Great Interviews! I like looking inside the heads of people behind SC2!
Nice touch with the question about LAN also interesting answer. Maybe we will see something for HOTS?

PS: There’s a handful of people that bring it up far more frequently than anyone wants to hear it.


Hah. That's not gonna change any time soon.

I doubt it. There will be no LAN. Ever. They just dodged the question in a more friendly manner than usual that's all. Most likely we'll have some kind of autosave system like there was in Warcraft3.

Great read, Thanks Wax!
Really sad how stubborn Blizzard is with lan, they can spend a whole interview talking about how much they care about esports but then when asked about lan it's out of the question...
Blizzard say they want to have SC2 on TV, but saying that and then not supporting lan is a horrible show of dedication to the idea. Would ESPN ever show SC2 if players had the chance of lagging out of an exciting match? We would be laughed off the network in a heart beat.

Thanks for that waxangel you made some really awesome questions to the blizz guys. I don't think any other interviewer would have the guts to make some of the questions you made. And it was AWESOME.

Loved the interviews, thanks a ton for doing them!

Some interesting points:
- Blizzard DotA will be an eSports title much like SC2 and unlike D3 (and it will also be included in the Starter Edition of SC2 to truly compete with LoL and Dota2 - it won't rely on microtransactions but rather on acting as an incentive for buying SC2)
- Resume after disconnect is on the to-do list
- Blizzard will be a partner for 3rd parties in eSports rather than taking the business over or ignoring them
- They expect SC2 to gather a larger following in Korea once it begins to be broadcasted on television (much like happened with SC1)

Interesting read!

Man E-sports is looking good

Kinda funny they have so little to say about the ''lan or something'' stuff
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3
