I really doubt that ICCUP would risk going into lawsuit against Blizzard if they use the "cracked" version, which is obviously illegal, to create ICCUP ladder for SC2. And if Blizzard is willing to sue OGN and MBC for IP rights, which is more debatable than using cracked version, I can really see Blizzard taking harsh reaction against those private ladders. Yep, before everyone blows their load, don't forget that Blizzard is 100% behind SC2 unlike BW. Using pirated copies will only hurt esports by losing Blizzard's support. The only LAN we should be looking forward to is Blizzard's own. | ||

If they would do so, we would have be playing on LAN already. | ||

I also love how all the conspiracy theorists come out in these threads. Blizzard didn't add LAn to stop kespa etc..... ridiculous. Blizz didn't add LAN simply to make it harder for people to pirate SC2 and to stop things like the iccup BW server which allows you to play multiplayer for free on aserver not controlled by blizz. Its their game they have the right to control who runs a server and who can play it.... you have to pay else we don't get any more games from blizz... that simple | ||

Herm, I seem to remember a 10 year old game thriving competitively without any support from the creator. I believe it was Brood something. Developer might have been Dizzard? | ||

And we know how much blizzard hate to make good maps. AGAIN. | ||

This gives people a little power because if activision blizzard starts trying to do micro transactions for everything they will have to compete with with these private servers. Not a big deal though. | ||

If anyone did it it would be the Chinese. They came up with all these funky cracks in the beta to play against the blizzard ai or custom ai and the first with region swapping so you could play on other servers with the same client. Really hoping that lan gets put in to the real thing so we can stop the dramas at gsl and mlg. | ||

P.S. I wouldn't personally try it, just because it's not a file I'd trust. If you find someone willing to try it, I'd be happy to read what they have to say about it. I, like many other people in this thread, don't know if it'll matter that much though. | ||

ICCUP officially stated that they are not going to do a ladder for SC2, and I still believe they don't change their stance yet. Unless Blizzard give it a go, which is very unlikely, I really doubt a renowned game servers will dare to put SC2 on their ladders, even if they can technically. | ||

I think that says enough. We need LAN for proper offline tournaments, no excuses. | ||

Go search for the Blizz v Glider bot creator case ... In the end LAN only helps for local play. No ICCUP servers or any other server will ever be as high quality as battle.net if you play on the internet. The simple fact that Blizzard's servers have latency added by default makes them a lot more balanced for inter-region play. While it would be a nice feature it isn't actually needed except for major LAN events and GSL/NASL finals. Everything else is helping pirating even if not many people would want to admit it, it's been the same with SC1. And this early in the game's life Blizzard will take your homes, cars and children if you even try to put up a public SC2 server. | ||

1: No iCCup SC2 server, not happening. 2: No tournament that has a license from Blizzard would EVER in hell get permission to use this crack. That being said, this should encourage companies like ESL and MLG to lean on Blizz more about this 1990's basic feature missing from the largest ESport in the world right now... | ||
