SC2 with 173% growth in Korean bangs during launch week

Despite not enjoying the same popularity in Korea as its predecessor, StarCraft 2 has seen a marginal increase in playtime in PC cafe's during the launch week of its expansion.

4,000 PC bangs (from a total of 15,817) in Korea have been sampled to extract this statistics and the results are showing a 173.48% increase in playtime for StarCraft 2. With 105,215 hours played, SC2 climbed ten spots the past week and is currently ranked 11th among the most popular games in South Korea.

Despite the tremendous growth, however, SC2 still seems to be lagging behind the ranking leaders or even its predecessor, StarCraft 1 (currently ranked 7th), according to Gametrics.com table.
