The Lair brings that feeling back, but now you can host 4v4 Fastest on a modern Surface tablet connected to a USB hub with 7 other nerds." The killer sub-feature: Session QR Code. If your friend is on a different floor of the office but on the same VLAN, The Lair generates a QR code on your screen. They scan it with their phone, the phone converts the IP/Port to a text string, and they manually type it in (or via copy/paste if using Windows Phone Link).
This is a fascinatingly specific request. is considered the "holy grail" version by competitive purists (the last version before the v1.18 patch that introduced launchers and account changes). "Direct Play" means no CD-key check, no Battle.net forced login, and using UDP/IPX for LAN.
