UPDATE (08/04/2007) : version 1.1, added 28 reps. Update from version 1.0 available here.
Draco[pG], mYm.Draco, Nal_Draco, Sparkyz_Draco... all these nicks sound familiar to anyone who's been following the StarCraft scene these last 3-4 years.
Krzysztof Nalepka, aka Draco, is a young Protoss player who was recently admitted in Korea's well-known progamer team OGN Sparkyz. In October, Draco managed to give a harsh time to iloveoov at the WCG in Monza after being finally beaten 2-1.
Someone requested Protoss rep packs recently, so Knickknack asked me if I was interested to make a rep pack about Draco. The following pack is the result of hours of our mutual efforts : Download Draco replay pack (37 MB, RAR file, 459 replays)
Yeah, 459 replays. We started with ~1200 but after removing duplicates, corrupted files and fakes, ended up with 431. Of course, we are aware we have missed a lot of replays ; this is where YOU can help. If you have a replay that is not already included in this package, please send it to us. We will update the package with what you provided us. Sending out replays is not the only way you can help : if you feel that some replay is a fake or that we missed some aka, don't hesitate to tell us so in this very thread.
Other than that, any constructive feedback is welcome

Haha, thanks :D Actually, I made up some PHP page (using RepASM) to do the job for me, so besides some specific things about AKAs, I think I can reuse it to make other packs
The only thing I noticed so far was in the 1.10 pvz section there is a sparkyzdraco rep vs mondi that could not have been back then. I'm assuming its 1.14
Taiche and Knickknack always doing good stuff for everyone. We all know Knickknack <3 Protoss. Taiche you are a Protoss player too? (If bandwidth is needed tell me and I upload it at yellowchrome.org)
Thanks Physician Yeah, I'm a toss user too, but I'm not even decent -_-; Bandwidth is OK I guess, hopefully my ISP will notify me if there's a problem with it but I don't think so since this stuff is completely legal. But thanks for the offer
I absolutely LOVE YOU guys, I think I will fall in to the tomb with my PC and I won't go out till I will see them all. Thank you very much, it had to take a lot of time
3 new Draco reps. Leg > Draco 2-1. Kind of surprised,but have not seen reps yet. Not sure about vs reach and f91 yet. http://www.box.net/public/98lpkpg64j
Are there actually ppl who watch all of the reps in packs like these? Thanks for the work, but it's too much of a hassle to find out which are the good ones...I'll just watch a couple random ones.

For example if I have troubles with some MU on a particular map(And now I have problems almost with all MU's on all maps because I am starting now after 6 months of 100% inactivity)
I pick some of these replay packs and watch as many replays of the same player on the same map/MU as I can, so than I will know how does he react on a particular situation and pick the good things from that.
Plus it is always entertaining to watch players like these guys who are way better than you are because there are always some little things and issues that they do automatically and that I am not able to handle or pull out by myself... +I am Draco's fan and hundred percent Prottoss -_-
So definitely YES! There really ARE people like that, and I am the shiny example
Draco improved a HUGE, his first replays were with apm/eapm 160/even below 100 and now he pulls out even Pro-rated 300/200, still he needs more experiance and balls as well after seeing IEST replays where he got pimped by ballsy Legion and got so scared against Reach that he tried those stupid all-ins....
Anyway still I am his fan and many of his replays are funny and unconventional, lets hope all he will really make it to Starleague at some point
Draco: this is MADNESS Draco: 4pool please Draco: Lets do this quick. Draco: 4pool yo maix: ok maix: lings running Draco: lings hello Draco: i dont like u lings :<
OK, updated the pack and added the 28 replays Knickknack provided us. Thanks to the "solid archive" tip araav gave in FA's replays thread, the size of the pack decreased from 50 MB to 37 MB Update from 1.0 to 1.1 is here (exact same file as Knickknack's)
Awesome knicknack <3 i was thinking of getting them all this morning. Holy shit, testie was on fire yesterday! brood and i watched the two vs testie last night and were really impressed with his play: must watch out of that pack
Some games are really entertaining, most of them are <5min rapes, but well, its Draco ;-) Dl people, no limit on transfer so feel free to use my server.
just want to point out that its nice to go back through these old replays and look at some of the names hes played. Mind, sheis, and some others he played before they became really famous
If that doesn't work for some reason, you need to check which version the replays are (using bwchart, for example, load them all and sort by version), and then use the appropriate executable for each version (you can find execs for the old versions easily, just search for starcraft 1.14 executable, for example).
