2018 has been an epic year for Overwatch—we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at BlizzCon later this year. Before we get there, however, we have a special gift for every BlizzCon ticket and Virtual Ticket holder: the new Legendary Demon Hunter Sombra skin for Overwatch, available in-game now!

A master of stealthy warfare, the Demon Hunter has vaulted into Overwatch from Sanctuary to continue her fight against evil. Camouflage yourself and strike from the shadows in style as only the nephalem can.

We’ll have more exciting in-game rewards to tell you about for other Blizzard games in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

We on the StarCraft II team have always been grateful for the intense passion and support we receive from all of you in the community. We’re fortunate to serve a group of amazing players, many of whom have continued to play our game for eight years running. As many of you know, John “TotalBiscuit” Bain was one of StarCraft II’s strongest supporters. He and his wife Genna were early advocates for the game, and they created and managed the StarCraft II professional team Axiom. Their shared passion for StarCraft II and the StarCraft II community resulted in the organization of major professional tournaments, including World Championship Series events and SHOUTcraft Kings, along with countless talk show episodes and appearances dedicated to the game.

In appreciation for the contributions the Bain family have made to StarCraft II, we’ve created a collection of commemorative cosmetics for the game. 100% of the funds received from the sale of these items will go directly to Genna...

Last month we traveled to Incheon, where the home team of South Korea and Finland emerged as the first two representatives in the Overwatch World Cup Top 8. Now, after a wild All-Star Weekend, we land at Blizzard Arena Los Angeles for the second Group Stage.

Two things are certain this weekend at WCS Montreal: Serral will, as he has all year, turn the event into a race for second place; and, the drama will grow every hour and after every result as more than a dozen players fight to secure the WCS points they’ll need to claim one of the six remaining spots at the WCS Global Finals. We’ll have more on the complexity of the situation in the WCS Circuit region later this week.

Serral’s dominance and remarkable haul of WCS points this season has literally left other Circuit players fighting for his leftovers. In winning every Circuit event in 2018, the Finnish superstar has taken so many points “out” of the system that he’s inflated the value of the points themselves and forced the logjam around the cutoff line to finish in the top eight. It’s rare to have an event at the scale of WCS Montreal where so many matches will have such significant ripple effects on the rest of the tournament and the season. Buckle up.

The KSL Season 2 sponsored by K-STAR GROUP (hereinafter “KSL”) will start from Sep 17, accepting submissions for the league participation. The KSL Season 2 starts right after the finale of Season 1 Final that will take place on Sep 8 so we can maintain the heat of the passion from Season 1. It will also be held in the form of an open tournament, which means anyone can participate as a player! One thing to keep in mind is that you need to be able to follow the league schedule of Offline Qualifier that will take place in Seoul starting from Sep 30.

Since the top four players in Season 1 will get seeds for the Round of 16 in Season 2, Yoon Jong Jung, Jae Dong Lee, Min Chul Kim, and Sung Hyun Kim will automatically advance to the Round of 16 without going through the hassle of Season 2 Qualifier.

The remaining 12 players will be the ones who make it through Offline Qualifier, and together with the above four players, the total of 16 players will fierc...

The long-waited KSL Season 1 Final will be held on Saturday, Sep 8 at 4:30 pm in Yes24 Live Hall. For those who want to watch in person, location and ticket information can be found below.

The top four finishers from the first season of KSL will automatically be seeded into the Round of 16 for Season 2. This means fans can see favorites like Yoon Jong Jung, Jae Dong Lee, Min Chul Kim, and Sung Hyun Kim in the next season without watching them sweat through the qualifying process

The remaining 12 players will be determined by the Season 2 Offline Qualifier. From there, it’ll be a ferocious fight to the finish for the second KSL championship.

If you’ve been following our recent announcements, you’re probably excited to finally get your hands on the portable version of Diablo III coming to the Nintendo Switch!

For those attending PAX West in Seattle this summer, you’ll soon get your chance to try it out before it’s released—and even stretch your goblin chasing gams along the way. Read on for the details.

Hunt a Treasure Goblin for Epic Loot

If you’ve ever wished that Diablo’s Treasure Goblins existed in real life, we have good news! We’re bringing a Treasure Goblin to PAX West and setting him loose near the convention center.

For players who enjoy controlling powerful hero units on the battlefield, our newest Co-op Commander Tychus Findlay more than fits the bill.

Playstyle

Tychus controls a group of Outlaws that you recruit from Joey Ray’s Bar. In addition to Tychus, you can recruit four additional unique Outlaws from a total selection of eight. Who you choose to recruit should depend on the mission at hand—the map you’re playing on, the enemy unit composition, active mutators, and your ally’s Commander choice.

Since you don’t need to devote much time to building up your army, you can focus instead on controlling your relatively small, but no less deadly squad. Each of your Outlaws has one primary active ability, and to help you manage your army, you’ll be able to use all these abilities from a single command card whenever you select the Outlaws together.

In addition, you can upgrade your Outlaws’ gear from various facilities, like the Guns’ Hideout, the Muscle Ar...

That’s right—the Grand Finals confetti has barely been brushed away from Barclays Center, and we’re about to launch into our next major tournament: the 2018 Overwatch World Cup. Over the next month, you’ll be able to witness 41 Overwatch League players and 78 up-and-coming Contenders players mixed in with ladder heroes looking to make their mark as they battle on behalf of their nations.

First, we’ll be traveling to the city of Incheon, South Korea. Located just outside of Seoul, this metropolitan city is a hub of entertainment, art, and history, and will be where the home team of South Korea will host the national teams from Russia, Finland, Japan, Chinese Taipei, and Hong Kong in the first of four Group Stage events.
