Notes:

Blade and Soul was released 30/6, with a Beta from 21/6. Therefore, the number of players is much higher than shown. Similarly, because Diablo 3 was released 15/5 the May numbers are much lower; and Diablo III is losing players instead of gaining. This is further cofirmed by looking at the four weekly updates.

June had the highest number of players thus far this year.

This was the first month were League of Legends did not grow, most likely related to the recent releases of Diablo 3 and Blade & Soul.

Since January, Brood War has lost 153,884 Players, or ~38.9%.

Since January, StarCraft 2 has lost 51,240 Players, or ~55.1%.

Among games that have been in Top 20 since January only League of Legends has more players than then.

StarCraft 2 is free-to-play at PC Bangs as long as you have a Korean Battle.net account with a KSSN. In addition, this month represented the smallest drop yet this year for StarCraft 2.
