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]
