It's great the replays will be released but it's unfortunate they lose so much value as learning tools as time goes by simply because of the strategy shifts =(. Oh well, MLG keep up the hard work!

I just love the MLG. I really hope i can get those things and watch those terrans in detail. I was so impressed how much better they were, than their foreign counterparts. Well if we get the replays the players should too, to learn some slayers and im opernings :-)

Dead horse. Beating it won't wake it up ;p

In all seriousness, I suspect that we will never see LAN mode. The digital distribution model is here to stay, whether you're Valve, EA, GameStop or Blizzard. LAN mode fundamentally breaks that model in many, many ways.

The reality is that as we get more connected, the harder it becomes to be disconnected. Aside from the obvious anti-piracy concerns, the problem with LAN mode, is not just taking the game offline and having a lobby, there's dozens of other features that we rely on for a tournament. Most of which we could do without, but still they're there (party chat, lobby, spectator mode, etc)--some of these are tied to b.net, others are not.

Regardless, I have had many, many conversations with Blizzard on the topic. I don't think you'll ever hear them say "no way" -- but I don't think anyone is ever going to tell you "yea sure" either.

We have to engineer around that and that's part of the reason why I'm such a stickler for risk mitigation--even if it doesn't direct sense to the community sometimes.

Thanks for the reply. I was just kidding though; I don't expect to see LAN added to SC2, ever. It would be nice if they were open about it instead of insulting us with blatant lies about it but that's it.

Well you kind of have to release te replays considering the awful VOD system, and the generally terrible design of the MLG site.

Finding the VODs on the page was a total disaster, after I found them the didn't even work well. They are not spoiler free either.

I bought the pass after the MLG was over so I could see the VODS, I have not been able too see many VODS.

I am extremely dissappointed to say the least.
If the VODS are bangin' then the replays can stay hangin'!

I really hate the idea of giving the replays to casters weeks before giving them to public for the next events. It means that when we will get the replays; those will be outdated and there won't be much reason to watch it anymore. very sad.

If you look into a replay file, you can find information such as character id of the players and the observers (not sure).
People can then spam these players/obs with message and the ignore list is limited by Blizzard.

It's strange because I think that finding a character id is easy.

Maybe not LAN for public use, but tournament lan should be there.

Great news =) I was looking forward to watching mlg replays, and got so dissapointet when they wern't released, as Im on a sattelite connection at the moment, and have no chance to watch vods nor stream.

Only concern is after patch, we will have to be watching replays offline ? cause of patch change ? or will it be one of those minor patch updates, so we can watch them while logged in?.

Only time will tell, never the less, this is great news.. Keep up the good work.

being at a high masters level. i fucking promise you copying builds is going to make u improve 1000x fold. I've been winging it nearly every game with broad outlines of builds. But when i copy koreans exactly. Im laying waste to pros left and right. srsly. Making ur own build is very fucking hard unless its some 2 base or 1 base timing and is easy to do.... There is ALOT of tiny shit to work through.
Transitions... Timings.. all of that. If you can understand a koreans decision making, and put forth the time to copy.. your going to tear up some ass.

Thanks, and it is not only build you get to see, but also decision making. You get so much insight.
