Once they get more servers up and running it might just be one big system Read the quote, thats not the case. | ||

Zerg are Strong in Korea, Weak in America. They won't get stronger in America until they can sample Korean Zerg play and adapt and vise versa. You can't balance it region by region, it just doesn't work that way. | ||

Will blizzard implement some sort of LAN mode for tournament organizers or will the organizer just have to buy like 128 copies of SC2 from the same region so that all can compete on the same gateway? This will hold back SC2 so much I really hope Blizzard changes their mind in the near future Edit: And how can they use high latency as an argument for this ? Has the technology moved backwards since SC:BW ?? You could play pretty much lagfree as a euro on US servers with lan latency plugin. I don't understand If they don't want to split up the players between the ladders and possibly getting lag, why not allow Custom Games on any given gateway and make ladder play gateway-exclusive, this way international tournaments will still be able to happen without any issue. | ||

I plan on simply buying 2 copies if they don't reverse this decision by then. Is it playable? Well, I'm from europe playing on the US server and there's a little less delay than I'd get with bnet latency in brood war. Actually, quite a bit less delay. I haven't played a single laggy game (one to the point of stuttering or drop screen anyway) as a result of high ping between me and my opponent. It's not exactly lan latency but its more than playable. This is the worst thing ever, by the way. Looks like I'm going to have to import the goddamn game because every one of my friends who plays Starcraft is from the US. | ||

blizzard has never been for e-sports. e-sports really takes alot of money, setting up infrastructure and marketing schemes and a financial stake they are too unwilling to take. there is no way blizzard would gamble millions of dollars setting up something like korea has with a chance of failure. they are not for e-sports. segregating the community? how does that help foster a international gaming scene that hopes to be competitive as sc:bw in korea? no no no.. i dont know how blizzard is like this. HoN can do it with their game system, choosing different regions to play in, ( a free game currently btw) but Blizzard with all its resources behind it cant?? its a disaster on epic proportions. IMO, i think we don't have enough hardcore gamers and fans in one region to support any sort of e-sports without the cooperation with the europeans at least... ugh im so sad... sc2 wasn't too bad of a game either.. its pretty fun right now. i just think they are limiting themselves on the full potential this game can reach. i also wonder... for like WCG... do they have to go through bnet to play each other?? why bnet... when everyone is together... lan is just so much more stable.. and quicker.. i just dont get it. blizzard is making a huge mistake... i hope they realize immediate sales of the games is important too.. but so is the longevity and staying loyal to their fans. Across the lifetime of bw, i am sure i am not alone in saying.. i have bought so many copies of SC due to losing cd-keys. their method of limiting you to one region per key really forces you to buy multiple keys which is good in the short term... but it really pisses off a lot of their hardcore fans who would end up buying 5+ copies in the first place without this incentive. | ||

They really think that the e-sports community will pop out on its own, without any support from them, and while this happens, they will rake in the dollars due to their right to control what tournements take place, etc. get lost with this nonsense. Blizzard don't care about random people running tournaments, they care about BUSINESSES like kespa running tournaments and raking in profits from THEIR work without paying any royalties. I don't have much comment on everything else you've said but it seriously brings my piss to a boil when people talk about blizzards situation with kespa as if its going to be the benchmark for every tournament ever run involving SC2. | ||

Kinda crazy idea by Blizzard. Can't understand at all. | ||
