PC baang

From StarCraft Wiki

PC방, 피시방 or 피씨방

PC baangs are internet game rooms used in South Korea. They are similar to internet cafés in other countries. The word "baang" (Hangeul: 방; Hanja: 房) means "room" in Korean, so the term literally means PC room.

In baangs, players can play LAN-based games, including StarCraft. South Korea has widespread broadband support as well, but players tend to prefer playing in baangs.[1] There were over 20,000 baangs in South Korea as of 2006.[2]
