The only event that has had major issues is MLG, we're far pass the point where we can blame their incompetence on Blizzard. North America in general has horrible internet compared to virtually everywhere else in the world. So I guess it's either whoever you hold responsible for the state of our internet's fault, or it's Blizzard for making LAN events play online and connect to a server hundreds/thousands of miles away when they are sitting next to each other | ||

That wouldn't fix Blizzard's issue with LAN mode. Any SC2 version that included LAN support would be on Bittorrent within a few hours, even it it's only given out to major organizations. Hell, even if it isn't' handed out to anybody. I don't think they will integrate it as long as SC2 is making profit from being sold. So tournaments like MLG have to deal with it, and as several of them have shown (Dreamhack etc) it is absolutely possible. Yea, it can happen that b.net fucks up and you have to restart a game. But if your stream continuesly doesn't work for 3 days or if the players can't get a decent connection to the internet it is not Blizzard's fault but MLG's. | ||

Yes there are hints of a problem but I'll be reserving my judgement on MLG's work until the stream launches. | ||

It's one thing to stream from these convention centers, it's another to provide a low-latency and *perfect* connection for games at the same time. It is clear after so many of these events with these parallel issues that if there was a solution for this problem, MLG would have implemented it. This issue lies with Blizzard, and Blizzard alone. | ||

You going to tell me other major tech events can't get sufficient bandwidth with proper preparation? like it was said earlier US doesn't have super internet like Korea or Sweden. | ||

If it was just the fault of the infrastructure in Dallas, like they said, why would there be problems now? | ||

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. No I didn't watch SC2 for Blizzcon, but I watched warcraft and it seemed fine. Obvously LAN would be better for the game, no one is denying that, but Blizzard clearly do not wish to release it yet and therefore companies should prepare with an adequate internet connection. I'm pretty sure US internet is not so bad it can't handle MLG lol. It should be pretty obvious to anyone right now Blizzard doesn't care about LAN atm and won't put it in, whining about it will do nothing. | ||

Why is it that they cannot sell Organizations like MLG a LAN Edition of the product? How does this not make sense? :/ To be fair, while I don't support their reluctance to add LAN capability, the answer is quite simple. The LAN version would get leaked quite easily, cracked, and distributed. If they were to hand over LAN versions, they might as well allow LAN on every version of the game at that point, as a leak would be inevitable. | ||

MLG is at fault for their lack of preparation. Preparing an internet connection at a major venue is not easy. If for some reason the connection goes to shit or isn't fit for gaming, they can't simply change venues, even within 6 months. They also probably booked this place and set the schedule a year in advance. | ||
