This is incredibly frustrating and stupid bad move MLG. where else can you get a good mess of replays. Private information also definitely isnt stored in a replay the would be a privacy violation and illegal for blizzard to do. You Cannot DDOS someone from getting their replays
fuck the haters

The best solution to the chat spam / lag problems is to set busy mode and join six chat channels before playing a game to prevent further invites. It seems MLG doesn't want to release replays (perhaps under pressure from Korean teams?) and is using this as an excuse.


If you upload a replay to this site http://replayfu.com/ it then makes a page that in fact has the character codes of the players.

It would seem like a very easy step.

Regardless, just release the replays after the event to everyone, WHY NOT?


No it doesn't, I just checked. Please don't spread misinformation. It seems to me like R1CH is completely right in this matter. The korean teams won't accept having 30+ of e.g. Alicia or GanZi released if they make it deep. It's a huge deal for korean teams.

Click that link and see player names and character codes.


The data isn't in the new replays, this is for old replays or profiles where they were able to get the character codes from www.battle.net / sc2ranks.com

I was one of the first ones to scrape the cr~p out of sc2ranks when they still had _all_ the character codes.

EDIT:

I think it's getting painfully obvious that MLG is bullshitting us with the information they have released Oh well, if they don't want to release the reps, there's nothing we can do. Just kinda disappointed with how MLG handles this stuff (another example being the removing of 2GD from the livecast of a recent Quake event because of _one_ criticizing comment)

Think its a shame, but it was properly needed, I did not really use the feature anyway, but I much prefer lag-free matches on stage, compared to so open-bracket games from a replay.
I thought! I thought!

Thats a replay from past 2 days. Is there something at work here that only allows me to see these character codes?

It's not based on the age of the replay, it's the age of the bnet account.

Absolutely retarded, there are already replays of every player available, that reason doesn't make any sense for not releasing replays.

What the shit

Why does an SC2 replay have that kind of data in it?


This was EXACTLY my thought when I read this news. How on earth does something like a replay have that type of info?

I sincerely doubt the Koreans pressuring (if they even did) MLG had anything to do with this decision. If they're incorrect about being able to acquire character information, then it's simply probably a mistake or misinformation on their part.

MLG wouldn't need to lie, especially one that would be discovered, to the community to simply say they'd no longer not be releasing replays.

I remember MLG releasing this big news after MLG Dallas. One of the points was: "In the future, we will releasing the replays almost immediately after the matches have been played." Something like that. It's definitely an excuse for something else.

We will miss so many great games, especially from the open bracket and we wonÄt a chance to ever see them, besides some casts from the chosen casters.

Seems like ESL is the only major tourney organization left that still releases replays. It's a shame since there won't be many replays of serious, refined builds for the public. I was especially interested in the builds of Koreans

Blizzard should implement a correct whisper blocking as soon as possible. That should be no rocket science (takes a coffee break maybe?). The fact that the leak of your character code can lead to you not playing is just absurd. MLG does the right thing, temporarily, after what they witnessed at Columbus. But they could release replays to everyone afterwards and should change their policy back once it is fixed by Blizzard.

Certainly they're not doing this because they don't want unapproved youtube commentary doing their games, and it's not as if the korean teams were pressuring them to stop doing it anwyay, and oh look blizzard can be used as a scapegoat absolving them of any wrongdoing...

I believe MLG makes new accounts or uses Blizzard's tournament accounts for the later rounds of the brackets in an attempt to avoid these issues.

Yeah, this seems incredibly fishy to me. Very doubtful there's enough data encoded in replays to get DDoS'd.

There's already a host load of Korean replay files out there, if this was the excuse that MLG is using, I don't really get it.

I think it would be a good idea to put your first post in this thread into the OP to avoid any further confusion.

Wow sounds like a bunch of bull, I don't think what they're saying doesn't possible at all.
how in the world would the replays contain data that could be used to DDoS the player?
even if it contains the IP, it'd contain the MLG IP. (Why in the world would the replay contain the ip anyways) Just sounds like they made it up...
Now, it's completely up to them to decide whether or not to release replays, but quite disappointing..
Why not just be honest and say that the Korean progamers didn't want their replays released?

As I don't own starcraft 2 anyways, I'm not affected by this.
But nonetheless, I am glad to see that they give replays to selected casters so I can watch it. :-)

just tweet @MLGsundance, he probably stares at his twitter the entire tourny looking at what people think of it. Last time it got him to do some stuff.
