Yes, Blizzard should have LAN support for live tourneys, but the games still couldn't be streamed so it doesn't make a great deal of difference - people wouldn't want to watch recorded games as much anyway. They had satellite trucks for that. the lag was just too big to play on, but the stream was fine. | ||

That is asinine to blame someone for an accident without even knowing the reason for the accident. If they're just a bad driver then they deserve some blame for being a bad driver but none for screwing up the tournament. If they had a heart attack or were trying to avoid a bigger accident like running over a pedestrian that ran in front of them then they don't deserve any blame for the accident either. Professional tournaments need LAN play instead of being forced to rely on having a fast low latency connection without being blacklisted by Blizzard. Tournament planners can get backup high latency wireless connections that work fine for streaming but they can't always get backup low latency wired lines to venues that are needed to play on BNET. Blizzard needs to give Pro's LAN play like they promised a year ago and in the meantime they need to figure out their shit so that they don't blacklist major tournaments. | ||

Playing with lan latency is different from playing with battle.net latency, so you would have to provide pro players with the same tournament setup to practice on, which means providing everyone with lan. Wrong, a LAN client or LAN server just for pro's could artificially add latency, say 100ms, to simulate the latency they have on BNET. Granted it would be nice if they gave everyone LAN... | ||

Then again english is not my mother tongue and my cinism/sarcasm probably didn't come out that well with that sentence of mine. People were/are blaming Comcast, Blizzard and even IPL at some point (yesterday) when clearly this was something out of everyones control. I wanted to point out the truck driver as the original cause of all the issue IPL3 had yesterday, at the same time hoping for people to think about it and to realize how stupid it would be do that. I'm glad you did  I wont go into the LAN discussion, since I think this is not the thread for it. Although I don't remember Blizzard promising LAN support, ever. If you have a link that would be great. | ||

Pure genious move from IPL to play Broodwar to highlight the obvious fact. IPL has done the best crisis management from any tournament yet. | ||

Actually I'm impressed by IGN, they handled everything really well considering the circumstances and showed great skill in crisis management. Without the problems it would be the best SC2 tournament by far! | ||

I'm all for a LAN mode in SC2 but I seriously don't understand people that think it would have changed anything yesterday. Yes they could have played out the group play but still group play doesn't really matter (apart from getting money for placing 1st and 2nd) and with no internet they couldn't have streamed anything anyway. From the spectators perspective there wouldn't have been any gain in having a LAN mode. | ||
