Finding Your Replays

StarCraft 2 keeps a record of Replays played in the folder called “Multiplayer.”
To get there navigate to your StarCraft 2 replay folder located in your Windows Documents:
C:\Users\<Windows Profile Name>\Documents\StarCraft II\Replays\Multiplayer

Customization

If you use custom hotkeys, you’ll need to move your hotkey file.

Hotkeys: Copy your hotkeys file (<myhotkeyname>.SC2Hotkeys)
from:
Documents/StarCraft II/Accounts/######/Hotkeys
To:
Documents/StarCraft II/Hotkeys
If the folder isn’t there: create it.
Alternatively, you can load up Dummy_bot, set your hotkeys and settings, and it will save upon close.
