The one thing I think that LoL has proved is that the larger the player base, the larger the viewership. For SC2, which already has a very high conversion rate of viewers who at one time purchased the game but no longer play, this is going to be a boon Blizzard continues to support moves such as this. | ||

Or even more relevant? If you are top GM on all servers, does that not say something? | ||

I just wonder if there would be bandwidth or latency issues when playing with players that are from a different region. Any thoughts? There will be no difference to today but Blizzard will say that they improved it a lot and they will look for further results  | ||

The solution with different servers does not need real new technology, it is more an administrative issue. Also it is not true global play, so Blizzard is using a misnomer here (like in Diablo.) | ||

Newsflash ... the technology is already there, it's called internet. They're not doing anything but "letting" you authenticate versus the other servers and also increasing the computing power on the servers or balancing the load accordingly. Everything stays the same "technology" wise. And ofc korea will get flooded with new players in the first few weeks. | ||

You are making a lot of assumptions, there could have been legit technical reasons for such a delay. | ||

People with a good connection to the server shouldn't get punished by playing versus someone who has a bad connection or just lives far away from the server. Whoever is closer to the server still has an advantage. People that travel a lot should be forced to play on high lag servers? LAN plz. | ||

"More details soon", its 2 years later since the first promise. So many promises coming to the HotS expansion, and some of them will not be fulfilled. People will still buy the expansion, sadly enough, and will think that "the updates are coming soon".  | ||
