I actually have disconnected only once since I started playing SC2. Don't know what's wrong with tournament's internet lol.

Could it be because SC2 requires a lot more computer resources so it is a lot easier for computer issues to pop up and cause disconnects? No, that doesn't make sense. Clearly its because evil blizzard won't give us the LAN.

for years Ive never stopped asking myself why OGN is so good at producing intro

mech is the biggest thing I miss from BW. Yea people complained that mech tvt was slow and boring, but it was one of my favorite matchups b/c it really highlighted who was the better/grittier player.

Maybe because they were not using the operating system that crashes your game every time it decides it needs an update? Or thousands of other reasons that came with modern OS and HW?
I am not defending Blizzard for not including LAN (to be honest, I don't really care but whatever). What pisses me off is people, who have no clue about how technology works screaming "LAN" while it would not help anything. Just basic human ignorancy, that's what pisses me off.

Does anyone know the BW game SNM and WL talked about when the DC happened, something about flash waiting over an hour in the booth then getting told he could not play?

You interrupt the guy attacking mid-push, you obviously break whatever momentum he had. A pause for the guy defending is actually advantageous because whatever disorienting panic he had while defending goes away and he regains composure.
This makes sense. That is a very unfortunate situation indeed. Let's just hope that the tournament organizers will try and learn from that incident.

lan will rid of one whole portion of possible problems: internet connection and b.net instability. also, if you noticed the game feels better on single player because of latency and it'll be the same with lan

Yes I agree. I just wanted to point out, that this (and for example also the famous MKP-Parting) disconnect would have happened regardless of having/not having LAN.

Hmm that's a good question. I guess that if it's a hardware issue then I think they need to get better hardware. If it's not a hardware issue, then I imagine they would need to change the rules so that the matches don't take 10 minutes to restart.
I don't really have a lot of knowledge about tournament hosting, so the solutions I suggested may be totally off. Anyway I'm sure that something could have been done to prevent, or at least reduce the scale of the issue.
