Starcraft is a national sport in some countries. Not having LAN support is pretty significant because you can't get low latency like that any other way.

- moultano 16y agoReally? I don't buy it. The game hosting is still peer to peer, the packets shouldn't have any need to leave the local network once the game is started. I'd have to see actual tests of people on the same local network with high latency before I'd believe it's a problem.
- sliverstorm 16y agoYou're right on the money, the game takes place on the local network- the only reason the internet is required is so you can log in to bnet.
