Finding your replay
Every match uploads to the BAR replay site at beyondallreason.info slash replays. Private matches are exempt from automatic saving. Find your game there and copy the link.
Submitting for review
Create a thread in the Academy chat channel using the button in the upper right. Paste your replay link and your in-game name if it differs from your account. The system works like a ticket queue, and mentors review games when they have time.
Be clear about what you want help with. A general replay review works fine if you are unsure where to start. Specific questions about economy timing or unit composition get faster targeted answers.
What to expect
Mentors are volunteers with their own schedules. Review is not instant. The turnaround depends on how many submissions are ahead of yours. Patience here pays off with genuinely useful feedback rather than rushed commentary.
Reporting players through the server
If a replay shows behavior that needs reporting, go to server4.beyondallreason.info slash battle, find the match, click the players tab, and file your report from there. You can also search player names on the relationships page, though the search field has a known bug where pressing enter breaks the query.
Learning with Creed of Champions
Getting replay feedback in a supportive environment accelerates improvement. Creed of Champions runs structured training sessions where experienced players break down game decisions without the condescension that drives people away from RTS games.
