Matchmaking was a required feature because joining a match in progress that lasted for 4 hours and had different teams at the end than it did at the start was awful.

I remember good matchmaking in Warcraft 3 for srandard matches.
And I also remember having lots of fun on custom servers for CS, Half-Life, D2 etc. and not at all feeling like matchmaking was a required feature.

Yes I agree, I just wanted to point out that IMO Starcraft 2 was not the first pc game with a good matchmaking system.
