More preliminary news/rumors from the June 24th news events!

1. There will be an oncoming "Ongame Net Starcraft 2 League," or OSL2.
2. The sponsor of the first one will be Korean Air.
3. The first OS2L will have prelimnaries from all over the world, and then the players will be gathered in Seoul for the Ro16.
4. There will be a "Starcraft 2 Professional Edition" that will only be provided to tournament organizers, which will include LAN functionality. Only with a special account + password that gets activated will it work. Blizzard staff will be present at tournaments to assist. Apparently this news was first told to the organizers of the Stars War after the tournament ended.

So that should put an end to LAN crybabying, because tournaments are the only place where LAN is a true necessity.

Awesome news! These are exciting times. I'm so glad that LAN will be capable at tournaments, it should provide an easier experience for them(and less technical glitches for us, the viewer!)

LAN functionality, finally a good news...

International preliminaries, that's great!

I just hope that this won't interfere with the Broodwar OSL.

No cuz LAN is still a very important part of a LAN party... I like being able to have fun playing on pcs next to my buds with all of us connected over a Router/switch... Sure it might be a neccessity for LAN at a tournament, but what if Blizzard staff are late to arrive? We hold the tournament until their flight arrives? That's pretty stupid...
Common qualms are my nemesis.

wtf. massive catering to the asian servers. i mean, clan wars and tournaments like CSL (for the casual gamers) will most likely have to use bnet 2.0. I just dont see this "Professional Edition" spreading to the foreign community (at least not in the forseeable future).

PS: If they have lan functionality and gives it to the chinese (who hosted tournaments like stars war), wont the chinese just hack the shit out of it anyways? just saying blizzard, wtf

Hopefully both the starcraft 1 and starcraft 2 osls can coexist.

Only problem now is that I doubt you'll see this at anything but large events in which blizzard will bother attending.

And how do you figure? if there's LAN that only blizzard is allowed to use for official blizzard tournaments how the hell does that help the actual playerbase who have wanted LAN features to play with friends or at local LAN parties? this won't put an end to anything, other than showing that Blizzard did take the time to code LAN for sc2, but they don't trust the playerbase with it.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Yeah if this edition exists, it will be given out very exclusively as a single leak ruins all of the ani piracy no LAN for sc2.

And yes it's not a solution to no LAN "crybabying". Those who have friends do enjoy pc LANs.

lol, wishful thinking bro. notice first thing it said was OnGame Net Starcraft 2 League. maybe OGN will share the broadcast time for BW with SC2, but the main event is now gonna be SC2. do you really think BW is gonna get the same attention after that?

I predict there will be a torrent "Starcraft 2 Professional Edition" on Pirate Bay the day after Blizzard let the chinese touch it for the first time.

Just make LAN native to all editions, so there will be less piracy.

if these rumors are true then we know what kotick was up for when he said that he wants "explore" things in sc2.

They want full control over esports so they can invest/push them and get money out of it at the same time.
