War Chest Details to be Announced at WCS Valencia Saturday
by JR Cook - 7 years ago show comments
The last time we heard anything from Blizzard about the War Chest idea was at BlizzCon 2016. The idea behind the War Chest is that each season you can buy it and it’s basically a bundle of skins, emoticons, etc. in StarCraft 2 (not random items like loot chests) that you can purchase and unlock over the course of the season.
The best part being is that the money used from buying these bundles will be used to help StarCraft 2 global events like WCS. So it’s a way to have the consumer and esports enthusiasts help support WCS and allow them to do more in the future with the extra funding.
However, since BlizzCon we haven’t heard much more about the War Chest, and what we did hear at BlizzCon was just that short little blurb telling us it will be a thing. This Saturday however, we will be learning all of the details surrounding War Chests at the WCS Valencia. The announcement will happen around 11 AM PDT after the semifinals have been played.
