So that should put an end to LAN crybabying, because tournaments are the only place where LAN is a true necessity. 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. Because LAN is dead in the same way splitscreen on consoles is dead. Its rarely used compared to the online alternative, EXCEPT in tournament structures. This fixes the tournament thing. LAN is dead? Split screen and consoles are dead? Do you have some hard data to back that up or , and i dont want to be rude, you are just ignorant enough to generalize based on your own life.
It's a conspiracy, Lan's been dead since 1993, but every single multiplayer game developer has been putting it in just to keep it a secret.
Some say he's been going around the world splitting screens for over a decade, he stopped the second a black man was elected president of United States, - all we know is, he's called the Stig.

I'd love to see the lan functionality happen to smaller tournaments .. but I'm sure the blizzard reps cannot be present there

Woah, the international preliminaries is awesome news. I hope Brood War will have at least a few more seasons in it, though. I really don't have much interest at all in spectating StarCraft II.
|
Are they going to pay for airfare for Ukraine to Seoul and back?
|
With Korean Air as the sponsor, I'm sure they can do just that.
|
I just hope for these "international preliminaries" that top players are chosen and not filler players... Having let say 16 players where half clearly dominates rest is wrong.
|
Damn, this sounds amazing if its true.
Players like Nony and Idra must feel pretty excited about it ;>

How the hell are they going to hold 'international' preliminaries with region locks, or is it going to be 3-4 players from each of the four regions?

This is awesome. Hopefully it turns out to be true

Having, let's say 16 players were half or more are invited purely based on hype/known names is also wrong. Just thought I'd add it in there 
I personally hope it's a qualifier, not a "we choose so and so by their name" type of bs.

How exclusive is this lan going to be though? I'm guessing only major big tourneys will get access to it.

I meant not invited but chosen by rough preliminaries where only top players gets spots. I just hope without saying which country has best players gets more players qualified than EU/US gets.

Complete hearsay. However, it shows that they have LAN and competition in mind if in fact they do this. Yay. Maybe.

This is very exciting news.
I think this will be a very good thing for SC2 in the next few years but I am not sure about the long-term when Blizz loses interest. Hopefully some other solution will pop up by then.
Sooooo excited to see how they run the preliminaries.

It may look like a joke, but the most expensive version SC2 as of now would be:
5 (gateways, there may be more, right now we know Russia,south America, north America, Asia, Europe ) x 3 (expansions) x $60 = $900
(And I'm not counting them as the $100 version)
