The old replay system effectively had five kinds of “featured” replays. Replay of the Week Gold Silver Expert Popular There was far too much redundancy. Popular replays were effectively the same thing as silver replays anyway. Replay of the Week is no longer a featured replay, but has been replaced with a “Most popular replay for the week of….” replay on the home page of each game portal. It’s still the replay of the week, but it’s automatically selected by the system. If you’ve noticed, all of the featured replays are now automated or powered by the community in some way, and don’t depend on Replay Reviewer staff to promote them. The reason for this is with the new public reviewing system, there is no longer a need for dedicated replay staff, thus no means of manually selecting and promoting replays. That is not to say there won’t be any replay staff, but there will certainly not be enough to maintain silver, gold, and replay of the week.
