I understand your position here at TL, but because of that, you certainly shouldnt be throwing out blind assumptions. | ||

Won't post any links or d/l since that's not allowed here, but go look it up for yourself if you're interested. It has been done. Blizzard just won't make an official version for tournaments. The chinese hack is a private server setup, not LAN. And this doesn't disprove his post at all, you create a private b.net emulation server and connect the player clients to that | ||

*again, note that there was lag in multiplayer even in small battles, which is very suspicious to be from the hardware. | ||

No need for LAN tournaments to have problems when they have a LAN. | ||

I'm sure the professionals can turn their settings down, possibly need to get new pcs in for the casters for streaming though. If any pro is playing on high settings tomorrow then all I can say is that;s not very professional. Sympathy for the guys that lost out because of it though. | ||

If so then LAN would not have mattered since they would have to get the observers in. There's the restream but ESL seems to prefer to have a ton of observers which is a known way to lag up a game. | ||

With this setup LAN is impossible. Good point diamond, though a little convoluted  | ||

The only thing I would change is the high number of observers... isn't it possible that they just restream the english main stream? Might reduce the quality on their stream but it's more important to minimize the risk of lagspikes... | ||

You've already got our money, adding LAN now won't hurt your profits! Or at the very least give people holding tournaments capability to serve dedicated servers sans internet. I mean honestly. You make people pay to host tourneys and stick your name all over the place. Lagging and Bnet drops are friggen embarrasses you more than anyone else. Yeah IEM had some turd things happen but lags and drops happen once in a while in GSL too. FRIGGEN GSL! The organization that has been doing this for like a year still have dropped or laggy games. There has been more lag/drop/technical issues in this short 1 year of SC2 than there has been in BW's whole entire lifespan (thus far). PLEASE BLIZZ! PLEASE! We won't stop laddering just give us LAN! | ||

If you test it out in multi-player, you still won't know whether the issue is the computer hardware or a connection issue. | ||

I seriously just hope Blizzard pulls their equity-driven ego's out of their asses and realize that without LAN support for any and ALL tournaments, there will never, ever, ever, EVER be a chance to have SC2 televised. EVER. Good luck with the rest of the tournament, and if anybody from Blizzard is reading: There's a reason I switched to SWTOR and back to Brood War. What about LoL? No LAN required... | ||
