If you start off by lying straight to my face, getting caught and called out on it, and then trying to fix things by doing what should have been done in the first place? Hell no I'm not going to let that slide easy. Forgiven? Sure. I appreciate the gesture. But forgotten? Nope. Don't try that BS again. Or else what? | ||

R1CH confirmed that there was a risk after Lee talked to him privately. It was minor, but understandable given how important it is to not let their be problems at the live event, so any possible avoidance is a good idea. | ||

And that small chance may not mean anything to me, the average viewer, but it would mean a whole lot if I were a competitor and that exploit was used against me to cause me to lag out. MLG has a responsibility to protect the players and part of that involves planning ahead, eliminating possible problems before they arise. I was thrilled about it, but I wasn't gonna argue against something I was getting for free and wouldn't affect my viewing experience. That Sundance and MLG have plans to release the replays, I think, speaks to their continued and outstanding dedication to us, the viewers. I don't think it's getting duped at all. I see it as: MLG saw a risk with releasing replays and decided to hold them (we can argue about the actual risk but they saw a risk) Huge reaction from the community MLG re-evaluates to try to please the community I'm not sure what more you want than a business that listens, and they do; they've shown it time and time again. Thanks MLG. sidenote: It's also one thing to try to figure this out DURING Anaheim and AFTER. | ||

Part of me wants to insult you... how dare you bite the hand that feeds you?! But, honestly, I'm not sure if we would ever see these replays it it wasn't for the community's outcry to begin with. All in all, I'm thankful that it all turned out okay at the end. As the old adage goes, you never know what you have until you lose it. These replays I'm sure will be even more appreciated than before. | ||

I put my money where my mouth is. Will it change anything in the grand scheme of things? Nope. But as a consumer I like to support "esports" when it's done properly. And yes, I had an MLG Anaheim pass. I supported them and thought the event was great. Just didn't appreciate the replay stunt they tried to pull after my money was already spent. | ||

MLGSundance Sundance DiGiovanni @DUCKVILLELOL When we do the full release it will be broad. Starting with key matches for casting then broader for everyone b hmm looks like it won't happen all at once. Only like maybe a few every week. and possibly not all of them released | ||

YOU don't need to. I don't need to. A giant team isn't required to do this lower-end stuff, just a kid with some time and a bad personality. So why take the chance? If they had released the replays like last time and their worries had come to fruition, I can guarantee we ALL would have complained about it. So they wanted to avoid that frustration for us AND the players. People can argue on whether or not it was a threat but they perceived it as such and took the steps to keep everyone safe. | ||

As the old adage goes, you never know what you have until you lose it. These replays I'm sure will be even more appreciated than before. Well to be clear, I personally wouldn't have any problems with an organization NOT releasing replays. I'm pretty used to the Brood War korean scene and the GSL not releasing replays. That's not the issue I have. When the Koreans and the GSL say they don't want to release replays because they don't want to hand out pro player builds... that's PERFECTLY fine with me. If MLG said they didn't want to release replays for the same reason, or even for money reasons - again that's fine with me as long as they are straight up about it. I'm not fine with lying about it or with hand waving. | ||
