when did starcraft 2 become free to play?
march 2011
during blizzcon 2017, blizzard entertainment announced that "starcraft ii" would become free-to-play starting november 14, 2017. this included the "wings of liberty" campaign, full "legacy of the void" multiplayer and co-op access, and the custom games section called the arcade, for everyone. this led to a large resurgence in interest and player base as "starcraft ii" viewership surged in 2018, with many events showing great improvements, some over double their 2017 viewership. this included the gsl vs. the world 2018 tournament, the first gsl event to be won by a non-korean, finnish player joona "serral" sotala. it became the highest-viewed korean tournament outside of korea for "starcraft ii". television network viewership has not been available for domestic comparison.
