If this really was the COMPUTERS mainly that caused the problems, people have legitimate reason to get upset and criticize cause that is largely AVOIDABLE.

implying lan wouldnt solve issues we've had before?

your argument is that because at this 1 league they dont have internet lag, lan wouldnt help run present and future leagues?

Funny how people keep on bashing Blizzard for not supporting LAN while the problems obviously seem to be related to the hardware/software setup of the gaming PCs (and partly lagging casters). From a "professional" tournament organizer such as ESL, I would expect that they check such basic things before the event begins.

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

yeah - and Blizzard gets all the shit which doesn't make any sense here

RotterdaM already pointed out after one of the lag games that it looked like PC lag for the specific player (too high graphics used on too shitty PC), where it starts lagging in a big 200/200 fight

I wasn't too disappointed with today. 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!

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.

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.

Probs to Zenio, although in the official statement it doesn't really sound like he had such a big influence on the decision: Link.


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.

Carmac is awesome. There is only so much you can do when you are dealing with online connections. You should be blaming Blizzard for making it so hard on tournament organizers by not implementing any LAN-alternative.

- The situation with naniwa happened later on (naniwa having lag issues that affected the outcome of his game). 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.

Actually it's not obvious at all, and there could be multiple reasons for similar-looking behavior of the computers. Until Carmac/IEM-representatives state what were their computers this remains open.

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).

You see if there was LAN mode, Shitty computers transform into supercomputers that can handle anything.
