LAN play required for Major and TI events; Online league matches: minimum stable connection with <80ms ping; Dedicated tournament servers with anti-cheat monitoring
Why people argue about this
People often assume that the network requirement only applies during Major and TI events, thinking it's just a temporary restriction for these prestigious tournaments. However, they misunderstand that all other online matches must have a stable connection with less than 80ms ping to be considered valid under this rule, not just those happening at Major or TI stages.
