Today begins the second season of StarCraft: Remastered! If you’ve played through Season 1, you’ll know what to expect.

You’ll have five placement matches that you’ll need to complete. After finishing these, you will be placed in a rank based on the following rank ranges.

These ranges will only apply to players who complete their placement matches within the first two weeks of the new season. Afterwards, we will move to a percentage-based system, similar to the one we used in Season 1.

We are also making a change to the placement algorithm which will now heavily favor your performance from the last season when deciding your rank for the current season.

A new season also means new rewards! The Archon is our featured unit for the season, and we’re also using Protoss themed portrait borders this time.

Kkuem is the artist who behind these adorable sprays. “Among all the projects I’ve been a part of, the D.Va emoji project was one of the most enjoyable for me to work on. It thrills me to see players use the emoji sprays to express themselves!”

Earlier this month we announced our post-Blizzcon design patch containing changes aimed at improving StarCraft II multiplayer. Around the same time, members of the balance team were in Montreal to solicit feedback from top players in the World Championship Series circuit. Based on the feedback we received from the community as well as pro players, we decided to expand the scope of our initial balance proposal. Below is a rundown.

  • Health/shields decreased from 200/200 to 150/150.

We’ve been monitoring proxy Shield Battery strategies over the last few months and while we don’t believe they’re unbeatable, we would like to make this strategy slightly more risky. Reducing their total health pool targets weakening offensive usage whi...
