Last week we reported on what to expect from StarCraft’s anniversary event and this week, the event is officially live and packed to the rafters with exciting extras and freebies.
Beloved sci-fi RTS StarCraft II is celebrating its 10th anniversary and to commemorate the milestone, Blizzard has launched the biggest patch in the game’s history, providing updates to the Galaxy Map Editor as well as new campaign achievements, and new prestige talents for every co-op commander.
The celebration continues on Starcraft’s official YouTube Channel where you can watch StarCraft II’s War Chest Team League. The action-packed competition is bringing together some of the game’s very best players grouped into nine teams, each of which is captained by a pro-caster providing insider knowledge and elite-tier strategies.
For more Starcraft eSports content, members of the development team are putting together a definitive list of the top ten high-flying moments and unforgettable upsets from the last decade of competitive StarCraft. Part one of the list will be available tomorrow and you can check it out on the official StarCraft II website right here.
Finally, Blizzard is offering an exclusive in-game reward to players that log in at any time between the 28th of July and the 10th of October. Participating players will unlock a new announcer, the protoss-playing mastermind White-Ra—for free!
StarCraft II is free-to-play on PC and Mac and downloadable via your Battle.net client app or the official game site right here. The game offers a genre-defining real-time strategy experience independently via the story campaign or online with other players via versus mode and co-op missions. You can also visit the Blizzard Shop to unlock additional single-player campaigns and more.
