Lazy parsing of SC2Replay file to speed up data science

[atursams]

Is there an option to use lazy parsing of the file?
What I want is specific data like who won and what was the map and the date, and it seems that it would be optimal to get that without the heavy lifting that the parser is doing on build and actions.

I am unaware of a lazy parsing option. If you want a lightweight parser, I suggest you use s2protocol instead since it doesn't create nearly as many structures as sc2reader in any case.

You might have better luck asking on https://github.com/ggtracker/sc2reader/ since that's the official repo now
