So that way you can be matched up against people who have a similar skill rating to your own. The Multiplayer ladder system also polls your skill rating based on wins and losses and determines an MMR (match-making rating) for you. The multiplayer is also extremely balanced even though you can pick a fundamentally different race they have an equal chance of beating that race. There is an extremely high skill ceiling, which means that you can constantly get better at the game by playing faster, better decisions, and/or more efficiently. In the multiplayer you take on one of the three races and duke it out with other players (or maybe even 1v1). RTS (Real Time Strategy) is a genre of game that involves strategy and does not use a turn based system, but instead actions entered in real time. The Campaign is split into three different expansions: Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, which all follow each race, Terran, Zerg and Protoss, respectively. StarCraft 2 is an RTS game set in space and deals with the interactions between three different races: the Terran, Zerg and Protoss.
