I'm happy they're letting us know in advance though, and giving us an explanation so that we don't think there's any shady business or laziness going on ^^ | ||

the DDOS mentioned in OP refers to people mass whispering players over battle.net. apparently, even if the player sets their status to busy, the whisper is still sent but the player just doesn't see the whisper message. | ||

You can parse the character code from replay files. Using the character code and the players name, idiots can then add the players names and spam them messages constantly. Even though players are set to busy, Battle.net saves the messages in order to send them all out once the player leaves the game. However, Battle.net can only save so much information, so when the idiots spam spam spam spam it overloads and flushes out all messages at once, lagging the player out mid-game damaging the integrity of the tournament. Yes this is Blizzard's issue to work with, yes it would be solved with LAN, but no MLG is not at fault and their response to protect the integrity of the tournament is completely valid. Sucks but necessary. I'm sure if we make a big enough fuss they'll consider releasing them after, but keep in mind that effectively means any accounts they used this event become compromised and they'll need to acquire more for the next event. | ||

If it's Bnet info in the replay that matters, aren't there replays of all these players available elsewhere on the internet? If it's ip info which would allow people to target MLG, can't they just release them afterwards, and remove the info, if they have to? | ||
