It doesn't reflect the actual Korean sales because it only counts the accounts that have completed 5 placement matches. The game is only out for 1 month, I would imagine many people are still playing Single player or other Multiplayer game modes. What sales? There aren't any sales... It's free Most if not all Koreans will play ladder, they wouldn't deliberately avoid it... This isn't even debatable. Also it's 190k ppl played ladder, which includes ppl who just quit is still counted.

I thought so too but surprisingly half of my friendlist in BNet haven't been assigned to a ladder league yet. We are on TL, the most competitive SC community in the world so it may seem so strange that someone would enjoy SC2 for weeks without hitting that "start placement" button. But not everyone is interested in laddering. | ||

I think the problem for SC2 was a) Koreans had to update their current computers for good graphics (tbh this is a big put off for a lot of Koreans) b) BW is still immensly popular, their 'heroes' are still in BW c) THERE IS NO LAN (okay this one is from me but still mad about this) 190k players... THe biggest issue is increased cost at PCBangs making those owners not want to promote the game at all | ||

I am BW fan, and I like it more than SC2 (primarily because I don't own a computer that can handle SC2). But that doesn't mean that SC2 sucks. Asides from few things that I do not like about the game (ball vs ball), the game has great potential. The game might do horrible at launch, but it doesn't guarantee a failure for next few years. | ||

Wow 3 million worldwide and only 190k in korea... You know how sometimes theyll say "This is player X's game to lose." That reminds me of Blizzards situation with SC2 in Korea. Oh well 190k is nothing to sneeze at either i guess. | ||

Give them some time. If Koreans truly love highly competitive multitask-based RTS then they have no legitimate reason to reject SC2. | ||

Some kids use bw for years as chatrooms without ever playing the game. They meet friends n whatnot no chatrooms was a huge letdown. Something so easy to implement leading to such big things i think its almost funny how stupid it was to release without chatrooms over there. Just read the oGs.TL interview even the pros state that chatrooms are the reason why sc2 didnt do as good as it should in Korea.. | ||

i mean... look at the stupidity of bnet 2.0. its not just a korean issue, we all have a problem with it. but the blizz/kespa problem just exacerbate the problem which caused their expectations for SK to plummet. | ||

I used to have friends in Korea that would just chill in-game chat rooms all the time like Maple Story, Starcraft, Ragnarok, and that's all they would do lol. They just seemed to enjoy the company of each other and would occasionally game. I do think that BNET 2.0's massive failure had something to do with sales being a failure in Korea. | ||

Oh and I would much rather have the possibly to watch replays with friends then to chat with strangers. Small stuff like that bugs me the most | ||
