No lan, but I'm at least glad that the reason seems to be that it will require rewriting the entire game, rather than just bli$$$$$$$ trying to stop pirates by punishing everyone else.

Good interview.

I really hope we can see lan or a lan like environment for tournaments some day.

I think each season they should have a poll to vote one map into the ladder pool. Just set up a poll on the battle.net forums and whatever map wins gets put into the ladder pool. I think this could easily fix the ladder map pool situation.

Awesome interview! As always he gives very unclear answers but he can't be too specific!

I couldn't stop concentrating on Dustin Browders beard. Is there anyway to pixelate it C.O.P.S style so I can listen to it?

Dodged the LAN question like a boss. Was expected though, but still

Too bad it doesn't matter much when Blizzard wants to sell an expansion regardless of it resetting the game completely. -_-

The game isn't complete. I'd rather them do this with an expansion than try to do it little by little.

Very nice interview

However, I wonder how he would have responded if Kenningit would have been brave enough to ( but at the same time, act rudely

) say that sure, it is bad to have pros play on partially completed competitive maps from the community, but that most of them are better than any blizzard ladder map.
(I'm not trying to insult Kenningit, i would not want to feel that pushy either, i think Kenningit already felt like he was pushing it without trying to state outright we want community maps in the ladder since blizz maps mostly suck)

I'm guessing Dustin would just say they need those "bad" maps too for the lower level players, and that's why there's veto

Kennegit doing work. Really good interview, and probably the most enlightening thing I've seen out of this year's Blizzcon coverage.

Boy, the discussions about how they ignore a race's themes and how they purposely gimp units to cater to sub-diamond level players were the most disheartening things I had heard about SC2's development process.

Why not just chop out kennigit entirely in the video and zoom in on that sexy bald head?

I was alternating between both the beard and the chrome dome. This man has a fantastic head.
