E-Stars Seoul 2009 Starcraft 2 Gameplay – Protoss vs. Terrans
August 1, 2009 by Ruibo
The StarCraft 2 South Korean E-Stars Seoul 2009 event revealed a new gameplay video of a battle between Protoss vs. Terrans. The video isn’t the best in quality and there is a Korean commentator but it does give us an idea of how fast pace and aggressive Starcraft 2 multiplayer will be. One on One games are intended to last no more than 20 minutes, the players are provided with the proper tools to take advantage of the other player’s weakness and mistakes.

I can’t believe that they are actually removing or shall i rather say not including LAN in SC2. LAN is what made the original SC popular in the first place.
Im 31 yrs old and me and my brothers still lan the original SC when ever we get a chance…..Blizzard will be loosing a big portion of their fan base if they leave LAN out.
This is from wikipedia “StarCraft was released internationally on 31 March 1998 and became the best-selling PC game for that year, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide.[73] In the next decade, StarCraft sold over 9.5 million copies across the globe, with 4.5 million of these being sold in South Korea.[74] Since the initial release of StarCraft, Blizzard Entertainment reported that its Battle.net online multiplayer service grew by 800 percent.[75] StarCraft remains one of the most popular online games in the world.[76][77]”
So they want to cut back on piracy…did piracy of the original SC not help to make it one of the most popular games in the world? Im not saying that piracy is right but i am sure that it helped to distrute and advertise the game to thousands of gamers that eventually bought the game. i mean 9.5 million copies sold world wide….
I heard that you now will need to buy 2 add-ons to be able to play the 3 races in 3 diffirent campaigns. I will not be surprised if Blizzard is going to charge if you want to play online…
This whole setup stinks…greed is behind this. The new SC2 game looks awsome but i will have to see i will buy it. Without LAN whats the point.
theyre running it free through battle.net that only really causes a problem for tournaments that want the extra .001 second and people like you who probably just got a crack and play on a private hosted battlenet. so if you don’t buy it who cares.
