I believe that was the plan after they get the first War Chest implemented, which was going to take the longest time to get implemented anyways.

I seriously don't care about skins, portraits, voice packs and such in games, but for some reason I buy almost everything that Blizzard releases for SC2. Like Blizzcon portraits that I bought for all 3 accounts that I own. In my opinion Blizzard is doing really good job with it.

I am disappointed that I have to wait until Q3 (I hoped that all Blizzard organized WCS events will have their own War Chests!), but I will definitely buy at least one War Chest. Depending on the price, maybe one for each account I own.
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

Everything concerning sc2 seems so half-assed tbh. Yes there are some highlights like TB's voice pack, but even there it looks rather like the achievement of TB and not so much like blizzard doing a good job tbh.

Actually people are, overall, quite happy with HOTS devs. Compared to the rest of their games, this one looks like it being developed by a different company.

Maybe i should give it another try? At the very beginning it didn't seem to be interesting to me after playing lol and a bit of dota2
But yeah in general i am really disappointed with blizzard. For all the love OW gets i simply cannot see why. Their take on ctf is horrible, i cannot see how it took them so long to release such a bad version of it.

It's simple, if you want to be able to make the difference all by yourself(aka farm until you can crush almost whole enemy team alone) then this is not a game for you. But since beginning they have changed the game a lot, and it is better and better after each patch with tons of stuff, easy way to grind gold, heroes are quite diverse and updated frequently, new heroes are quite more complex by design than older heroes and each of older heroes is getting reworked(most of them are already reworked).

So, you should give it a try if you like a non-farming type of game where you focus on the objectives and team fighting more.

We currently plan on the first War Chest to be made available in Q3 of this year. A portion of proceeds from that War Chest season will go toward increasing the prize pool for the 2017 WCS Global Finals over the base prize pool of $500,000.


We Dota 2 now!! :D
Good signs though keep improving the game Blizzard

A bit more and they could have announced it at next Blizzcon instead!

Too bad, I was looking forward to this in hope it could increase seasonal tournaments, not only the final.

Pretty disappointed that this is coming on Q3, I hope the quality of what we get is worth the wait.

I appreciate the efforts but I am really doubtful about skins being the way to draw more players to the game. Let's see how this plays out.

Well i like to have some control myself, which is why i like starcraft so much (and prefer csgo to other team games because you have a bigger impact there as well).
So it's probably still not for me. But yeah at the beginning heroes felt kinda boring and even though there was a lot of teamfighting it never felt all that tense or exciting imo. Good that they improved that aspect!

Maybe that's just the start of the first one, and from that point on it will be like you described.

It feels more like an effort to retain existing players through the War Chest's progression system, monetary/time investment into getting the cosmetics, and crowdfunding for the WCS prizepool.

One way it could draw new players is to tie ladder access to its purchase.
