Damn those asians are smart.

 

60k a year... Dayum

I need to start playing starcraft

 

Anyone have the statistics for sales in Hong Kong? And how many people still playing Starcraft One in Hong Kong?

StarCraft is an incredible game which takes loads of skill and intelligence to play, so there's no wonder they play it in South Korea where they're so smart haha.

I like StarCraft as well, but I'll never be able to play it like a Korean.

 

Heh, I've played that for a few years. Those are quite some interesting facts though.

 

I just got Starcraft 2, it's really not my thing.

 

You also forgot to include the IQ Estimate for Hong Kong, which is 107, beating South Korea by one point. Which means Hong Kong's IQ Estimate is Rank 1.

Hong Kong is number one out of all of them, so CHINESE PEOPLE RULE THE WORLD!!! The statistics show.

I always thought Japan was the video game country.. It's amazing how many people play in South Korea and how often.

Is Start Craft really that good of a game? I've never tried it.

 

How long it will take them all to upgrade to Starcraft II? But guessing by the popularity of the game, it won't take long, its like their national sport.

I wonder what the statistics are in North Korea

 

Its a really complicated game to get into.

 

I love StarCraft. I still play the first one. I would buy StarCraft2 but my computer can't run it D:

might get it when I get my sisters laptop

 

Oh it's on. Whats your battlenet account name?

Population, China

1,324,655,000 - 2008

Population, South Korea

48,607,000 - 2008

It's sad how a country with 27 times more the population of it is only 1 IQ point above.

Not at all, it's like any other RTS game, you should try it out.

 

Once you get to grips with starcaft its fucking amazing. Watch how fast pro gameplays are its crazy.

 

I have tried it (starcraft II). but I didnt understand it at all and quited it after like 45 minutes. I have never been into RTS games much but I have played a few.

 

Did I say China? No, I didn't. I said "HONG KONG", not "CHINA", get it right, there's a difference... Hong Kong has a population of 6,977,700 right now, as it says on population on Google's Public Data.

It's sad how a country divided by 6.96 has achieved one point higher IQ Estimate score than a country that's 6.96 times bigger.

Hong Kong's population - 6,977,700

South Korea's population - 48,607,000
