Still nice to directly post this statement here in the forum though. Maybe some day ESL might eventually learn from their mistakes... | ||

Nope, I am implying that people are always too quick to jump on Blizzard's neck, whilst not having the slightest idea of what's actually going on, and I doubt LAN would help at all in this particular situation.

I know that Blizzard's lack of LAN has effed over many tournaments, and will continue to do so, and I know you guys were trying hard to fix any problems you faced. Hope things run smoother in bracket play, best of luck! Like this dude. I don't like the fact that Carmarc's letting people do guess work and that he even mentioned Blizzard in the first place, when it's so clear that what happened today was due to the shitty computers being used, in fact he barely suggested that when he said the players avoided especific computers and kept on talking about connections. | ||

Everyone is praising Zenio for his good sportsmanship, but I doubt he wanted a regame. I guess that's why it took two hours to take a decision on this match. | ||

His instant emotional reaction was to want to discontinue playing, but he came back to finish his games on another PC and won the group. Throughout the entire situation - from the start until after all of his games, he was considerate and understanding and his behaviour was very professional. No bullshit. I'm really happy about this part. I also want to add that I like IEM a lot. eSport takes place on an unfortunate platform, and you made the best of a good situation by apologizing. I hope for 3 days of SC2 without problems this weekend. | ||

Until Carmac/IEM-representatives state what were their computers this remains open.Seemed pretty obvious to me, but keep on blaming Blizzard guys, since LAN would solve said issues like np! Also, this IS again something to blame Blizzard for, because the game is obviously not optimized yet, especially in the pathing algorithm (which I think is the main reason for CPU lag when there are too many units on the map, even not in vision). | ||
