Really? I thought code was there. Well i checked https://github.com/GraylinKim/sc2reader/wiki/Replay.details which seems to indicate that you can get real id from the file, which is even worse (not sure if the source is reliable though) | ||

In BW, no replays of any tourney in Korea was released( not counting the early years ). This will make copy a build or study a player much harder thus make games that played in tournies seems more prestige and more fun. This sucks for the mass but I believe most pro are welcoming this. | ||

Beside reasons that MLG stated, not releasing replay is a way to protect players from being over studied thus make the game less fun.

This approach is dumb. If that's the case, they might as well stop streaming their games because a lot of intel is gained by your rivals. The more involved the community is in watching and understanding the game, the better it is for the sport on a whole. We aren't living in the past where this kind of freedom was limited. | ||

This is irrelevant because most players already went to Columbus and MLG released those replays so MLG should already be at risk anyway... it's obviously just a thinly veiled cover story so they can make us pay for vods or watch tons of advertisements, gotta love selling out | ||

However, they say this is against ToS (while selling a replay is definitely prohibited, the ToS is less clear about this situation). Of course Blizzard would NEVER prosecute them for doing so, and if they wanted to be safe, a simple request letter would surely result in permission. | ||

Erring on absolute caution, I can see why they don't want to release replays during the event. Wait, so will replays be released after the event? (didn't read through all 40 pages sry :/ ) answer 2 posts above mine, sry | ||
