http://starcraft.incgamers.com/blog/comments/starcraft-2-beta-for-everyone-in-korea/
Here is the original Korean article, if someone could translate it would be amazing. The website, from the looks of it, has a google translated Korean Blizzard announcement.
PC Baangs in Korea are running the StarCraft II beta, allowing thousands of Korean fans to participate without an opt-in key.
The translation seems to indicate you need to have a Korean Battle.net account to verify your real name, and/or have a PC Baang World of WarCraft account in order to log on.
So now nearly every Korean that wants to will be able to get into the beta. While they can't play from home, I'm still jealous that they get to play.

How about US PCBang? dood!
|
This would mean it is likely rolling out to wider market soon.
|
Good move in the Blizzard vs Kespa war. lol
|
I'm not that surprised that it started from korea though, hopefully it will spread to the U.S.
|
WOWWW. This is nice! Yeah, there are soo many more PC Bangs in Korea than US.
|
That's the beauty of living in a country where there are sooo many PC-bangs! I think that's really awesome, allowing so many ppl to play the Beta.
I guess there will be hundreds of nerds wanting to play the game while some other dude is massing up games. ^^'
I wonder if they have some sort of limit on how long you can play, so that other ppl can also try out SC2...
|
Who lives in AZ? My house just so happens to have 3 computers that have SC2 Beta Key... =p
|
Hopefully this means it will start going to a wider audience in the US and Europe as well soon. Still, more people in beta the better
|
we should definitely have a big AZ SC2 get together.. although I live a long drive from phx 
|
To those that don't know what PC Bang is, it is a computer cafe.
Bang means room, and PC Bang translates to PC Room.
|
Australia plz, would be fun to crush bads at internet cafe (also, PC Bang is such an awesome term)
|
this made me feel like shit
|
*still waiting for beta key*
sigh. jealous :|
|
yea you really cant blame them, most other countries dont have enough or well organized pc cafes.
|
probably because sc2 is much less popular in korea than in china, US, and EU.
|
Say goodbye to any chance for foreigner dominance in the SC2 scene
300 apm koreans coming to rape us
|
I don't suppose anyone else thinks this means the rest of the world will soon join in on the open beta, and then the beta will be over? Personally, I feel there are still some tweaking required.
|
Very smart decision. If Blizzard cannot dominate SC2 in Korea top-down, they gotta get support from the masses bottom-up style. It would be sweet though to just go to any internet cafe in my country and be able to play SC2. It makes it a bit more social, which is a thing I am really missing in the beta but I guess they don't wanna test the chat capabilities of bnet...^^
|
Great business move. Whoever decided it would be a good idea to purchase SC2 keys for these PC bangs deserves a promotion. Unfortunately, I live on a campus that is rather secluded (for good reson) from the city around it, so even if there were net cafes around here I still wouldn't be able to play. Hopefully this idea gives blizz more incentive to release additional opt-in keys rather than friend keys (which really aren't fair to those of us who play a lot, but don't make connections within the community, aka me. =()
Also, (insert obligatory "BRB moving to korea lolz" statement.)
|
I really like this, great economy promotion for gaming
|
|
|
My friend tried to create/verify a korean bnet account using his ARC, but the methods of verification do not work. It may be strictly limited to nationals of Korea and not those who are working in Korea for extended periods of time which makes me sad. Also the website said certain pc bangs, not all. Was that only for the March 12th initial release of this open beta or still in place? I ask cause the pc bang i go to with my friend is relatively new and would diminish the possiblity that we could play SC2 there.
|
this is what i get for coming to america for college. stuck playing on a friend's account with no key of my own (and crying as he drops my plat rank) without the UNPARALLELED gaming experience of korean PC bangs.

If korea has open beta, that means every matchup is gonna be solved soon

WOW Good move my blizzard.... hope it becomes open beta soon.... or i'll be pissed

I wonder how Kespa is going to react to this. They have to aggressively go after the Korean market to have a stronger hand against Kespa I suppose. Or at least form a business stand point, I'd do that to test the demand level.

lolz I don't have a beta key, but I guess I could go to a PC bang.

KeSPA has no response to this, they cant touch SC2 at all without Blizzard's permission.
Haha this is pretty smart by Blizzard, you assemble the many masses - in this case get the people of Korea hooked onto SC2 and either Kespa gives in or gets butt-raped by Koreans
|
Blizzard is genious, this is the biggest indirect kick in the nads towards KESPA they could've done.
Kespa has to admit defeat as soon as the masses realize how good of a game SC2 is going to be.

So much for Americans or Europeans becoming pro's at this game. I'll wait for SC3 to be pro now

Korea given a free pass at early SC2 dominance.

Update: Posting from the PC Bang I visit.
Tried to verify my korean battle.net account to no avail. My ARC is simply not recognized as a valid SSN strictly limiting this beta to actual nationals it seems (I hold an F4 visa). I need to go through a credit agency apparantly in order to verify.

Complete bullshit... I didn't get to play b/c of no key.. Korean kids get to just go to the nearest PC cafe for like 1 US dollar an hour and play it without a key... bullshit...
However, glad it's in Korea, since they obviously are the foundation for e-Sports.

Why would it be? Its not like KESPA runs all the pc cafes or anything rofl.
It's more like Blizzard trying to get Koreans more excited about SC2 so KESPA can do nothing but accept that its the future and if they want to be of importance in the future they need to listen to what Blizzard says.
|
This is probably the best idea for balancing.
The amount of games that will be played in a competitive context will skyrocket when the korean's start playing.
Its like in SC1, we all complain something is imba, and then the progamers solve our problems with magical builds.

I don't see how people are happy about this. We should be at SC war with korea for a dominant position. We spent what? 10+ years having "korean" be *the* thing and now they get first open beta which means more time to play with more serious gamers. IE: a potential edge. I don't want to see korea as *the* sc2 community just like it was *the* sc1 community. I want to see euro/us get some credit.

Even if the goal is for more countries to play SC2 competitively, it's still extremely important that Korea accepts SC2. Korea is still the e-sports capital, and what they like/dislike will have an impact on how other countries accept it. This is obviously Blizzard's trump card against Kespa. Kespa may not listen to Blizzard, but they'll definitely listen to what their paying customers want.

Korea won't dominate because they get to play beta earlier. They will dominate because they have players living in a house together, playing full time, with a dedicated coach and substantial sums of money at stake.
|
I was going to say April Fools, but it would be a few days early. Now I'm now confused then anything else.
|
WHAT THE HELL BLIZZARD. Giving koreans yet another advantage as if they werent good enough at SC already.
|
Blizzard doesn't give a crap if Foreigners can compete in SC2. They just want to up the bankroll.
Here's proof.
|
If you honestly think that a couple months of playing makes that big of an advantage in the long run, you're quite mistaken.
Sure, they'll have a leg up for the first couple of months but things will even out. The more important things, like actual practice time & innate skill will take over. Of course, the funny thing is that they'll still beat us based on that too. :-)
|
This makes me extremely happy 
And yes, a couple months with orders of magnitude more player base and general accepting into the Korean Culture, the game will evolve drastically in beta.
Some national or "server" pride is good, but I think its pretty selfish to cry out that Korean's are given an edge now over other servers and say it's "not fair".
Having more beta testers is good.
Having a lot more beta testers is better.
Having the e-sports capital's general public test the game is awesome.

Haha, what?! How is giving Korea an open-beta an indication that Blizzard doesn't want foreigners competing?! It's an inevitability, and this is a very good move on Blizzards part, imo. I'd like for some Koreans to solve T mech and the generic MMM builds that happen every game.

Some of my kids were talking about this...
SC2 will be very big.

I don't mind as long as Blizzard keeps the foreign invites rolling

Good for the game as a whole, very good for Blizzard, very bad for kespa, and a straight punch in the face for competitive players in the foreign scene.

blizzard trying to re-emulate the PC Bang environment that made the original SC such a success 
|
UHHH, Blizzard decided to play DIRTY!
Take that KeSPa !
xD
I wish they did same everywhere though :/
|
Very smart decision on Blizzard's part. PC Bangs are the cradle of e-Sports, since all games that became e-Sports started off by being the game of choice in PC Bangs, not to mention most (if not all) SC progamers started their careers by playing SC in PC Bangs. If SC2 succeeds in PC bangs, it will inevitably lead to a strong competitive scene in Korea.
I really wonder how KeSPA will react to this.
EDIT: Also, I kind of wish we had PC Bangs outside Korea. I think it would both help improve the image of gaming as well as make it a more social experience.
Yes, I am aware of e-Cafés, but those usually do not have such a strong emphasis on gaming. It does not help that they are few and far in-between. =(

I think a lot of people were hoping the US would be the dominant power in sc2.. but here's the thing.. Korea is going to blow us out of the water in sc2 for the same reason public schools usually beat private in highschool football games.. a larger pool of talent to draw from. ....Blizzard is intentionally birthing an esports community in America...

US being the dominant power is a pipe dream. As long as US culture doesn't facilitate pro-gaming, it will never become #1 in e-sports. It would be awesome if we could at least make the US more open to it with SC2, but I can't imagine it becoming the next Korea for a long time unless SC2 suddenly becomes a phenomenon like WoW, and I can't see that happening simply because WoW got popular for being the first casual MMO, and SC2 is anything but casual.

I really like this. I wonder if Artosis can get some footage of the PC Bangs providing sc2 beta. I think it would be nice getting a glimpse of it.

Wow, xenophobia much?
There's nothing wrong with Korea having the most dominant scene, just as long as they allow foreigners the opportunity to compete in their leagues (if they're good enough, of course).

you didn't feel any national pride whatsoever when the summer olympics were held in sydney? it doesn't make sense if you didn't. there's no problem with it.
that said, it'd be "cool" if the usa was at the top of sc2. why? because i'm from the usa!
that also being said, people need to chill out. the beta in pc bangs in korea only help the international scene, which is what we all want, right? don't take this past the level it should go.

you didn't feel any national pride whatsoever when the summer olympics were held in sydney? it doesn't make sense if you didn't. there's no problem with it.
I think you're confused with running the Olympics and being proud at being the "best" at something. Most Australians were proud at how we ran the Olympics, and particularly the Olympic volunteers (all 20,000 of them) who did such a fine job. But that's pride in our work, and something else entirely.
In any case, there's a difference between being proud and then being spiteful because someone else gets something you don't have. I'm not going to hate on another country just because they're better than us.

Me, Machine, and Inka all live together and we all have a beta key.

MBS and infinitely large groups makes APM much less important in sc2. Right now the game is all about having the right units and making the right decisions, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage, but it sure makes the korean apm machine-like players that just copy builds much weaker.

Yes, apm its less important as so many ottomated things on SC2, i think with an APM of 150 you can do fine.

u,u open beta for all plz i wanna play so bad = (

And im not mad at the open beta, koreans have always been the best.

is this an April fool joke? smells like it...

Remember same thing happened to Wow beta, a few weeks before open beta hit EU and US, anyone with a korean Social security number could register and get into korean beta. You could find the korean social security numbers of random people at like highschool pages and shit though so people would find numbers to random people and register to get korean beta 8]

I went to a PC bang last night and played the beta. It felt...amazing. Maybe I was just lucky, but my opponents were all noobs. Plus, all the maps and destructible rocks at all the choke points so there was no chance at proxies, but my void ray rushes and fast (sometimes double) expos were wonderful! The only problem was that I had to use the PC bang's login ID so I can't save a profile and build it up. Oh well, I still got to play and it was fantastic.
Another weird thing was that the game speed was set to normal (maybe fast?), and not faster. Anyone else in Korea experience this?

It's because you were playing on the Novice versions of the maps, which have destructible rocks blocking all of the chokes and run the game at normal speed (this also explains why everyone you played was terrible--no one half decent would be playing on those maps). Next time you go, there should be a "Skip" button which will take you out of the practice league and into the real game.

Excellent, and I didn't take the time to understand everything as it was all in Korean. I just clicked what I needed to start playing as soon as possible. Next time I'll spend an extra minute to play some real players.

ehh, i'm not really sure why your post is supposed to be a contradiction to mine
also, you took my quote out of context. all i was saying is that national pride is ok. i don't really care for what reason. and by "pride" i mean in an endearing type way, the way a brother is happy for another brother.
and also again, why exclude the rest of my post in your quote? it was the part that you're now agreeing with. i dun get it.

You played practice matches. Idk about korean sc2 beta, but in the EU and US one you can skip that. Basically all the maps have the rocks on them and the game speed is set to normal. When you login and play multiplayer for the first time you are asked if you want to play practice matches or go straight to placement matches. Placement matches play at full speed and have no rocks outside bases.

Tell me something like this tomorrow.
Today I'll believe NOTHING.

I don't know why a couple of people in this thread are calling April Fools. Just because the thread has been responded to today, doesn't mean it was posted today. It was posted a few days ago.

Brilliant move by Blizzard, shame for the people still not in Beta

Thanks, I went the pcbang today and played my placement matches. Only problem is that I'm using the pcbang's id. Oh well, now the pcbang is in gold league. I went freakin' 4-1. The loss was against some zerg who went mass speedlings...all my other games were against toss.
Being able to play in the beta is pretty damn sweet. I can't wait till I can play at home but having to pay about a dollar an hour to play it is fine with me.

Wow that's a great idea! I'm shure pc bang owners are happy. Gogo korea then ^_^

really smart move by blizzard
still breaks my betaless heart
ALL I WANT IS TO MASS SOME REAPERS COMON BLIZZARD

God! Koreans are just too OP, they have cute ass babys, insanley fast keyboard skills, awesome haircuts, and free access to Starcraft 2. JEALOUSY!
|
im going to korea now. brb
|
Haha. It's sort of expected. Korea was a big fan of Starcraft: why not Starcraft 2? This will allow more Starcraft/Warcraft players to run Beta and find more bugs and balancing issues!

Wait, so question
If someone were to download the korean SC2 beta client, does that mean that person could also play in the open beta? Know that something similar can happen by downloading a EU client if you have a EU beta key.

No, you need to be at a Korean PC baang.

Some tweaking will be required for some more years.
