Little to nothing can be done about network lag, so why flame the tournament for something that's out of their control? For those of you that say it's PC lag ... where you there? did you play on the computers? You must have some real insight to tell it's pc lag by watching the stream, especially when the players themselves are saying it was network lag ..... If your going to flame something a) at least have an educated argument to back up your statements, and b) have a clue about what your talking about.

Network problems happened as well and thats to be expected, but evidently the systems werent equipped or, more likely, maintained well enough to service a tournament. | ||

The result for the players is, of course, some bad lag and such, but in the end there's not much to do. Through the year and a half that Starcraft 2 has been played on a highly competitive level, it's fairly obvious that Blizzard needs to get more involved. I don't see how they feel they need to have such a hands-off approach to this. I'm sure that if Blizzard gave us LAN, then started hosting tournaments themselves, they would find that they could make enough revenue to support continued Starcraft 2 updates in the future, etc. | ||

Can I just say that I find it ironic that you think that you are just as informed, if not more so, than two of the most well-connected and famous members of the SC2 scene? Regardless of the reason behind the problems at IEM, the fact of the matter remains that it is an issue that has to be resolved between Blizzard, IEM, and the players. It is quite pointless if overzealous members of TL insist on spouting rants about the inefficiencies and shortcomings of any of the involved parties. At this point, just wait for tomorrow, when more information will be provided for the public, and when IEM will (hopefully) resolve this problem. | ||

And this doesn't disprove his post at all, you create a private b.net emulation server and connect the player clients to that Yes and then you connect to that server which happens to be nearby, instead of connecting to god knows how far away with all the bullshit that might happen enroute because something bad happened one day somewhere. Not exactly LAN, but a nice improvement as far as major tourneys go. | ||

What type of maintenance should have been done to which parts of the system? I'm a Huk fan, but honestly he probably doesn't know enough about networking a massive lan event to make such judgements. | ||

Who cares whether it is or isn't? Stick it to blizzard that the player base will make sacrifices to see a LAN feature, even if they have to rework battle.net and delay hots. Then they either have to retreat to the piracy excuse, or simply have no excuse at all. It puts the players in a much more powerful position vs blizzard's stance on LAN. | ||
