It was only after months of watching that they decided to get it for themselves. Well, since a couple of people you know have done it I guess it cant be further from the truth. Most people just buy the game and move on. Its only a fraction of SC2 players that know about and follow the pro scene. | ||

If they doing this with the premise of keeping the integrity of the ladder up to its indented purpose they are clueless as to the amount of hacking going on on their ladder.. | ||

If the hackers were streaming while they played I guess Blizzard would take action too. | ||

I would trust R1CH's opinion on that, but I think you're wrong on both points. Everyone wants to play with overseas friends, particularly without spending extra money. It'd be quite easily to just open all the realms, even if ladders were still localized. But the custom games implementation is still clunky, and latency isn't necessarily good. This doesn't mean it wouldn't be easy to open the realms. And those problems have their own solutions, like introducing a second netcode that imitates the p2p connections of BW and infinite other games, over which you also happen to be able to simulate LAN latency. Of course, I suspect this also has some nonsense piracy threat attached to it. So they want everything funneled through big brother Blizzard. | ||
