Replays will not be released. It is part of our sponsorship deal. End of story. Not releasing replays is just lame. The only semi-legit reason not to release replays would be to protect the players' strats/playstyle. If this is a marketing decision by Razer, someone should tell them they are doing more harm than good. How do i start a petition to Razer...   | ||

B) Perhaps you haven't considered how much is being invested. This was not a decision by Razer, but rather by us. We are giving Razer a "bang for their buck" for lack of a better term and that includes the name and logo attached to media seen by the viewer...cant do that with a replay. C) Dont start a petition to Razer because it is simply part of the contract. | ||

But, as a supporter of TL and Razer, this seems to be a bad decision and they could get so much more exposure with proper release of the replays. I cant understand why anyone thinks vods alone are superior so feel free to post your arguments | ||

You can tell him one time without flaming the crap out of him, like "By releasing replays, we would get less VOD views, thus less promoting for our great sponsor! It's part of a deal, I hope you can enjoy it anyway :-)" | ||

I would like to see the replays as well, but I fully respect the decision made by the TL.net staff, since they just want the best for the TSL, which also consists of having good relations to your sponsors. However, I just recently saw, that some Chinese league (PLU or something?) has maps, where the fog of war is partially removed in the beginning, to reveal said "PLU" letters. I think this has potential and could be considered for the next TSL, no? Nice idea actually. Fill the replays with razer icons and put their logo on the map tiles themself (like in pringles?) and then they'll be as good as vods for adverts. I'd forgotten about that.  | ||

A good idea would've been to edit the maps to have the Razer logo on the ground like they did for the Pringles MSL or something =O. edit: oops I"m in idiot, didn't read the thread. | ||

Please. Show some mental fortitude and realize the world goes beyond your limited and personal "needs." Replays would be nice, but we cant have em. Move on. | ||

Well if its a 10 sec product clip or subtle name dropping and endorsement by the commentators, i agree this sort of advertising is hard to implement into replays. One way of doing something similar is to make the user navigate through a bunch of ads on the site before having access to the replays, but really this isn't a big deal. The huge exposure you are missing out on are the people who do not watch vods, and people who do not know about TL or Razer, those are the people who should have priority. Like a guy who comes across a Razer TSL replay on some random replay site, or maybe it was given to him by a friend, whatever. He in turn gets to know about Razer and TL.net. Everyone on TL.net knows about Razer and TSL, there is no need to advertise to these people any more. I hope you can see my point that replays are a much better tool than vods to get to those guys outside the community (who are the people that really matter), or those that would never have seen the vods anyway. This is similar to the mp3 argument, where the ease of obtaining music allowed exposure to people who would not have even known about it and would have had zero chance of buying the cd. | ||
