If you scroll down a little more, you'll se my replay to another player, any way here is again: ... you must put or insert the replays to:
- in Win. XP: C:\My Documents\ StarCraft II\ Accounts\ a folder with numbers\ another folder with number and more\ Replays\ Multiplayer\

- in Win. 7: C:\ Users\ <your user name>\ My Documents\ StarCraft II\ Accounts\ a folder with numbers\ another folder with number and more\ Replays\ Multiplayer\

If you don't have that folder just create it with the exact name and paste the replays in there.

Good luck, have fun or g.l. h.f. :)

If Blizzard are going to keep promoting top-notch replays like this, it would be great if they had an auto-replay installer of some kind to make them more fun to collect :)

@Creedsan: With pleasure Creedsan, I like to help people. If you say so then I'll wach that match to with Liquid TLO, but I also like verry much Huk, becose from what I saw in his fight match, he play and likes Zerg, and I did not saw very much pro players whit a skill like that or to be in the top of the most pro players with zergs, at least I did not saw many pro players playing with zerg that good. And I also like BlizzeventK (or Artosis, duno for shure) from how is using the sentrys, and combines that shield with his storm from High Templars, NICE. But Huk remains my favorite, and to be honest, I like Zergs the most.

@TimoBoll: Hello TimoBoll,
For Windows:
Your replays are saved in My Documents > Starcraft II > Account > [random number] > [another random number] > Replays > Multiplayer.

This will put it into your multiplayer folder when you start starcraft.

@TimoBoll: Also, the fact they wont play might be due to one copy of sc2 already running. The game doesn't display any hint then, which does not look like blizz btw ! ;)

Seeing the 1st game from TLO vs Zerg, I think that Terran is way overpowered against Zerg, he dominated the zerg too easily THOR+Hellion+Siege combo, especially THOR has no real counter by zerg if paired with sieges you cannot beat it with ground armies. When you look at Thor's page there is advice to kill it with a combination of zergling/roach/hydra, which gets beaten by hellion/siege very easily.

I would suggest THOR will get the same penalty as Collusus, co the CORRUPTOR could attack it. At lest ZERG would have a direct counter unit to THOR. .... also thor can defend very strongly against air but MUTAS are light so they get !@@%d, corruptor would live longer and with corruption on THOR could bring it down more effectively if THOR could be attacted by AIR attacks.

@Donut: But Brood lords would be a perfect counter against them, would only need a greater spire and you could easily get them up.
