Submit a replay for review

BAR offers a mentor system where experienced players review your replays and provide constructive feedback. Getting your game reviewed is one of the fastest ways to improve your play. The process is straightforward.

First, your replays are automatically saved to the BAR replay website after public matches. Private matches do not upload automatically. Go to the replay site to find your recent games. Pick the one you want reviewed.

Starting the review thread

Head to the designated review channel in the BAR community space and create a new thread. Drop the replay link from the website into the thread. If your in-game name is different from your community handle, include that so the mentor can match the replay to the right player.

This works like a ticket system. Mentors review submissions when they have time, so expect a delay rather than instant feedback. Being patient and specific about what you want help with gets better responses than just dumping a link and waiting.

What mentors look for

Mentors examine build order efficiency, unit composition choices, map control decisions, and response timing to enemy moves. They can spot exactly where a match tilted against you and suggest concrete adjustments. Some mentors will review, others will give friendly roasts. Both approaches help you spot bad habits you cannot see in your own gameplay.

Watching replays at higher chevron levels also teaches a lot, though playing against significantly better opponents risks one-sided matches where the stronger player pushes too hard and the match ends before anyone learns anything.

Questions about learning the game

Players new to BAR have a dedicated space to ask questions anytime. Mentors circulate through that space regularly and answer strategy questions, unit breakdowns, and build order puzzles. The community spans across time zones, so someone is usually around to help regardless of when you play.

Creed of Champions

Getting replay reviews is how we push past our own blind spots. Creed of Champions is built around that exact idea — players who want honest feedback in a supportive setting, delivered by people who treat every game as a learning opportunity.

"I love being able to communicate with my team, getting and sharing tips and constructive feedback on gameplay, and having a good spirited community."

If replay reviews and genuine teammates sound like your scene, the Creed is a good fit.
