Starcraft II will be region-locked
WAT
Cita:Blizzard Entertainment's VP of product development, Frank Pearce, has confirmed that the game will not allow people to play across regions.
"It'll be structured very similarly to World of Warcraft, where you've got the European region and players matched against the other players within their region," "if you're a European player and you've got friends that are in another region that you want to be able to connect with, we definitely want to support that," although "it might mean that you have to access it through the US client."
So if you want to play against people in different regions, be prepared to buy multiple versions (one for each region you want to play in) and multiple battle.net accounts.
Hey! It's another way to make more money!
