Also it took a year for hackers to breack SC2 and it will probably be fixed with HotS. If they can improve on that then it wont be broken in time for expansions at which point it will be useless to try. | ||

It's the same thing with every tournament lately. I honestly can't fathom how on earth you think roaming tournament series that rely on rented locations can do something more than they already do. They can't get backup or dedicated lines put in months in advance, all they can do is pass their requirements on to the place they're using in advance and press on them the importance of it, which they do. All of them. You can't play SC2 on satellite connections and until someone invents a magic system that provides remote internet with low latency without copper wire or fibre optic cabling (which is pretty unlikely unless wireless coverage, power and infrastructure change dramatically), it's going to happen. The only way around it is to have a dedicated location for all the events where there can be backup lines from different providers, or have it take place in places which put internet at a much higher priority than most and there really aren't that many of those about. This thing is at NYCC where the whole thing has to be shared with like 20-30 game company streams and content uploaders as well as journalists and NYCC staff, so that adds a whole other issue where the internet is available but not enough bandwidth is dedicated, which is rarely going to be as simple as just asking for more. | ||

It's often due to misinformation (like how at IPL3, some announcer had said that the entire state's internet went down, all the while I'm sitting in my house in New Jersey, cruising on my perfectly-fine internet connection). IPL failed because of that truck disaster. Not sure why NY's IEM tournament is delayed. Sometimes, stuff happens. Doesn't necessarily mean the entire country (or even the house 50 miles away) is affected Could happen anywhere in the world. All the nerds @comicon are using the bandwitch | ||
