I thought it was pretty well established that its because SC2 runs the game as client-server-client whereas SC1 (and WC3) ran it Client-Client, so theres no middle-man, which is what causes the lag.

actually WC3 was client - server -client

How you wan't to participate in tournaments that are worth $10k++ with that huge latency?

Blizzard is crazy.

Ah but only the ladder right? I seem to recall there being quite a lot of work going into finding the best hosts whenever clan wars involved korean players and europeans - ie youd get a west coast guy for that to make it as fair as possible, I think...

you can't blame cross realm play on lack of LAN in bnet2.0
you need to learn about interwebz more

comments like these are kinda dumb. sure I am up for lans and all but in order for TSL to be LAN, boxer and his opponent would have had to meet up and some pc bang or some thing. so without online matches, boxer n his opponent may not have even played -_-
disconnects at GSLs or tourneys that play locally are what could have been prevented with lan.

This is fantastic news since it makes the chance of Blizzard putting in LAN support much higher.

How is this different from a server emulator (doesn't seem to be)? Haven't those been around for a while? I think Blizzard has been pretty active dealing with them since beta even, so I'm not sure any cats are out of the bag just yet.

I mean, of course they're going to be around, if not now then certainly at some point just like they are for WoW, but that doesn't seem to have put much of a dent in that particular franchise. Some people will switch sure and it could be a useful option to practice cross-continent, but you can also take to the bank that Blizzard will crack down on any server they find ("lolol gl sueing China" only goes so far). Not to mention that all the official, e-sporty stuff will still be on Bnet.

Does it? More likely they'll fix the client so this particular hack doesn't work.

You are the one who needs to "learn about interwebz more".

Yeah, everyone knows that using a VPN reduces your latency to 2ms because you're in a LAN network and if Blizzard would implement LAN in SC2 people in Korea would not lag when playing with people on the other side of the world.

Anyone else remember why ICCUP was made? It was because battle.net (1.0) sucked and had no support for the actual game, it was just a game lobby. 2.0 fixes that. Iccup fixed 1.0, and im sure 2.0 is a little bit based off of it
