GAME of all time is coming !!! *PC exclusive*

Starcraft: Heart of the Swarm, the RTS that gave birth to E-Sports. It looks like the story this time will be the greatest to date. The trailers were just awesome.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm - Vengeance Trailer

Playing an online party of Starcraft should be in everyone´s list of Things to Do Before You Die.

This game is much better than any League Of Legends or DOTA2. What is more pleasant to watch, a party of LOL or two Koreans playing Starcraft ? 

Heart of the Swarm: eSports and Multiplayer

SC Multiplayer is so awesome so my palms sweat like in my first date every time I start a party. The thrilling sense of victory is just the best feeling, it´s just orgasmic.

Even Dwight Schrute loves this game. 

If I had to choose one game to play in a deserted island I would always have choosen Starcraft (with an online connection, of course XD).  

NO D3 POSTS ALLOWED

Otherwise Dwight Schrute will come to your house with his nunchucks and will kick the sh*t out of you.

Do you work for Activision or something? Inconsistancy

NOP. It´s all coming from my heart. Nice avatar, btw :D

Meh, DoTA 2 > Starcraft 2. Said it. inb4 MLG hipsters.MBirdy88

Starcraft 2 is less popular becuase it´s a much more complex game. But it´s certainly more popular as E-Sport. I watched DOTA/LOL party once, almost fell asleep. 

Looking forward to it! 

At the same time... so many games coming out!  Sim City, Tomb Raider, Heart of the Swarm, and Bioshock is just aorund the corner!

Yea... no.

Micromanagment yes.

thats about it.

Not that complexity matters.

A traditional RTS?

Sooo boring, lolz...

Superior console peasants get this instead (fun fun fun):

Anyway, what do you mean by Micromanagment. Micromanagment is important in any online game: Total War, Company of Heroes, you name it.

No, thanks - I prefer traditional sleep aid.

Starcraft became a national corean sport. I never heard Quake having become anyone´s national sport.

By "more popular" I meant more people are playing it. But it doesn´t make DOTA watchable.

You mean millions are playing the game.

No online match had ever  millions of watchers.

But  SC2 has more tournaments and more viewers per match. It´s a fact.

It´s LOL. I couldn´t care less. 

Starcraft 2 has way more tournaments than LoL, combined viewer count , while LoL gets more viewers at some major events, sc2 is not much behind in them. Sc2 tournaments have paid out way more cash for players than any other game. I'd say sc2 is the biggest esport worldwide.

Releasing one game in 8 years is milking a franchise ?

Starcraft doesn´t have even some sort of subscription. All online part is free.

dont like my opnion on the matter dont read it, forums are mediums for one to exress their opinions on matters such as this brought up within the topic dont like it then its not my problem.

I just feel its a silly way for people who dont like sports to claim they are playing a sport when in reality they aint, theres no real physical exertion in playing computer games.Playing 5 a side footy down the astro is a sport something i do every saturday morning and i love it more than games nowadays tbh mind you when you get older theres bigger fish to fry than being good at computer games.

Star Craft 2 is called E-Sport because of the amount of people it atracts and of considerable prize money at stake for the first places.

Nobody will pay you 50K for watching you drinking beer.

Every installment is dedicated to one in-game faction offering more profound story and 27 single player missions dedicated to that race which is some 20+h of single palyer campaing plus infinite amount of MP joy with a new expanded MP balance at a price of 30 bucks.

Come one.Would you prefer them splitting the game into an infinite amount of 10$dlcs.

EXPANSIONS FTW. Like in old good times.

Come on. Do you really expect someone making you an 81-single player mission campaing and selling you that for 59.99 ? Name me one single game that ever did that.

Seriously, Lostrib... I have thought you were smarter.

PS. I put provocative titles to attract more viewers ;) This is how SW works.
