We have been using the dedicated server for a few weeks and I can say that even after the last patch the server is still a mess. Set it up with a rack service for maximum possible bandwidth, but there are still quite a few bugs to work out. I know they are still working on this but ATM I would consider it still broken. Not sure if you could expect more of the online championship as it basically uses the same net code. We are getting a lot of bug splats at the moment.
