South Korean presidential candidate makes an appeal to 'StarCraft' voters

Maybe Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign would have fared better if she'd released free DLC, too.

Too soon?

South Korean presidential candidate Moon Jae-in came up with an ingenious plan to court younger voters: StarCraft maps. In possibly related news, Moon Jae-in is also considered the election's current frontrunner.

In case you're missing the important context here: South Korea is home to some of the most talented StarCraft players on the planet. The game's esports pros are publicly known celebrities. If you're going to chase the youth vote in South Korea, StarCraft maps are a smart way to go.

Moon's campaign released two versions of a map called "Moonters," which you can find right here (h/t Kotaku). It's actually an existing map, with one notable difference: a massive deposit of minerals in the center of the map that spells out, in Korean, "1 Moon Jae-sin."

The variant map ditches the centrally located mineral deposit in favor of a formation that spells out "1" in the top-right corner of the map. You can see a bird's-eye-view of both maps in the image up top.

Moon's site also features this time-lapse YouTube clip from the map. Though after much discussion here at the Mashable office, we're still not sure what it's meant to highlight.
