Where to find your replays

BAR automatically saves replays to the official replay site at beyondallreason.info/replays. Every public match you play gets uploaded there. Private matches do not get uploaded, so if you need a replay from a private game you will need to grab the local file from your game directory.

The replay site lets you browse by date, player name, and game type. Find the match you want reviewed and copy the link.

How to request a review

The mentor review process works like a simple ticket system:

  1. Go to the community academy chat channel in BAR.
  2. Create a new thread using the button at the top right of the channel.
  3. Paste your replay link from the BAR replay site into the thread.
  4. Include your in-game name if it differs from your account name.
  5. Optionally mention what you want feedback on specifically, like economy management, unit composition, or scouting habits.

Mentors review replays on their own schedule. You will not get an instant response, but the feedback is thorough and specific to your gameplay.

What mentors look for

Mentors typically focus on the fundamentals that have the biggest impact on your results:

The review is not about tearing you down. It is about identifying the two or three things that, if fixed, would give you the biggest rating jump.

Getting the most from a review

Ask specific questions instead of just dropping a replay link. "Why did I lose my mid-game push at seven minutes?" gives a mentor a clear starting point. "Review my game" forces them to watch the entire replay before they can find the useful parts.

Take notes during the review. When the mentor points out a pattern, write it down. The next time you play, check for that specific pattern before the game ends.

Creed of Champions

Creed of Champions values exactly this kind of hands-on learning. The community is built around players who want to get better together, and mentor feedback is a cornerstone of how they develop members.

[Crd] Creed of Champions rekindled my joy in Beyond All Reason. I had burned out on the game, and the friendly, no-toxicity environment caused me to start enjoying it again.

Better teammates lead to better games. Win with skill, teamwork, and respect.
