Thats not it, they said they will be given to casters and made available for free anyway. I am really disappointed, even if they switched to vods I would still be sad, its much harder to analyze a build order from a vod than it is from a replay, and I barely ever watch vods because they waste my bandwidth cap... I love looking at progamer replays for new builds, and MLG was the best source. I sincerely hope they change their mind and release the replays after the event is finished. | ||

I am very frustated about this decision and it takes a lot of the events value for me. | ||

prove it to me that you can't go on a sc2 replay site using known names listed on the MLG player list and find replays you could only find at MLG, and i would concede that this move makes any difference at all. if it can't be done at all or without incredible amounts of time spent, then all this does is make the tournament worse by a lot. A LOOOT maybe in some cases it's different, but i pretty much feel about this, how i feel about DRM and piracy. you're making your legitimate supporters seriously pissed off for a protective measure that is incredibly fragile to a persistent, knowledgable person | ||

Be glad that they've released what they have, they had absolutely no obligation to release replays ever. | ||

GSL does not release replays (unless its a very special occasion) and i've never seen anyone make mention of it. Just because MLG used to do it and now doesn't anymore is an issue? Be glad that they've released what they have, they had absolutely no obligation to release replays ever. I hope MLG will upgrade their VODs to some like GSL. Cuz now we cant watch specific games :< | ||

1) Other people profiting from an event that someone else forks money out for ... Its unacceptable in business. 2) Players being uncomfortable having replays en mass handed out to the general public (small problem) These are the two main reasons I see for not providing replays. But VODS should always be provided. And as the industry grows, the amount of 'free stuff' is going to disappear because of the costs involved. I 100% support MLG in the non release of replays. | ||

I'd agree with you except they don't broadcast 90% of their games, so they are not even prepared to showcase the product themselves, why should they care if someone wants to recast it? You don't see anyone complaining about gsl because you can get nice vods of every single game. I am biased in this because I don't like vods and prefer replays due to my shitty australian internet, but atleast the GSL provides you with a means of accessing the content, this is essentially saying nobody will ever see a large number of the games played. Whats the point of a tournament if you can't watch the games? If they get someone to cast every single replay I'll eat my words, but somehow I doubt it will happen, thats a LOT of games. | ||

Like what many others have said before, trolls who are bent on doing this would probably brute force their way through all the possible char codes and still chat spam the players. ? What would this do? /dnd already does pretty much everything you could ever want... ( If only they would add it to bnet 2.0 like their previous bnet 1.0 games had... chat commands were pretty cool back then...) blocks all messages completely + you can't go back and read them either even if you wanted to or they could just add "LAN" support for the game? also further reduces latency ( and no one could message them ) | ||

Good idea, lets deny a service that fans dearly love, because it'd be awful if someone else made a couple of dollars. Yeah, lets fuck over thousands of fans instead, that 20$ that one commentator made from casting MLG replays on his youtube is RUINING ESPORTS I normally have a lot of respect for you and whatever you post Boss but this is just... | ||

They should probably get the casters to cast the replays. Which it seems they are doing something similar so in the end the games will be seen... I think the actual top16 format is thething that needs to change. | ||
