Since I can't come up with a good reason not to release them on my own, what is TLs reason to keep them under wraps? :-) | ||

EDIT: Wolf's reason is also a very good one that i hadn't thought of  | ||

Precisely... I agree with this too since it is a way for the players to retain some sort of control on the content they are responsible for creating. | ||

Couldn't they just have the Ref say this is the PokerStat. TSL at the start of the game. That way if people were to cast them they would be getting even more publicity. | ||

2) protecting player builds 3) protecting sponsor logo placement in vod/stream. 4) All production value gone. 5) Lose control over our "product". That being said, all the qualifier TL Opens have replays available for download | ||

The Ref types it out in-game. | ||

Be sure to thank it sometime ok? I hope you keep it this way too, I think keeping player builds secret is important for honesty in future competitions. | ||

We don't think that 1 typed text line at the beginning of a match is adequate for the production we are trying to create. This is not something new. You will never find an OSL,MSL,Proleague,GSL or GSTL replay. | ||

Wait since when? Did Blizzard do something to stop that? And anyways, if you could then theres no reason why some other guy couldn't just take out that message. | ||

That way if people were to cast them they would be getting even more publicity. honestly that should be done with all tournament replays and casters should have to be told "you may use these" etc. it would then give tournaments a face for casters etc. for example imagine if gsl replays were released and at the beginning of the game it had some spiel like: GOMTV Global Starcraft League (GSL) SEASON IV up/down matches Code S xxxxx vs yyyyyy These replays are not to be re-casted with out permission from xyz. What are people going to do? re-cast them and put them on youtube? cool, who is going to look at them? anyone who is notable knows not to do it and anyone not notable won't be known either because they are a bad caster or new. thus the problem is solved. this would allow gom to possibly even reach out to say husky who i personally don't like as a caster, but he is great at promoting e-sports and getting new/lesser-skilled players into the game therefore increasing the profit margin of gom. there are still people who will buy premium tickets, however, i feel the current setup is inefficient in more ways than 1, the question is how to make it better but not what makes it bad. i understand protecting personal property etc, but there has to be a better way than the current way, if the method i mentioned above would work in the theory i provided great. if not, there has to be another possible solution. | ||

90% of the time the referee has the production tab open, it's not like you can't just see what build they are going by watching the VOD >.> I understand about branding and advertising, but saying that not releasing them to 'protect player builds' seems a little silly. | ||

You're not gonna catch the real important subtle timings that make a build good without a replay. | ||

A replay you can see everything exactly while a vod the refs arent studying the food count and timings of everything | ||
