They're pulling a GSL, but saying it's because people are parsing info they can use to DDOS the players. Is R1CH sure they can't find anything even remotely like an IP Address or a character code from the replays? Even if MLG is overreacting and simply confronting the problem of people trolling players by getting rid of everything that might cause the problem, how can we be all that mad? Wasn't it Puma at NASL that paused his game because someone was whispering him what his opponent was doing? Maybe it was Losira. Can't quite remember. Either way, it was a player actually having to raise his hand and tell the refs that someone was whispering him and fucking with the game. How can you honestly be mad at MLG for trying to stop that? Sure, they can go Busy and six chat channels, but they're trying something. The problem will pop up if they force their players to go in as Busy and with the chat channels open. If they don't do that, then they honestly deserve every call of "Retarded" and "Are you fucking serious?" But seriously.....are you guys pissed off enough at losing a free service, which you never had to pay for before, to not watch the awesome games this weekend? It's not like when you clicked "Accept" on the HQ Pass screen that you thought you were paying for replays. Those have always been free, so it's honestly up to MLG if they even want to offer the service. And they chose not to. EDIT: Woooo, MLG_Lee! See, they knew it would suck for the community, but they did it as a way to protect the event. Not so EG-level evil, huh guys? Erm.... I'm really skeptical myself and part of me feels like it's just a cop-out to further monetise the event at the expense of both players who seek to improve and nearly all but a select few casters. However, there has been a huge rise recently in douchebags DDOSing progamers. Notable individuals to be hit by such attacks include Day[9] (during his daily webshow) and Destiny, so it does seem somewhat plausible. And if anybody has been following the Destiny case, Mr Bonnell has potentially lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars of potential income from some stupid fucking worse-than-script kiddie who (according to his stream and skype conversations) actually used a website that cost $20 a month to obtain Destiny's IP when it was easily obtainable through other methods. However, who's to say that they're getting the information needed to DDOS those players from replays? They could be getting it from an entirely different source, so I don't feel it is fair to just scapegoat replays in all this.... However, I do think something drastic needs to be done about the Battle.net issue. I think it's about time that Blizzard just gave in, implemented LAN support in Starcraft II and stopped trying to police ESPORTS. Otherwise, we're going to have more and more events continually ruined by this DDOSing/chat sniping/cheating crap, merely because Blizzard are being incredibly overprotective of their intellectual property. In fact, a LAN hack has already been released (Which I won't link because I don't want to condone piracy.) Sorry Blizzard, the pirates have won. Just give up already and stop plaguing your games with crappy feature removing methods of DRM. | ||

You can very easily find every progamers nick+identifier in the internet so where is the problem? | ||

You can't say there won't be replays anymore from a silly reason, the nerd rage will prove you wrong, mass lag you regardless even higher than what you were trying to avoid. Nerd rage man!! That said, can you give us the replays pretty please? It seems to be proved the lag is just as Colombus and without replays Colombus will forever be your best event, Anaheim will be the event that had some matches that no one saw, like... so what? ;_; | ||

At least try to ask Blizzard to change the replays IDs or whatever is the problem, but saying you won't release it as if it wasn't something people expected is sad, replays were a huge reason for people loving MLG. | ||

Couldn't MLG just release all the replays after the event is over? So sad about the loss of replays. Edit: saw the mlg response a couple of posts up. Sorry, I'm not a tech guru. All I know is I loved being able to access the pro replays and analyze them in depth in my own free time. Almost everything I do in this game I pulled from or learned from MLG replays. I still <3 MLG, I'm just really really going to miss the replays. Hope yall find a way and the time to continue releasing the replays to the public. | ||

No offense Lee, but u might consider hiring professional OB for the game if u dont want release replays. The current OB sucks ... | ||

Basically what im saying above is, any high level player at that event, we can get a replay of regardless of whether they played at a previous MLG. And why doesnt this happen at other events? | ||
