Heroes of the Storm Automated Replay Spectator

I developed an automated replay spectator project for Heroes of the Storm, which streamed on Twitch 24/7 with Twitch Chat integration. This project utilized several technologies to ensure seamless operation and interaction:

• AWS S3 for storing and retrieving replay files
• Twitch API for integrating chat functionalities and stream control
• Heroes Profile API for fetching game statistics and player data
• Native Windows OCR for coordinating hero selection during streams

Code can be found at Heroes Replay

This project was streamed on the SaltySadism Twitch channel, providing an interactive and continuous viewing experience for the community.
