Congrats that means its real, just gl hf and Gg

You requested for source on region lock, that's what you get. People are expecting that Blizzard will raise the bar by allowing players from all over the world to play against each another. They're basically trying to kill of LAN simulators & non-sanctioned competitions / leagues that utilized their products. No flying spaghetti monster, no iCCup, no KESPA. I sincerely believe that's the very reason they removed the LAN capability in StarCraft 2.

Yet, it looks like they're punishing the players by putting up so many limitations. When we play games "online", there should be no boundary that separates us from the rest of the world. They wanted to eliminate all the aforementioned factors, yet they don't really have a solution that benefits us players. Now, this reminds me of The Burning Crusade's "You are not prepared!"

blame the players who pirate the game.
blame the ones who created gayrena.

u 2
hope im the one say gg after my opponent

a quick question for those who are already playing the beta.

how good is the general population of the current beta players oh?

they rush good?

they kena rush good?

actually they varies depending on which league are u in and what they scouted u...
always scout and react accordingly >.<
that's wut i've noticed...

Try and win all 5 of your placement games and kick some platinum league asses.

with our latency, it wont be easy >.<

Its a good challenge thought.

How lagging would it be for us to play on US servers?

well, thats just too much to expect honestly, and again, blizzard is still in the process of revamping the entire b.net system, and this is still a beta after all. while they did mentioned specifically that they wont be streamlining the entire bnet yet, who knows if it will become a reality in the near future?

whats certain for now, is that the "region" thingy is no different than the current bnet/WoW model, so if you're already playing the current bnet or WoW, totally nothing to worry about.

I thought in WC3 you can change server regions? Rather than locking into one.

Still,why dont they allow the players to connect to other region's players? What would happen if you stay at the border of Europe at Asia,when Korean, Chinese etc players are so far away from you compared to Europeon players?

in wc3, anyone can create a free account on battle.net, provided that a wc3 / frozen throne with a legit cd key is used to connect to battle.net

in the new battle.net, the battle.net account is like our steam account.

but i dun see the reasoning to region lock us.

steam does not region lock us also.

Hi wanna play SC2 now?

AFAIK you could do the same when the bnet system goes live. just that you cant play with korea server folks from say, us server. what people want now, is the entire bnet streamlined into 1 server.

and no, the latency issue isnt that bad if you're used to it in war3. if anything, war3 is a ton more micro intensive than sc2 would ever be. (OH LOOK I DEATHCOILED A CORPSE etc. etc.)

still at opis la now.
later. maybe after 10pm.

aiyo, so late a. Latter then la.

Latency wise, its playable thats for sure.

Starcraft II FPVODs

These are some FPVODs from a Malaysian Starcraft 1 now playing Starcraft II. Sometimes its quite smooth sometimes horrible but generally, its playable.

Are you on Bnet 2.0? Mind to share give us your nick and id? Mine is megazero.axelay

starcraft is similar to Warcraft 3 right? i need to get a rough guess on what im gonna play when im buying it lol.
