How you wan't to participate in tournaments that are worth $10k++ with that huge latency? Blizzard is crazy. you can't blame cross realm play on lack of LAN in bnet2.0 you need to learn about interwebz more | ||

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. | ||

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... Depends on the European, but typically on Sweden with your inet you'd get no love from the admins and force a west host, for Russians and other east european players the hosts are typically East coast. I can say that i ping about 130 to sweden (less), about 220 to Korea and Russia, 250 to Siberia, 160 to Germany, and 140 to france from East Canada. | ||

Who said anything about removing online matches? We are talking about adding LAN as another way to play. | ||

Directly connecting over virtual LAN would eliminate the middleman and lower latency. | ||

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.

Not to mention that all the official, e-sporty stuff will still be on Bnet. Only goes so far in that they can't actually sue a chinese citizen living in china. But yeah, this is only LAN if you're emulating the server on a local computer. Which tournaments can easily do! I doubt it'll go anywhere, but it'd be nice if it would. | ||

It means big things for the state of SC2. We are talking garena, hamachi servers, better online play etc. You supply the replays , they cast it. It means online leagues become much better. Doesn't matter if the tournament organizer gets a lan replay or online replay, they don't have to know if it's casted off replays. | ||

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. | ||

Stop being stupid, on iccup you could play SC:BW with koreans with a little lag, it was never that bad, about equal to SC2 same continent lag. | ||

Well, give me back my jacket. I said you could borrow it, not have it. Give it back + Show Spoiler + I, too, can respond to portions of a post that don't actually exist while ignoring previous posts mentioning the limitations of p2p. | ||

Iccup fixed 1.0, and im sure 2.0 is a little bit based off of it To be honest, the only reason why i started playing on ICCUP was because there was lan latency. Because the latency isn't exactly that great on cross continental play (for sc2), I can see why so many people would love some LAN functionality. | ||

You seem to have many experience in VLAN, please tell me have you ever used Hamchi before? What's it like? Is it worst than boxer's complain about "2000ms lag"? Was it even close to 2000ms? | ||
