Official War Chest Page
Visual Guide Source

The War Chest will be yours to claim on July 19. You can purchase each of the individual race passes for $9.99 or own the entire collection for $24.99.


UNLOCK INTERGALACTIC TREASURE

War Chest: BlizzCon 2017 introduces more than 70 new items (spread across three phases), including sprays, emoticons, exclusive portraits, and StarCraft II’s first army-wide skins, all for a steeply discounted price.

Each War Chest begins with a single unit skin and an exclusive portrait. Additional skins are divided into three phases, and can be unlocked by playing Multiplayer or Co-op matches during or after the corresponding phase, until by the end of the challenge you have a full set. Your initial purchase also grants awesome rewards in other Blizzard titles.

SUPPORT STARCRAFT II ESPORTS

25% of all War Chest purchases go directly to StarCraft II esports. The first $200K will be added to the $500K BlizzCon 2017 prize pool, with any surplus contributing to StarCraft II event production.

They finally did it, they made the Dota2 compendium for SC2, fantastic!
The Protoss (Tal'darim set, no?) set looks amazing.

I am not even a SC2 player, I am a Dota2 gamer that is playing some SC2 now and then and even I will purchase the WC to support Sc2.

I'm kind of worrying about the readability of some of the new skins.

repost from the other thread, but 25%... really? only 25%?
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Not really a outlier, Valve also put 25% of The International compendium sales into prize pool.

It's a good start for sure but i would have hoped there is some content in there which gives you the motivation to buy it even if you don't care about skins at all. Some mini missions or quests, maybe an announcer, something which is related to the tournament the warchest is for (a nice presentation of all the players with some trivia, maybe a fantasy league, things like that)

I think it's already a good product, but it definitely can be expanded upon.

why not make the game fun again instead off putting the effort into more skins...

never heard of "war chest". You can see/use them in 1v1 ladder games?

You should check how well Dota2 does it with Compendium, this year it's gone from 1.6 mill which valve puts in, to over 20 million dollars.....

So if Blizzard puts in 500 k for Blizzcon that might be millions.. get how much more interesting SC2 starts to look if there is actual money in the scene compared to .. well.. WCS Valencia 25k ..?

Support this, is my advice, if you really like SC2.

So if I want to contribute $5 to professional Starcraft players, I could buy all three of these for $25 or just donate $5 dollars directly to my favorite player. Guess I know why I'm Blizzard's worst customer.

People complaining about the price;

There are 15 dots per bundle, if we pretend there's exactly 1 skin per dot (there's sometimes more), you'd be getting 15 skins for one race over the season. Normally we paid $4.99 for one skin, but now you're paying $9.99 for 15. That's why they said "remarkably low" on the announcement video, you're getting way more for only double the price of one skin previously.

Ignoring the math, well you also become something for your money besides supporting the esports scene. If you don't care for any of the skins then that's fine ofc.
In general i think this is a very good concept though, the execution could still be better (see my other post) but it's a nice start

And because apparently they're scared of this bundle accidentally doing too well, there's a cap on the money actually going to players, with Blizzard putting everything else directly into its own pocket. I honestly don't know what to say. Another pathetic effort.

They cap out the blizzcon money, everything else goes to the esports scene in general. I think that's fine

Why have more people working on cosmetics than actually working on the game itself. Oh wait, it's because making the game better doesn't make Blizzard money, but cosmetics do.

I do not understand the cap either, that just makes no sense to me.

If people want to give, let them give, they're already getting 75% to improve the infrastructure and treatment of players anyway.
