If spectators don’t wish to watch the games from the game itself they can go to twitch because 99% of the tournament matches are streamed from there.  Local Area Network has been put in the game where there is barely any lag and with really high quality. LAN tournaments are usually held for a really big tournament where players across the world meet in a specific country and go play. Some people preform really well online because they are not that experienced with playing LAN and vis versa for other players and teams. And for these games they have placed a lot of servers around the country so people from Europe play to the servers closer to them not the ones in the United States or Asia they will have a lot of lag that will make the gameplay unplayable.
