Blizzard lied to us?

Its a system where you log on to ur bnet account then connect with others, this way, blizz thinks pirated version will be stopped. Oh yeah, local connections are possible, it's just very diffrent

It's not a local connection. Even if you have 2 computers in the same room, you both have to connect to Bnet 2.0. This of course, does not have the low latency benefit of a direct, local connection. Its WIDE AREA NETWORK, not Local Area Network (WAN vs LAN). WAN uses your internet provider to make a connection, LAN does not.

All I know is Chaos used to give us ridiculously low latency playing games on SC, wayyyy better than playing in a normal lobby. Fuck if i know the terminology, but whatever that was, im sure sc2 will have before long
