Just got this email. It looks like NASL may have taken the MLG replay situation as an opportunity to pounce on:
NASL Season One Replays Hello guys! Hope everyone has been enjoying some quality Starcraft II time in the past several weeks. Many of you have been sending us questions, asking about replays. We are pleased to announce that we are indeed releasing replays for Season 1! Where can you find them? Easy enough, by clicking the link below: nasl.tv/Public/Replays/NASL_Replays_Season_1.zipAs you enjoy those, I want to remind everyone to hang tight as Season 2 rolls around sometime in late August (details to come soon). Enjoy! - NASLSeasonOne

Awesome. Does anyone know if this is all replays for the entire season (cause that's gotta be a TON!) or just the finals?
|
Or maybe they are just releasing their replays...

I'm at work, so I can't check. But it's 53 MB, so there are definitely a lot of replays in there.

Weeks 1-9
Tiebreakers
Playoffs
Finals

Wow I love you NASL
.. well almost ( Gretorp factor )
but still a nice move although they are outdated and I will only watch MC games
|
OH YEAH :D! nice 
|
Doesn't replace what I could have gotten from MLG, but it'll do.
|
589 to be exact. Is this only for people who got the HD pass or accessible for everyone?
|
This is great news! TY for link... cant wait to watch the entire finals from replays
|
I wonder how long before someone puts it on a torrent so non-subscribers also have access. Still, good on NASL.

It seems to be for everyone. Also, you cannot sell replays, so I don't think they could charge even if they wanted to.
|
Just another way for them to keep the hype going until season 2 and keep people excited.

I think it is great they are releasing the replays, but at the same time many of those replays are from a vastly different metagame than we have now so I don't know how useful it might be. Very cool nonetheless.

I asked because last time I talked to one of their mods on stream they told me replays won't be released at all. Nice surprise, I guess. Watch and learn, MLG!

|
|
I suspect that they just sent the email to subscribers, but figured there was no way to prevent them from getting out to everyone else, so they'll just let that happen on its own.
|
wow amazing. reps from the finals included as well? :O

Weird.... I would have thought they'd try to restrict it to only premium subscribers.
But I guess they're smart, if they tried to restrict, someone could easily make them publicly available.

|
Yes! finally get to see boxer! ( I didn't pay first time around, have this time, to be met with no emperor :'( )
|
Thankyou so much! <3
|
Nice! Anyone have some recommended replays to check out? That's a lot of replays!

Yeah they would likely get posted on sc2rep.com and other sites immediately, I wouldn't bother.

YES! Now this is how it's done. NASL <3
(MLG, ball is in your court now- you know what to do)
EDIT: ho ho ho, MC puma finals. so sexy.
|
MLG, take notes. 
Also, I'm so glad they packed these replays properly, separating them into weeks and divisions and such. MLG replay packs are usually just everything stuck into one .zip, and you have to categorize them yourself.
Props to NASL.
|
That's awesome! Thanks guys
|
Wow this is amazing. So many replays, plenty of interesting ones for everyone. I wanted a closer look at some of these games and now I get to!!! Very awesome NASL
|
omg, brb 10hours watching replays!
|
Smart move capitalizing on the negative press MLG has been receiving regarding the replays.
|
Good timing with the downtime on NA. Thanks!
|
Hope you guys enjoy the replays! <3
|
You know - for all the flak NASL has gotten over their season, you have to admit they cater to the community more then any other sc2 organization out there.
Looking forward to season 2!
|
slap in a face for mlg :d
|
These replays are not numbered. How do I know which one is set 1, which one is set 2?
|
|
|
But wait, you don't want season 2 to get DDoS'd!
+ Show Spoiler +Big thanks for releasing these.
|
I stopped watching NASL after the week where they did the racist jokes during the 6 pool video, but this gesture is so magnanimous that I think I'll given them another chance next season.
Well played, NASL.

Am I the only one these aren't working for? Get the SC2 mouse cursor and a black screen but then nothing.
|
^^ yeah me too, all I get is blank window with the cursor.. (??).
edit:I'm going to try them in game after extracting
The work when I extract them, maybe something to do with not having the maps, and trying to load the game directly from an archive. But yeah, just extract them and watch em.
|
|
|
Ahh, the invisible hand of the market working wonders yet again.
|
someone can recommend me some good replays in it?? 590 a bit much =)))
|
Excellent news! I congratulate NASL for doing this. Releasing replays will help the esports community as a whole as it raises the bar of SC2 games in general by giving us the opportunity to study from the masters.
Good job NASL! MLG please learn!
|
|
|
|
|
Simply AMAZING. Is nice to see that NASL listen the hardcore community after the pathetic issue of MLG and the replays. Thx!
|
Meh. Are we supposed to celebrate this? I had to struggle through audio issues, video editing faux pas, and a finals that should've been called: Blair Witch 2: NASL.
I earned these reps... through hard work.

I would recommend going to nasl.tv/Videos and looking at all of the featured videos. They were chosen specifically based on the quality of the games, each division/week. That would be a good place to start and then work your way down.
And don't forget to check out the finals!
- NASL
|
Releasing the replays makes a lot of sense. This allows everyone to dissect the builds of Korean players and learn them a lot faster.
|
Thank you soooo much! Such a gargantuan number of high level of replays will be very useful.
|
Time for MLG for doing the same.
|
Damn NASL this is epic! I can't wait to sift through all these and get some hardcore analysis goin on :D
As others have said, hopefully MLG takes note.
|
Wow, NASL just iced the cake.
|
Holy crap. This is so many top-level replays! Thanks NASL, I'll definitely be tuning in even more so than last season
|
|
|
Wow this is awesome. Gotta give NASL huge props for this after MLG tried to lie through their teeth about replay vulnerabilities.

I see what you did there, and somehow think that sentence is going to come up from now on in any thread involving Xeris for the next little while. :p
EDIT: Also, thanks for releasing these, downloading right now.

Well... bad production is a little more forgivable I guess if I get my hands on a few dozen awesome game replays -.-
|
Thx! Now NASL is > MLG.
I fuckin hate mlg for what they did... replays are the only reason why i care for mlg
it significantly increased my skill level until they stopped releasing it...
|
So good. Sen reps marathon incoming!
|
cannot wait to check these out
thanks NASL
so many great games....so many games

Holly shit! This is like holiday!
|
This is the awesomest birthday gift ever! I love studying replay of top players from big events/leagues.
Thank you!
|
Must just be my sc2 install, but for some reason I cant load up any of the finals (MC vs Puma) replays. My sc2 is just a black screen, anyone know why? (I know this is kinda not on topic, was just wondering cause I really want to see these replays!)
Edit: Never mind I figured out a way to make it work. I couldn't launch it directly from windows, had to put the replays in my replays folder and then only after signing into sc2 and running the replay from there would it load up the older version of sc2.
|
I get mixed up because there's so many games, but NASL grand finals was where July was using a pretty nice +2 roach timing attack in ZvZ, right?
|
to those people who think these are old in the metagame, these replays are NOT that old. a lot of these builds are still gonna have A LOT of practical use for the bronze-low masters player up to probably about a few months from now. again thx NASL
|
|
|
Wow, I never knew that they were going to do this. Incredible.

ye me too.
what i dislike though is that all these replays are from older patches 
hate having to restart the client for that... even in guest mode it takes a long time

Big thanks for releasing these!
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much NASL! I'll be spending my MLG Raleigh money on some nifty NASL apparel instead.
|
|
|
I'm definetly more interested in buying the pass for s2, NASL looks amazing now, with so many koreans etc.
|
really enjoying watching MC play : )
|
I don't understand how this managed to not be spotlighted. How often do we get released  NaDa, BoxeR,  MC,  July replays?
|
Holy, this is awesome. Gonna study Sen/July/Idra/Sheth 1st person play.

Whenever I try and load any of the replays I just get a blackscreen with the SC2 curser.
Anyone know why this could be?
I also noticed a few of the folders didn't even contain any files at all v.v
If there's blank folders that means that the games were walkovers and someone couldn't make it/failed to show up. There shouldn't be any actually missing replays.

I think u only get it when u double click it in windows. It's cos u don't have maps dl'ed. Just start one when u're using SC. It'll dl map and that u will be able to watch them by double clicking.

That's alot of replays. I like this desicion by NASL. There's alot of awesome games in there. Both for stealing builds, but also just to watch myself.
Awesome
|
Awesome. Thanks for the link!
|
I can't even watch the replays. Every time I try to open one up, Starcraft II opens but all I get is a black screen
|
Wow! I've got to clean the underside of my table now -_-
|
Awesome! So many great games to learn and watch! Thanks NASL staff!
|
589 games
Holy Shit. That's like 1/4 of all the games played in the Korean scene in 2011 (~2500 games according to TLPD), for just a single tournament.
|
Wow. How is this only 5 pages. Thanks NASL This is awesome.

Holy shit thats a lot of games.

so this may help some, or be totally obvious to others, either way..
to watch a large batch of old replays without having to login/reload the game for each one:
associate .sc2replay files with ..\StarCraft II\Support\SC2Switcher.exe (by default theyre opened by sc2.exe)
then alt-f4 from the game at the end of the replay (otherwise it autoloads current sc2 into login screen)
1issue: you'll get black screen for any replay where you dont have the map, to fix this, first load your regular sc2 and double click each replay (yes it wont work for 600 games, but you can generally dl all maps from a single round replays), this will download the map first, then prompt u to load old sc, just cancel and click another replay.
happy watching

Just sold me a Season 2 pass as well. I bought a Season 1 pass too. This time Idra better take some ass and kick some names to the crown.

Well that was nice of them.

Only thing that sucks is that because the season was *so* old, a lot of these replays are well behind the current metagame.
That being said HOLY SHIT AMAZING. :D I need some of these Sen ZvZ replays.

No, the finals were only a few weeks ago. :D Puma vs MC, Sen vs July... it all is still quite fresh, imo.

I agree that the finals were only weeks ago, but keep in mind that the first games being played were what, 4 months ago? That's ages in the life span of the game. I'm not saying this as a jab at NASL, I just think that the metagame for some of the earlier matches is different enough from our current metagame that they won't be all that useful.
As the season progresses though, and certainly for the finals and final bracket, those games will be closer to what the game looks like right now and will be of more use.

This is incredible, I was hoping they'd release these badboys, lots of stuff I want to dissect :D
