StarCraft II Global Play is not available to players in mainland China+1. "Mainland China is outside the Earth", you can not use Youtube or Twitter there without VPN.

If you want to play in CN region, You must buy a CN account in Shanghai. (90 CNY for unlimited game time, but players who is under 18 yrs old or used fake Chinese ID No. to create CN account, can only play a few hours every day.)

BTW, no one knows when CN region can play HOTS, although players who bought CN unlimited WOL will play unlimited HOTS for free.


PS: You may use some 3rd party tools to change client language or play other regions (e.g. EU) with one client.

PPS: CN version must pay online. You must buy the card called "战网一卡通" or "战网点卡" or “魔兽世界点卡”, and enter the codes on your CN account page. If your wife don't know what card to buy, she can ask people whom in "百度星际2吧".

PPPS: Global play let you play all non-CN regions, including TW/KR. It will available on March 12.



Actually, you can go to any internet cafe to buy the card.

Thanks Sase,

Im not really concerned about global play. All I want is to be able to play Starcraft 2 at all. There will be no problem with getting chinese version and creating an account on their battle net as my wife is chinese so surely she will help me out.

Lets say, if I get taiwanese version with taiwanese battle net I will get access to korean servers as well?

Most of the people on here advise not to play on chinese ladder due to underpopulated servers and level of skills.


TW/KR server may lag sometimes in Shanghai.
If you want to play on Chinese server, I can signup an account for you.

I currently also live in China since 8 month. For me the internet connection is too bad to play on EU/NA.
Since without VPN it didn't work at all and when I use VPN the internet is too slow.
Does anyone know a good VPN or another way to play?
cheers for the input

Hey guys, I have a question regarding this topic.

Global play works fine in the sense that I can use my EU account to play on NA, but KR and SEA don't work for me. I absolutely cannot log into any of those two battle.net servers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its ninja button - at least for me, in the login screen try to press login without ur password typed in.. it should show the "REGION" button on the left side of the screen. Then u just pick server and go

Since this post get high in search I feel it is necessary to clarify from my own experiences - if you buy the Taiwan version the UI will be forced to Traditional Chinese and there is no apparent ways to change it to English or other language. I assume similar for China version of even Korea version - you may want to double check before buying any version that's not native to you.
