A PvPGN Server can be used:
- When wanting to host a local tournament with local users and ladders.
- When wanting to maintain a local community of friends rather than playing on Battle.net.
- For people who want to play on a LAN but with Battle.net-like statistics. Various cyber cafes use a PvPGN server for this purpose.
- For people who want to play on a server within their country or local area, so as to reduce lag.
