Heads up! Do you want to play Starcraft 2 without having to install and download patches on release? Blizzard is now allowing you to download the full client without having to pay up front. At 10:00 AM PDT on Tuesday, July 27 (launch day) you can then pay for StarCraft II and start playing straight away! Saving all of us from racing home only to sit in front of an installing bar and counting down the percentages.

As we have seen in the past, there is a high chance that Blizzard servers will have an overhaul of downloads, this will also help skip the rush. You are all encouraged to download now!
