anyway to run starcraft 2 on an hp steam 11?

I noticed that the demo let's me play the human race smoothly with a few units and the framerate is not as good with the other race even with a few units. Is it safe to say that I won't be able to handle larger battles with the stream 11?

Given the Stream 11 is at or below the minimum system requirements in every single category, I'm going to go with no.

There are quite a few graphics options that can be tweaked, so I'd assume that if the demo runs, I would be surprised that even with a few compromises the game in general won't run properly. Multiplayer might be a problem though.

SC2 can really bring a CPU to its knees depending on the units and game settings.

I thought SC2 basically plays on anything? My macbook pro from 2009 plays it flawlessly.

the stream 11 has a baytrail (atom) dual-core processor

...and that Atom is going throttle like a bad habit when you push it too hard. Especially in a fanless machine like the Stream 11. So my guess is, no?
