so i figured, why not play some starcraft at internet cafe's, since for BW, it is KOR>CHN>USA so today in guangzhou, i went to two different internet cafe's.. and no one played starcraft :[ i saw some FPS, MMO's, music games like Audition, quite a few Chinese DotA, but NO STARCRAFT. i'm guessing everyone plays from home.. or it's not that popular in China T_T   | ||

VS works almost the same way as G-Arena. It is installed in every cafe. You need to create an account first though. | ||

No one that I saw played SC1 or SC2. All I saw was WC3, DotA, some other RTS's, some knock-off of Counter-Strike, WoW/other MMO's, Hearts, and other games (mostly casual ones). SC isn't popular at all in China, it seems. EDIT: On a side note, I also find it odd that a lot of people here still play King of Fighters '97 (oooold-ass game) and never play the newer installments or the Street Fighter series. Oh well, everyone has their preferences. | ||

half are playing wow, a chinese mmo, or dota the other half are playing a browser game or one of countless dance titles. all are pay-to-play. In any given netcafe there will be the one or two decent war3 or sc players who "used to play" that game and who will know about Mr Ma and other legends. Even though everyone stills knows and appreciates the game they will say 操作要求太高了 or "the micro required is too high [to play]")...so they play mmos ... People who are smart and good at games no longer play war3, sc, and the like with their time... rather, they play in online casinos... and live off of their winnings. Most of the chinese SC scene takes place on a client similar to Garena (in fact it is exactly like garena since they copied VS who copied the HAOFANG game-client model). anyway, the scene of good players is small and fairly tight-knit. You will need accounts on both QQ and VS game client to play with them. Be ready to play vs MANY zergs. VS download In top right of screen (blue shield like logo) | ||

They hate games that requires strategic thinking, and love to play Chinese MMORPGs, which I argue is just MMO, since there is no RPG in it. (when you can use bot to kill monster, and it is extremely to die anyways...) 90% of the people I ask, they say they play "online game" and think online game = MMO. 80% + gamer do not even know what RTS is. | ||

Most Starcraft players in China are 25+ and they would have jobs and internet at home so they wouldn't need to play at netcafes. | ||
