While you’ve been out playing pirate on the shores of Zuldazar and dancing through the fields of Drustvar picking flowers, the Brawler’s Guild has been hard at work training up their fighters and finding new contenders for you to face. But are you going to be ready to take them on after all of that downtime you’ve had vacationing in the islands?

We sat down with Senior 3D Animator Ian Lang and 3D Artist Kenny McBride to discuss the wizardry behind World of Warcraft’s art development and animation.

Building a Conquest lineup can be challenging. It’s not as easy as just bringing what you’ve found success with in ranked. Because you must win once with each of your decks, and each player bans one deck before a match, a different strategy is required. Get the details on how to prepare a solid deck lineup for Conquest in our latest episode of Well Played.

Conquest is a punishing format for minor mistakes, because a loss isn’t just a loss. It means you must play the same deck again and again. Before you try your hand at Conquest, give some thought to what you’re bringing to the table and how it might stack up after bans have been settled.

For the first time ever in StarCraft II we’re teaming up with Twitch Prime to bring you some special loot to enhance your experience, including announcer and co-op commander Commander packs as well as all-new console skins, portraits, race banners, sprays, emoticons, and more!

We also made more Ranked ladder improvements, most recently to adjust Ranked Play and reduce the number of stars required to advance in many of the ranks. This ...
