The only event that has had major issues is MLG, we're far pass the point where we can blame their incompetence on Blizzard. If you had watched blizzcon you would know this simply isn't true.... even at their own event the lack of LAN fucked the tourney. Every major event has had some level of problem due to bnet, most of the time its a tiny bit of lag for a few games but when you have something the scale of MLG those problems become magnified. Thats why they are using satellite trucks for the streams, so they put less strain on the land based internet from the event. Something like dreamhack have the benefit of state of the art internet, the US simply don't have the infrastructure Europe does for the internet. | ||

Maybe only after the release of HotS and LotV. Why is it that they cannot sell Organizations like MLG a LAN Edition of the product? How does this not make sense? :/ | ||

The only event with MLG's attendance + player count + streaming quality (attempted, at least) is MLG, too. I mean, yeah, somebody at MLG should have figured out by now that the hard line is necessary, but no LAN is a killer. | ||

"Hey wouldn't it be fun to troll TL?" "Yeah lets make a blog that says there is lag and have a few of us "confirm" it!" If it is true then I will wait until the event is live to be like "UH OH!" So far there has been no other indications that the internet is fucked over there. | ||

MLG however are incompetent because they can't even get a proper network build up correctly with a decent internet connection. Imagine how much bandwidth they are using. broadcasting of sc2+halo+Blops+any media people using the Wifi+probably tons of other stuff that we aren't thinking of. Now add on top of that hundreds of people playing sc2 over the internet, which will use even more bandwidth. Now imagine we had LAN. Less bandwidth used in general, and NO LAG for the sc2 players. with LAN support, there would be significantly fewer factors for MLG to have to contend with that are either completely out of their control, or incredibly hard to deal with. Its easy to want to be mad at MLG, and sure some of this is on them, but its also poor design that forces some of these issues. Part of the problem might also be that everyone is logging in and trying to D/L and such at the same time, which might also cause problems. | ||

Well, they should have contacted their location and the ISP's after the Dallas debacle, and worked with them in advance to have sufficient resources ready, along with a failover or two. You going to tell me other major tech events can't get sufficient bandwidth with proper preparation? | ||
