Hey everyone!
So I went around Seoul (itaewon) Korea surveying random Koreans asking if they played sc2.
Sadly half the interviews data became corrupt but I think you will still enjoy what was saved! More to come if I get positive feedback :D

Totals: Surprisingly a lot more Koreans play casually or still play than you would think. Total Interviewed: 21 (not all wanted to be on camera)
Yes: 11
No: 7
Use to Play: 3

If you like this video please go to youtube and hit like! It really helps me. Thanks!

Considering there's confusion between the original Starcraft and the sequel? Also you have to look at sample size, age group demographics and exactly where you asked such questions. For instance if you ask in front of a PCBang when people come out surely they played it. The idea behind it is nice. It won't change a thing when LotV comes out. It will be the same story all over again.

Haha, nice video and initiative! Well done, thanks.

Seems like the sc1-superior-to-sc2 mentality is around in Korea as well.

Like the numbers should be any strange? Korea IS Starcraft, then if its 1 or 2, who da hell cares? Now sc2 is the game thats in focus in media and everywhere so not strange the koreans playing it.. BW already had its days way back, gotta move on! Real fanatics will play BW til death i guess.

That is why so much more people play BW than SC2 in Korea, duh.

I like the shortness of the video. Around 2 minutes is perfect. Longer than that wouldn't really add anything.
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

nice OP! i love these kinds of interview/survey vids, never thoght about having one for starcraft!!! awesome thankd for doing it :D was funny

I like how the one guy said that sc1 he felt was the best game ever, sc2 is "not good" because it's too hard (TOO much depth/variables), it makes sense just thought it was interesting
