This evening during the NBA Play-offs the Starcraft2 Ad will be shown for the first time as metioned in this post.

As most people will know, for WoW commercials Blizzard used Ozzy Osbourne and Mr. T. Now I was thinking: any chance they will use a celebrity for SC2? Or will they let the characters speak for themselves?

If you had to make the SC2 commercial, which celebrity would you use and how?

As a BW player my unbiased idea for an ad would be using:

Jaedong

First 30 seconds will show him first losing a proleague match then cut to him practicing while getting whiped by his coaches on your regular 12-hour session. Put some clips in-between of him having constant issues with pain in his arms having to resort to massage and different medications.

Then it cuts to SC2 and Jaedong is just living the good life with girls, parties, vacation, basically just rollin' most of the day before he shows up for the proleague game that he plays one-handed while watching TV and having dinner (preferbly his opponent would be Idra that he of course stomps hard).

Cut to the SC2 logo and have casually approved appear with one of those stamp effects.

Arnold talking about how awesome Thors are would sell unlimited copies, kind of like the "Why Terran is The Manliest Race" narrated by the forefather of muscles.

Dude, chill out.
The question is clearly stated in the OP: "If you had to make the SC2 commercial, which celebrity would you use and how?"
Also, this commercial is not going to be the last one they make for SC2.

Oh man, I approve of Arnold! Blizzard is based in California. Blizzcon is in California. Arnold is Governor of California. I can see it happening!

The one celebrity they already have: Tricia Helfer as Queen of the Blades. They will probably safe her for the expansion though.

I think boxer would be a nice touch. The pure pwnage guy would be funny, but not sure how effective that'd be.

If theyre aiming for more mainstream.. anyone tbh. They sort of aimed for more older people in their wow ads (JCVD, Mr.T...) so who knows, Arnold is a good pick
