Both of these things are warping and not fun. Just watched MMA vs Feast on metalopolis and despite playing Terran I wanted to vomit blood. Also seeing TargA have to play on not cross Antiga is really shitty for the poor guy. +1 Please change the map pool Carmac. | ||

I do hope we'll see a LAN option in the future - you can not make it to the mainstream if such issues are looming over your head. | ||

Exactly, until they change their map pool I will probably continue to watch mainly LoL with the occasional SC2 match that I really care about. Ive just found it too frustrating watching matches where the map pool defines the opening advantage. Does it define who wins? No. Does it give advantages to one player/race over the other? Yes. This a major problem for me and it seems IEM continues to ignore the fact despite so many other tournies recognizing this issue. I just don't understand it. | ||

So he is not a that poor guy I agree, the current map pool is in my opinion a joke and the esl admins knows it.. Hopefully they will change it soon, all though I assume Sao Paulo will have the same map pool. tldr: lets all lynch Carmac | ||

I'm surprised no one has brought this up, but remember this is WHITE RA saying this, heck, he was doing special tactics when you couldn't be on a phone and the internet at the same time. If SC2 played with 1000 latency units, White Ra would just get nostalgic about his childhood  (I joke I joke) | ||

God, you people, really. Relax a little, its not like someone insulted your mother and raped your sister while doing it - its just laggy. Yeah, someone lost a game because of it (but then again, it lags for both sides), which is unfortunate. Nothing more, unfortunate. Shit happens in every sport. | ||

It got said numerous times it was the computers themselves by the people that were at the actual event. What is Blizzard supposed to do? Give every tournament the perfect PC's? | ||

Sure that still probably doesn't allocate for the 100MB but I'm pretty sure in the future it will be needed as more and more games join the various competitions. Also the Kiev Cybersports Arena isn't an ESL venue, they host their own events and god knows how much streaming they need. | ||

I agree that Blizzard should be blamed for lack of LAN. I think at the very least, they should have a special release of SC2 with LAN enabled for tournament use only. | ||

Sometimes shit happens and obviously the host is RESPONSIBLE for doing their best to remedy the situation, but you can't really BLAME them if the connection decided to suddenly go to shit.

If their worry about LAN is piracy, it can be a hybrid mode that needs internet to authenticate and then runs on the LAN. The client would just ping the server occasionally to ensure the account is authenticated, but route traffic through the LAN. | ||
