This MLG I pay for a pass and can only get one stream at a time in HD and I won't get any replays, not even after... I've paid for a worse experience. | ||

MLG wants you to watch the stream like GSL does. And I'm sure because of korean presence in MLG, some pro houses and GOM have had their say in this policy, because they don't want korean replays to be available to thousands of players. This should be as evident as the cycle of night and day. Ok, I just now read R1CH's post and he is basically saying the same thing. I feel dumb for typing all of this out. Serves me right for not reading the entire op though. | ||

MLG has way more important things to worry as live events are hard as hell to run. I'm sure they would love to release replays, but the harassment through battle.net doesn't make it worth it. Releasing the replays after the event shouldn't be any harder than doing it during it. In fact, it could be even easier, since you have a lot of things going on in the middle of the tournament. People are doing this because they don't understand their reasoning. If they gave a reason that wasn't full of holes, even if it wasn't one everyone liked, you could accept that. But this right now looks like removing a important part of the event for no valid reason at all. | ||

Get over it there are going to be no replays. It seems this community has started to overreact for any little change. Sure it makes for interesting drama to read, but overall it just deteriorates the community and people's opinion of said community, I mean just look at how everyone perceives the DOTA community. There is an overreaction because their reason behind it is fucking stupid, it makes no sense at all. Maybe to protect the Korean guys build orders yes, but the DDoS thing seems so unrealistic. Everything can be worked around. | ||

They perceive the DOTA community that way because any time you join a game while trying/learning something new, people try to ban you. | ||

It's the fact that we are being deprived of access to replays altogether and possibly under a false pretense that is getting people annoyed. They said they will release replay packs later. Maybe they will release all of them, who knows? Or maybe they will release none, like the GSL and NASL. Maybe they will make your pay for them if you want them. Maybe they will destroy all the replays and ship you the parts of the burn thumb drives out of spite. "How dare you take away the thing that was free before!!!! I demand a valid reason why you are taking away the thing that I got for free before. I will decide if the reason is valid, not you!!! If I don't like the reason, I will call you a liar and demand a reason I will accept! What, your taking it away because you don't want to deal with the issues it created and had a negative affect on your product people are paying for??? That's BS!!!! I demand you provide me with a better reason now!!!! Or I will continue to post in this thread about how angry I am!" | ||

Obviously not. It doesn't mean that they can't release them after the event. Even if that's a task MLG doesn't want to do after the fact, I imagine there would be a number of volunteers from TL to remove the sensitive information from these replays so that they can be released to the public after the fact. I lack the technical ability to do so, but I'm sure that people of R1CH's caliber would volunteer to do so. The TL community at its best is pretty damn competent. Transparent 'satire' doesn't change that. | ||

What probably happened before and will no doubt happen again is that the character name will be displayed on the stream, and people (I'm pretty sure who) will just guess 1000 character codes until they get the right one, then it gets posted, then mass spamming occurs again. This is a fundamental Battle.net issue regarding how chat during Busy status is handled and not a replay issue. | ||

But on topic, I can understand. Maybe they are pulling our leg, but I think they may just be playing it safe. Imagine if they said they WERE going to release them later, then couldn't... This thread would pale in comparison in terms of rage. If they say they NEVER will, and then it turns out they decide to (or are allowed to) release them, then everyone thinks that much more of them, and everyone gets what they want. It's for safety. They aren't doing this because they are big corporate jerks. And they can't charge for them, because, for one, the reason they just gave would clearly be a lie. So in the future either A., we will never get them, B. we will get them for free, but a couple weeks later, or C., certain replays will be released if the pros/blizz/whoever else allows them. | ||

At least we were able to get the replays for previous events. I am disappointed at this news and regardless of the reasons they give it was a valuable resource to a lot of players and casters. This was one of the unique features with MLG. It's a very big deal for the Korean teams to release any replays at all. With that said this would have been a perfect opportunity to obtain an actual tournament practised build. Hopefully they review this as it was a big thing the community was looking forward to. | ||

Plenty of informed people have posted in this thread saying how MLG's reasoning makes no sense. If you want to continue to be ignorant and be such a cool hipster than be my guest, just don't bold stuff it's even more annoying 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. | ||
