Even if Blizzard give big LAN events like MLG, GSL and IEM a starcraft 2 client that has LAN implemented so that it can be used for big tournaments. | ||

Yeah, LAN would have let them keep playing, yeah, Blizzard should put it in, but going HURR DURR B.NET 2.0 SUCKS is retarded when it's MLG's internet that dropped. No. That's an absurd way of looking at it. | ||

I'm not so upset that their internet had a hiccup, but those players should have been able to finish their game. This new rematch, although same players same map is completely different with the spawn points. | ||

Why would internet going down have any impact on a LAN game? The stream would have died certainly but not all the games being played | ||

Even if Blizzard give big LAN events like MLG, GSL and IEM a starcraft 2 client that has LAN implemented so that it can be used for big tournaments. They don't even need lan. They just need the ability to resume a custom game from a replay. Wouldn't be hard to implement. | ||

The explanation for it is that you can never guarantee a fully stable connection when you're hosting events throughout the country. With this in mind having no LAN you are guaranteeing some big tournaments will suffer from disconnects in important games. Today it's MLG tomorrow it's someone else. | ||
