little about- unless they are saying these replays take a disproportionate amount of labor to clean, what's stopping them from doing that? | ||

No replays, no free HD, neither buyable HD just HQ, only 2 streams, lot of technical issues. Why non UE tournament have to be so harsh ? | ||
