I hope it isn't too delayed, the fluxing aspect of SC2 game play may in turn cause these replays to be irrelevant in terms of current strategies.
I also do not understand how releasing these replays would inversely affect the ability of casters to release content. The motivations for watching a casted game and watching a replay are two GREATLY different aspects.
Thoughts? From a strategic point of view this is certainly true. However I would hope that at least some people would like to see the reps purely to view awesome matches  (or the vods once the casters put them up)
However, that is my point entirely, "view(ing) awesome matches" are what the casted games are for, the vast majority will not watch replays for this aspect.
Hence, I do not understand the thinking behind:
"...a) we want to give casters a chance to produce replays without massive overlap and highlight the best matches that weren't on the stream through casted VODs..."

Will all replays be released. I am just a lonely scrub and I want to get my replays from the tournament.

I would guess it's so they can support their trusted casters and give them value for whatever other services or support they provide MLG.
If everyone has the replay and every caster casts the game it's a bit different from directing everyone who wants to see the games to a single casting source.
Not going to speculate on much of anything though, we'll all see how it works as the trusted casters from Anaheim start producing and advertising their content.

Great news. I was pretty 
|
Thanks for the heads up and the cander!
|
at least they are solving the problem.
|
Cool, now we just have to wait patiently for Blizzard to patch this.
|
I'm happy to wait for the replays if it pays off in the end, and it usually do!
Thanks for clearing it up, and thanks for a great event (again ^_^)!
|
Thank you sir! awesome news.

You know, if people really wanted to ruin MLG they could easily launch a massive ddos attack on your network.
Can also find information to do the chat spam exploit if you wanted to.
And holding reps just so casters can maybe cast games is well lol.
Most players want to watch the replays to check builds, games etc. Not to hear it from another caster again.
Sorry but this is just a somewhat excuse to hold replays.

Great news for everyone! :D

Again? 90%+ of the games were not casted at the tournament, thus the majority of casters time will be spent on casting great games that didn't get aired for whatever reason. Mostly open bracket I'd assume.
I think delaying to give casters time is fine. Not sure why everyone is having a hissy fit over it. Glad to see Blizzard saying they'll fix whatever the problem was so MLG can release them too.

Lee, while you're on it and seeming that you are doing quite a goob job at kicking some sense into Blizzard, could you bother mentioning LAN?
|
Still going to be a while, I was hoping it would be in the week. Still this is much better than not getting any replays so I'm content.
|
Blizzard needs to get thier ass in gear then.
|
Question:
So Once this is patched and you're able to release the Anaheim Reps.
Are you going to further delay the replays of Future events? or will they be released immediately?
|
I really congratulate you for stepping up and explaining everything.
Even if i don't really have the opportunity to enjoy your show live (or even nasl's) i'll still buy HD passes just to support this amazing scene.
I really hope it won't be delayed too much but anyway thanks a lot.

What is wrong with you?
You do understand that MLG want to put on a perfect event, if there is literally any way it can be ruined then it will be fixed. If MLG don't fix something, and it goes wrong people like you will be the first ones to put MLG against the wall.
Maybe think before you speak next time. Yeah, people can launch attacks on MLG, but if there's a way they can attack , and it can be fixed. It will be fixed.
Take your entitled attitude elsewhere, because you aren't entitled to the replays from this tournament, and they'll give them out when they please.

This bit i do not get.
You either like one or the other (Vods and Reps) or you like both depending on mood etc.
If you would solely want to watch vods you just wouldn't download the replays no?
Why do Replay watchers have to wait for Vods they don't want to watch?
