Arena Replay Watcher (ARW): Your VOD Study Tool for the Arena Ladder

ARW is designed not for live viewing, but for the serious student of the Arena. This addon dramatically simplifies the process of reviewing historical matches obtained from the ladder's match history.

The default Arena Spectator NPC requires manual entry for every single match. ARW automates this tedious process, transforming match IDs into an efficient, watchable queue.

🎯 Key Functionality & Competitive Edge

• Bulk Processing: Accepts a clean, CSV-like list (Player_Name,Match_ID) allowing you to queue dozens of matches at once (Excel file provided).

• GitGud Focus: Efficiently watch and analyze the entire match history of top players (Warriors, Hunters, Priests, etc.) to rapidly understand positioning, cooldown usage, and execution.

• On-Demand Study: Your personal Arena "Netflix series." Watch matches at your own pace, pause, rewind, and review crucial moments without the pressure of live viewing.

• Seamless Integration: Integrates directly with the existing Warmane Arena Spectator NPC—no complex new commands or setup required, only highly efficient data entry.

Stop hoping to catch a top player live; start studying their entire career. ARW makes ladder mastery accessible and efficient.
