I personally want the replays so I can improve, but since there is going to be a massive delay from event to release, the metagame will already have shifted.
Back to lame VODS again, (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
In some senses. But the metagame will not shift so completely in a month or two that the replays are no longer valid.

And if I understand Lee correctly, once Blizz gets their act together, MLG will be able to release replays during the tournament like they did at every event before Anaheim. The wait is only until Blizz patches the issue.

Can't wait to get my hands on DRG's replays.

So what exactly are these 'chat spam' issues that you talk about? Forgive my ignorance on the subject but I'm pretty tech dumb and haven't really heard of any kind of issue until now.
If it's something that can't really be discussed on an open forum then that's okay, but my curiosity is burning.

I'm gonna be honest, it really sucks that MLG will not release the reps earlier.
That being said, it's obvious that they have their reasons and i'm glad that they are willing to be so transparent about the issue. Props to them ^^

Evidently sending a person a lot of chat requests/messages can lag their game really badly.

fantastic because this MLG had a lot you could learn from in terms of builds and strategies.
|
Thank you for the updates!! Everything I was hearing was at least 5th and 6th hand, so it's nice to hear it straight for once!
Just out of curiosity though...if the replays are released after the patch, won't that mean that they'd be incompatible with the new patch, so we'd run into the issue of having to log out and sign back in to view the replays?
|
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!
I was so sad when i thought i wouldn't get the replays. It's always been something i loved the most about MLG!
So glad to know it's in blizzard's hands... and now... we wait...
|
Sick info, Great thread. MLG Has a bright bright future ahead of them, MLG FIGHTING! lol
|
GomTV has a lot to learn from MLG, thanks Sundance!
|
Better late than never! Excellent news.
|
So who won the footrace at Anaheim O.o
|
This is a really positive step, and it's nice to see MLG being transparent like this. I would really be interested, once the issue has been patched, to hear a more detailed account of the technical side of this problem. From the OP, it sounds like the chat spam issue wasn't the only problem that they wanted addressed (they say it was much broader than that but don't go into more detail), and I'd be really curious to know more about that.

Has something like that been discussed by any chance? I was going to suggest something like this. Blizzard could make a special "tournament" edition for major tournaments. I would imagine Blizzard would be concerned with the special edition being leaked somehow.

this is very good news

Yess Thank you MLG
|
Thank you for making this happen. Much appreciated.
|
A little bit confused here. So replays are going to be sent to casters first, then released to the general public at a later date? How long is that time period? What is the point of doing this? As much as I want to hail MLG a savior and such, this seems like a really stupid thing to do without any context.
