Well the professional edition will no doubt be leaked and cracked, which should make lan partys possible.
Good news on the OSL2, exciting stuff.

The OSL lives.

Heh, something is wrong when the consumers are waiting for a leak and a crack.

Instead of implementing a literally must-have features of a multi-player game, they are going to milk big money for the priviledge of using it.
How greedy can you get.
businesses are made to make money
if you were working for blizzard, you probably wouldn't mind cause you'd be getting a pretty big bonus

I see this as a great solution if they're not too stickler-ey with selling that version.

They aren't selling that version, they license it for big tournaments and have babysitters there anyway.

I'm going to say this again, pirates should stop thinking that Blizzard's failures somehow justifies their piracy. If you think that piracy's right either way and you were going to pirate the game in the first place, fine. "This game doesn't have feature X so it's okay for me to pirate it kekekeke" is not, and it should be obvious why.

I foresee that the LAN-solution will be a local Battlenet 2.0 proxy server which will let the players create games with each other without the need of game packets going through Battlenet 2.0 servers. The special client will be the the usual client pointing towards a local Battlenet 2.0 server instead of the US, EU or Asian servers. To avoid any pirated versions from getting out this solution would only be provided to authorized tournaments and handled by Blizzard staff only. Maybe Blizzard would have a plug-and-play server to avoid the need of installing the server software in a unsecure environment.
At least this is how I would have solved it if I worked for Blizzard.

Wtf? So anyone wanting to use LAN for their tournament will have to pay to have guys from Blizzard there to help them?
God I hate Blizzard as of late. Not just because of this, this would just be giving me more reason to be angry.

All our hopes lie on China...

If this is true, I will be so happy. OSL2 with worldwide prelims OMG. This would send SC2 forward so fast

Oh thank you very much for this post. All that "lolz i will now pirate teh game cuz blizz fucked up bnet" is getting really really annoying.
I mean this is so interesting "news". Its all about the future of esports and the influence blizzard might have for the good or the bad. but ppl are shitting that "haha it will be leaked and then we have lan" stuff over the thread...

Mmmm. Artosis still full of it?

I'll wait and see, because if the latency makes a difference, you will have to release it for everyone because otherwise you have unfair practice environment etc. It solves one problem while creating a ton of others.

It isn't about piracy, justifying anything or retaliation to Blizzard for whatever. It's about people getting what they want using any means necessary, in this case - cracking/hacking/pirating the game,

This.
If the "LAN Edition" is real... it's hilarious. How can Blizzard screw its clients out of LAN play and then offer it to certain people like that? It's just bad business and a blatant screwjob towards paying customers.

 Awsome news! I can't wait to see who the first SC2 OSL champ is

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. http://sc2.178.com/201006/70417839725.html
So they finally decided to put LAN in. But only for tournament organizers? What about LAN for the public? Sure, it's great that people can host SC2 tournaments but in my opinion, I'm not going to go to a tournament and be all srs bizness just to have LAN functionality. I'm not saying playing in tournaments isn't fun but most of the time, I'll want the LAN functionality to have a LAN party where I can be relax and have a good time with my friends.
And seriously? Professional Edition? What are they fuckin thinking? Is Blizzard (probably Activision's idea -.-) taking ideas from Microsoft now?
