StarCraft II to get global multiplayer in upcoming patch

Blizzard has announced that one of its biggest games - StarCraft II - will get Global Play. In the past, multiplayer has only been possible with the region you bought the game in. Global Play will be added to the game in an upcoming patch in the coming months, according to Blizzard.According to the announcement, Global Play will give you access to StarCraft II game servers in regions outside your own, expanding the possibilities for eSports, exposing you to maps and games that aren’t yet published everywhere, and making it easy to play with your friends in other parts of the world. Each region will have separate profile data, meaning that characters, profiles, ladder rankings, progress, and friends lists will not carry over from region to region. With Global Play, you’ll have other regions to choose from as you create new characters, take on different ladder opponents, and perhaps try maps that you’ve never seen before.Click here for full story
