Region Linking Now Live

Region Linking Now Live

The previously announced StarCraft II region linking is now in effect with the start of Season 3, and is an amazing step forward in bringing players together from around the world. We welcome players from Latin America to the battlefield, and look forward to facing them on the ladders. A la guerra!

For more information on region linking please see the original announcement and FAQ.

You should allow new players to pick the language of game they want when buying. Portuguese SCII have a terrible translation, not to mention the voices are really annoying. I'll be joining the matches soon.

I do not believe this farce! StarCraft II is a strategy game and that involves sharing information with your allies. I don't speak Spanish and they don't speak English. At the VERY least give me a translator and I would thank you for an option to disable international teams!

I really hope they start linking more regions soon. I've got a friend in Europe and one of the main reasons I got this game was to play him. Sadly I did no research and had no idea we wouldn't be able to play together xD

@Chaz: Im always trying to spread a good manner culture, so everytime ppl rage quit me, i send a GG message and sometimes even a tip and a compliment like: u should takecare of ur backdoors, but wp counterattacking with lings.
Ppl will feel more confident, and not simple rage quit, when u try to understand what means to make mistakes.
I mean, with u make a mistake, u uld like ur opponent to send a msg like: hey, i know u could do better, just dont leave ur natural undefended. Instead of : u suk, u are a big time noob, etc...
Telling u that cuz i guess u want spread some good manner and respect! Lets make SC2 a better social game.

I'm ok with the opponent speaking another language, I see problems with teammates speaking them :/ unless somehow joining Latin American servers means more German speakers somehow XD

So, thanks to Regional Restrictions, the Latin America Region had too small a population and had to be linked to the NA Region to ensure those players could actually play. And this is something we "welcome"? Regional Restrictions is horrendeous, and the only thing I'll "welcome" is when there aren't any. There are no Oceans on the internet.

@ZehDon: Agreeeeed!! Hope the oceans disappear at all (meaning figuratively, lol). But I do. The more the ppl connect through a game like SC2, that means, very popular, well known, the more ppl will realize we are in the same world! Forever! And lets try to be in peace and harmony, so everybody get happier.

Wouldn't mind if our Real ID goes cross region, having to play on the US region if I want to keep my real ID friends list when they're playing wow, as I'm from the SEA region.

Blizzard is using a good and hugely played game like Starcraft 2 (dont play the other but i guess they would be just fine) to REALLY connect ppl of all sides of the world.
And that is beautiful! Socially and politically implicated! I love that!
And shame on u that are against any mix of language thinking the game will suffer a low on quality. All my life i had to know english to play any game. Why ppl get so stressed having to learn another language, just a few words. Please, stop racists comments and jokes. Why doing that, that wont change nothing like has been proved in history. Only understanding and cooperation can really make u feel comfortable with other that are not like u.
I can live with other and dont like, and u can too! Although i like many, many ppl!

@SteppenVaz: Amen... Thats so true, and you have now a new friend from Costa Rica ;D

Just keep playing a good games and learn some words like "Bien Jugado = well played", "Buen Juego = Good game " (But is so much better GG you know), and thinks like that.
