I believe they value; points>maps won/lost>internal meetings>more games | ||

I enjoyed a game or two but overall was left with a bitter taste after today. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow and better preparation for Brazil and WC. | ||

It doesn't cut it. Naniwa already got a lot of bad talk because of this, a lot of players are probably in their hotel room swearing right now. If there actually is a routing issue from the arena ISP to the Telia bnet servers, why didn't it show before at earlier competitions? Sure, there may have been changes but it isn't very likely that it would change for the worse considering how the Internet is evolving and how well built the EU network is built. From what people are saying it is pretty damn obvious that the actual PC's being used for playing are sub par. 1.6 is not relevant for this discussion at all since it has LAN support and runs at literally 500 fps on my four year old laptop in a public server with 24 players. I don't know about LoL but I doubt it eats computing power(both cpu and gpu) like SC2 does. A 150+ food fight at a minimum 60fps is actually really demanding. We even saw the lag popup several times today which clearly indicates that the computer(s) were struggling. Sometimes it only showed as spikes, which could be a network issue but again - from what "we heard" there were issues with low fps from time to time. Let's cross our fingers for the rest of the event  I am sharpening my pitchforks though, might come in handy on sunday. | ||

They simply weren't good enough, and some worse than others due to a so far unexplained reason (as Carmac stated they all have the same specs, yet no reason why some computers lagged worse than others). Get it to your heads that this was indeed IEM's fault, and not even remotely close to Blizzard's fault. Battle.net was fine. The internetconnection was fine. We should all appreciate the post by Carmac though and sincerely hope that the problems are fixed tomorrow. Until then, we can just pray. Routing problem is quite different from "they weren't good enough". Stop trolling. | ||

Why not give players a Lan mode ? most people play online anyway , and the game would have much more players.. but no... not like the first starcraft because that way the games would not be on blizzards servers.. =( GSL had players lagging out and much more tourneys had lag problems , so its not IEM fault.. breaks players concentration and spectator interest.. thanks blizzard for SC2 , FU for not giving LAN mode | ||

Or are you gonna put this on Blizzard too? Good call. IEM has to make some statement about this. What qualifies a game to be replayed? Which players "deserve" re-games? Will you allow NaNiwa to play Strelok again, as well? Or is NightEnd vs Zenio being replayed only because it decided whether or not NightEnd advances? About what HuK said as well: it seems Zenio didn't even agree to this. Official statements are needed! | ||

The best scenario would be if a bunch of really hard-core hackers would develop such a LAN server. It would probably be illegal but it could potenatially force Blizzard to develop legal one. I really hope the LAN server would be developed by Heart of the Swarm. | ||

In his last game vs. Zenio it was OBVIOUS PC lag that caused him no to control his stalkers right! He was basically robbed. I am with you guys in that! I was watching one of the most amazing games simply because of how he was behind all the time, countering mutas at his main all the time while trying to attack a bit Zenio. Then he sniped all of Zenio's infestors and then began owning Zenio's brood lords only to begin lagging like crazy and not be able to control his army! :/ I even think he deserves a rematch! | ||

Historically, he has had some emotional outburst issues, but he was a total baller and won his group like a champ, no excuses or whining or anything. NaNi, you have won my heart. <3 | ||
