But if I were MLG and I didn't have a solution in hand right now that had been thoroughly battle-tested before the weekend, I wouldn't release any replays either. If somebody comes up with a script, they'll need time to test and verify it. Hopefully somebody will and they can release the replays later on. This is a Blizz problem. If they won't release a LAN version, they could at least enable some sort of tournament mode (or a whitelist option, as suggested above) so idiots can't interfere with playing during a tournament. | ||

Unless someone has found a way to convert from battle.net ID to character code, this does nothing to stop people being added and spammed on battle.net since it wasn't possible in the first place other than by brute force guessing. The best solution to the chat spam / lag problems is to set busy mode and join six chat channels before playing a game to prevent further invites. It seems MLG doesn't want to release replays (perhaps under pressure from Korean teams?) and is using this as an excuse. Great post. MLG, get with it. The community wants replays. | ||

Also, I'm sure a lot of pros don't want their replays out there, at least as little as possible. I'm totally fine w/ this, it's there right to do so. u probably should be reminded that GSL is casting _every_ game.......that might be a slight difference to what mlg does (casting some games) and when they suck at it like they did the previous mlg they ve stream a / b cast the same game......seriously its just bad | ||

Still, one can hope that they'll eventually release the replays. | ||

Then again from some of the comments on here of people buying it hook line and sinker...maybe they aren't too far off. | ||

Scrubbing the replays for player names (that's the only thing that's a problem, right?) has to be just trivial to automate; I feel like I should teach myself how to use the replay parsers and do it myself... | ||

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. So this means that EVEN IF there is a problem with ddos or whatever, what some people deny, they can fix it, it is no reason to not release them at all. I hate all these audacious lies in every second statement, do all these esport companies consider us idiots? | ||

Releasing replays was one major difference between MLG and other tournaments. You had the chance to get your hands on replays of players who normally do not release them. I'm pretty sure that the actual reason is the cooperation with GSL and Korean players who are normally very reluctant to release replays. Sad decision, a bad development and a filthy move...... | ||

 I thought they would just release them after the event. Really sad since studying the columbus replays was really beneficial for my own improvement. | ||

if so, they should just only release the replays after the whole event is over. | ||
