i figure everyone including myself pictures fayth as a girl because of that damn medivac portrait

on a side note it's surprising how many people picked Naniwa.. I feel like I follow sc2 enough at least for the NA tournaments and I thought nani played T because I confused his name with Naama's... just haven't heard almost anything about him but the pros knew he had a good shot of winning

Could you beat the dead horse of LAN some more please?

SC2 will be fine without it because of people like you making videos. If you want LAN for SC2, go learn how to program and do it yourself or crusade for everyone to stop playing it. Because that is the only way it is going to happen.
You know why? Because SC2 has been pretty damn successful so far, it's practically a case study on why a game doesn't need LAN to succeed as a competitive game.

Cool coverage and interviews all the same.

why are you harping on him for talking about lan? yeah he wants lan, let him speak his mind. and did you seriously watch what happened on MLG day 2? you really think that lan would not have helped the shit that happened?

You are the type of gamer that is allowing companies like EA and Activision to shit all over customers

Whether or not the game needs lan, players want it. Tournament hosts want it. Pro gamers want it. Stream viewers want it.

I like the reoccurring theme among pros of all races that Zerg sucks and they can't really win.

LAN is something that anyone interested in E-Sports should be fighting for because LAN is the fairest way to play a tournament that is supposed to decide who is the best player. When a better player accidentally their entire army because of a lag spike, that's unfair, and I would go so far as to call it unacceptable for a game that the designers CLAIM to have designed from the ground up with E-Sports in mind.

SC2's success is not a case study on why a game doesn't need LAN, it's a case study of how the sequel to the game that put E-Sports on the map can ride that momentum so long as the game itself is well-designed. It's a case study on how passionate gamers can dedicate themselves to something even if it's flawed. It's a case study on how the growth of E-Sports in general is making the competition an acceptable form of entertainment in mainstream society. But, the lack of LAN support also has the potential to be a scene killer. If things don't get better, and players get fed up and stop playing, the E-Sports scene dies. Mind you, the door is open for another company to make a great RTS WITH LAN and give Blizzard a well-deserved kick in the nuts as well.
