In August 2010, Blizzard announced that the original StarCraft II game had sold more than 1 million copies in its first day on sale, and went on to sell around 1.5 million copies in its first two days. While the sales figures include both physical retail copies and digital downloads, Blizzard did not provide a breakdown of the percentage each made up. As well as this, they claim that 1.1 million viewers tuned in to the Heart of the Swarm tournament at Major League Gaming’s most recent event. Blizzard boasts “around 1.1 million” copies of both digital and retail versions of the game were sold within the first two days.

It was released the other week and sold a lot of copies. Heart of the Swarm is the first expansion pack to Blizzard’s sci-fi RTS StarCraft II. Blizzard also boasts that 1.1 million viewers tuned in to see the Heart of the Swarm tournament at the MLG Winter Championship in Dallas.
