It’s seen as a disappointment or even a failure. The funny thing is there seems to be this pervasive perception - especially from people who don’t play it - that StarCraft II is somehow neglected or abandoned, or the red-headed stepchild of the Blizzard family. Obviously World of Warcraft is the greatest financial success, but money isn’t everything. The game may well be its greatest achievement since Warcraft III, at least from a player’s perspective. I’ve talked before about how much I love StarCraft II‘s co-op, but for a while now I’ve been meaning to talk more broadly about what an amazing job Blizzard has done with SC2 generally. But I also believe in giving credit where it’s due, and the company still does some things that are worthy of respect. Progress and collections are shared across all regions except for the Public Test Region.While I do think the studio’s actions at BlizzCon are encouraging, it still feels weird heaping praise on Blizzard right now. Note: In Overwatch, you cannot select a play region instead, the game will place you into the best match based on your ping. Once those regions undergo maintenance and patch as well, you will be able to play in those regions. When your client patches, you will be locked out of any other regions that have not yet received that patch. Choosing to play in a different region may negatively affect your connection to our servers. Your game progress is tied to your Play Region, and isn't shared across regions. By default, you will play in your home region, which is determined by your country of residence. To switch between Play Regions, click the globe icon dropdown button next to the Play button. Asia for players in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.Europe for players in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, and the Middle East.Americas for players in North America, Latin America, South America, Australia, and New Zealand.

Global Play is available for all our games except for World of Warcraft. Blizzard Global Play allows you to connect to game servers in regions outside your own, making it easy to play with your friends in other parts of the world.
