Blizzard Korean StarCraft II Event
On the 13th of this month we posted news about a Korean Press Event being put together by Blizzard on the 24th promoting StarCraft II, with a special "surprise" mixed in. That event occurred, and we have the details.
The event was to announce Blizzard's marketing and advertising partnerships in Korea. To announce their partnership with KoreaAir Airline, they revealed a StarCraft II themed jet, which should always have a Doctor on board in order to qualify it as a Medivac Dropship.
Blizzard also announced a partnership with Lotteria, a Korean burger chain, and graphics card company Nvidia. While some fans were hoping for the announcement of a "StarCraft II Professional Edition", which included LAN capabilities for major tournaments, it appears the event was just to announce advertisers, which while not being the most exciting thing in the world for fans and gamers, should be taken as great news since a strong advertising base will add to the longevity of the game.
