Thanks for spending so much time creating this for us, Blizzard!

Thanks for finally allowing access to any region, albeit in the form of a Starter Edition!

Thanks for allowing us to play any race... wait what? we can only play Terran?

Thanks Blizzard!

No ladder games. Only 4 melee maps and some custom maps (maybe those 3 customs, that are from Blizzard?)

Very awesome news, plus it'll get more Terrans involved (since you can't play any other race)!

This reminds me of the old SCBW Spawn versions. Pretty cool to help people get into the game with no investment cost.

ITT we have the best way for Korean Terrans and NA Terrans to play against each other on Bnet on custom games.

Blizzard recognizes that the most fun unit in the game, the Hellion, will attract many new players.

I ask simply from curiosity, but how has SC2 done so far in resisting hacked versions?

Same as WoW. Its the new Free2Play trend. Next will be Achievements/Portraits for $.

Yeaaaaaaaa!!!

This is actually pretty cool though.
Neat idea.

Be a dick first, use "neat" later!!

I like how you can play on any region.

More proof that Blizzard is trying to push Starcraft 2 into an era of Terran dominance

I think, SC2:Hots - Started Edition will allow to play as Zergs only or both races.

But I think, there can be some hacks later, that will allow to play as Zerg/Protoss in this Started Edition.

I have a question. Does this mean that newbs are going to be playing on XNC, Shattered and some other customs against people who have had this game for a year randomly. Just let them play practice league if you actually want any rate of retention. They are going to get beat up and stop playing customs the first day.
