EDIT:
************************ NEW REPLAY PACK NOW AVAILABLE..*********************
Replay Pack V2 Link:
+ Show Spoiler +
The new replay pack features 45 Diamond League Zerg replays and a folder titled EXTRAS that has hilarious footage of my Protoss and Terran play (Platinum level) doing fun strats and succeeding with them  If anything, I feel as if you are not interested in the Zerg replays then you should definitely check out the EXTRAS folder for some great entertainment.
I will be switching to Terran so this is why I posted the new replay pack so soon. I will release one of my Terran play once I am in at least Diamond League.
Thank you, and I hope you all enjoy!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hello everyone!
I recently decided while working my way to Master's League that I would make a compilation of replays to view my improvement and the trends in my play, whether good or bad.
I started the replay pack this week so there is not a very large amount of games (there are around 15 so far). I thought maybe I would release them on TL since other players may be able to benefit from viewing them as well for the sake of improvement and a greater knowledge of how other players play in certain leagues.
Most replays have a descriptive name that lists the matchup, the map abbreviation, and a short description of the game. Also, If you all are interested in having more replay packs from me, or if the replays were useful then please leave a comment stating so below.
Again, I am a Diamond level player just sharing a replay pack for those who are interested.
TLDR;
+ Show Spoiler +I am a Diamond level Zerg player releasing a small replay pack for people that want to watch it for their own entertainment or studies.
Replay Pack:
+ Show Spoiler +
EDIT: Since many people have been conversing about this below, the point is not to mimic my game play. It is rather to compare the different play styles between the viewer and myself and my other opponents that are also in Diamond league. If you wish to pick up certain aspects of my game play that is fine, however the whole point of the replay pack is to gain a deeper understanding of what upcoming players (below Diamond) will more than likely be facing later on.
EDIT 2: ***** If you like what you see and would like a voice over commentary when I release Master's League replays in the future LET ME KNOW! I can always do more to provide players with more content. *****
FINAL EDIT: Thank you everyone for your feedback, I will be providing much larger replay packs (of about 30-50 games notable games) in the somewhat near future.
If you guys want to contact me directly regarding any suggestions, concerns, or future plans, you can contact me either via this thread, a TL PM, or on Twitter @InseKtSC2
Thank you.

Sigh time to have to repeat myself....
I stated that I am a Diamond league player, which obviously means I am not the same caliber compared to professionals.
Also, I stated that maybe other players could gain something from them. (For example bronze - gold players mostly)
It is more or less just a way to compare the way people play in each league. I suggest you may want to have a look at it, since you don't seem to be that high caliber of a player yourself from what I can perceive from the stupidity of your question.

I actually think it's good to watch someone around your skill level every once in a while. They make a lot more noticeable mistakes which you then can improve upon.

Calling people stupid when you're diamond league is kind of laughable tbh, also his question is totally valid. There is no reason what so ever anyone that wants to learn would watch replays of a diamond player over a top level pro. Sure they could learn from you but they can learn the same stuff and more from top tier pro replays + watching diamond you might copy some things that are bad and pick up bad habbits, watching pros thats much less likely to happen.

I like the idea, it's a lot easier for a gold-league zerg to watch and emulate a diamond. Often times people just get overwhelmed by the GM replay packs and fall victim to a 'run before you can walk' scenario.

You watch your own replays to see your own mistakes, learning what mistakes other random guys make in diamond doesn't help you at all. If that were a good thing to do someone could make an arguement that a masters level player can watch a bronze player play to see his mistakes, which makes no sense. It would help the bronze player to watch that but it wouldn't really help anyone else

Actually it isn't as realistic for people to watch pro level replays compared to people that are already in the leagues that the viewer is striving for. Majority of the time, the viewers will never reach pro level, meaning they will more likely be competing against the type of replays I have shown, since it is generally the "higher end" play in traditional Diamond League.
It is more practical to learn things step by step then just jump into a pro replay and expect to play their style.

Thank you!!
Lol, this is the point I am attempting to make to some of the comments in this post but they all seem too close-minded to wrap their heads around the idea

Calling romelako stupid and making assumptions about his skill level isn't a real great way to start a thread.
Although I applaud your effort into releasing a replay pack, I strongly urge up and coming players to focus more on pro play rather than amateur. Studying NA Diamond play comes with the risks of picking up bad habits which take time to reverse.
For analogy, as a middle school music student learning the trumpet , I can receive lessons from high school trumpet player, or I can receive lessons from someone who plays for the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. The high school student might give me some tips and tricks, but he may have bad posture or poor breathing technique that I will mimic.
NA Diamond is to Stephano as High School Player is to Boston Philharmonic is a pretty accurate statement I believe.

While i kind of agree that people could be overwhelmed with GM replays, Honestly trying to mimic diamond players isn't something you want to do. Like i said before while there are some things that they might do correctly, there are alot of things that are incorrect, and for any low level players it would be too hard to differentiate between the things they should mimic and the things they shouldn't

The point isn't to mimic my game play at all.
It is to get a basis and understanding of what diamond level players generally do.
People seem to be misinterpreting this as if I am a pro that has posted a replay pack. The only use for this is to compare play styles, not mimic my play.

What makes someone a pro player isn't really their build orders. No matter what league you are in you can take builds from the top level of GM or Masters and use them and it will be good. No that doesn't make you pro and you won't be able to macro / micro and make the decisions that pro / highever level players do, but that doesn't make the builds any less legitamate.

I know your point isn't to mimic, this was in reply to the guy that posted after you ;D

Well basically I'm done commenting in this thread for now but take the thread for what it is worth.
If you are a player who wishes to use the replay pack as a stepping stone forward, then so be it.
The replays are basically just put out there for peoples' viewing pleasures.
Thanks!

This comes across as very self important. The thing is you've posted on Team Liquid. Theses forums are inhabited by numerous high master players. While you are far above average in the overall 1v1 population of SC2, you and I are peons here. There's nothing wrong with posting your replays for all to see, but you have to understand that people are coming here for high level content, and will thus get annoyed with the clutter of lower level junk.
Edit: for grammer
Also, your sig confirms my concept of your self importance.

This isn't a post for self importance, and my signature is just something I have if people wanna communicate with me or watch my stream..
The only reason I posted this which was stated in the original post was because I already made the replay pack for myself so why not throw it out on TL and maybe .1% of people will get something out of it. I realize that there are many masters players on these forums but you have to realize the population of master league players in SC2 is about 1-2% of SC2's entire population.
Like I said, the replays are just put out there if you want to view them, if not, I don't know why people have to comment saying why they don't. If you do not wish to view the replays then don't watch them, simple as that.
EDIT: Also I know there is a large amount of high level content, if they wish to view that then this thread is clearly not the place to do so

As far as I am concerned this thread did what it had to do.
1 person downloaded the pack, and my point was if one person could benefit from this then all of the aggravation in the comments was worth my time.

I could not agree more with you. When I was lower league, I actually found it much more educational to watch diamond level play as they can hold a simple build down and its pretty easy to copy. Pros games and strats are ultra based on scouting whilst doing drops in 4 different places at once while repelling mutalisks. What can a bonze player learn from that?
Thanks for the pack, im sure some people will learn from it.
