There is no good solution on Twitch for viewing vods sequentially without spoilers. This vodarchive has been running for about a year or maybe more and countless hours has been poured into making it the best user experience possible. Take a look at the features listed below.
The vod service only lists premium tournaments like: GSL, WCS, SPL and even LCS (league of legends).
Some of the features:
When a vod is finished the next one will automatically play.
For touchscreen users you can toggle a checkbox to prevent being redirected to twitch when clicking in the vod.
The vods are fetched automatically every 15 minutes from Twitch.tv as soon as they are available.
No Spoilers. Subsequent match vods are hidden and by revealed by clicking "Reveal vod"
Intelligent sorting and categorizing. The system sorts all the vods and puts them into neatly organized sections. All done automatically.
Remember last watched vod for each twitch channel. By creating a user with your Facebook/Twitter/Google/Email&Password this is stored to your account meaning you can switch computers and it still remembers.
Live broadcast embed is available whenever a channel is live.
For some events we also have custom sections. MLG Anaheim 2014 can be watched from start to finish in the correct order without any spoilers.

- Lists vods from Twitch.tv/gsl - Groups vods by Season, Group, Match - No spoilers: By default hides Set #2+ until you click the "Show next" button.
Enjoy GSL! So glad it's back!
This sounds kinda illegal. Arent the Vods subscriber only except the first match of each set?
No. He's just organizing and linking stuff. So if you click on a link to a subscribers only VOD, if you're not suscribed you won't be able to see it, despite how nicely its organized.
Thank you so much! The twitch experience is SO much worse than Gom's own hosting from years prior. I'm just starting to watch Code A and I was ready to give up because the past broadcasts are such a damn mess.
Nearly every game has the same description with no way to view what it is without opening the link. Oh, and if you leave that page you lose more place and have to hit "load more" 10,000 times. Gah!
tl;dr Thank you for doing Gom's job of indexing their VODs.

This. I love GOM and understand it's more economical for them to have Twitch/Youtube host VODs than to do it themselves but they should at least make an "official" page of this type so subscribers don't have to deal with the nightmare that is Twitch VODs.
GomEXP is defintely going to have this. I have faith in GOM for them to see the value in this. The question is when and the "when" is why I made the vod crawler. I love GSL and will happily support them with homemade features.
I've updated a bit since launch: - Remembers your last watched vod. - Embeds the vods - which means the vods launch a faster (in my experience) - Added Code A / S to section headers.
The worst thing about Twitch VOD's is that even if you fullscreen it whilst avoiding the match length, that awful purple bar at the bottom doesn't go away which gives away whether someone is successful in their all-in or not.
I don't understand how after all this time, twitch with all their tournament streams has not designed a good vod page yet. That should be one of the high priority features to add.
- Fixed: Once the vodlist on twitch was larger then 100 videos earlier videos were missing. - If you log in on the website last watched vod will be stored to your user. I have a laptop I use in bed so when I switch between my livingroom and bed I don't have to remember what vod I watched last. The progress is still stored with cookies - which means you don't need an account on the website for the system to remember what you watched last.
