2015 was a great year for the Arcade: we added thousands of new goodies for mapmakers to utilize with the addition of the Warcraft III assets, we updated the Arcade UI to give open lobbies more attention, we made it easier for people to join with the addition of ‘lobby linking’ in chat, and we hosted our second Arcade contest: Rock the Cabinet. What better way to kick off 2016 than with some amazing games—including the awe-inspiring selection of Arcade games we are announcing today. With no further ado, here are the winners of Rock the Cabinet 2015.
Congratulations to our winners and a final thank you to everyone who participated this year. As we predicted, the entries we received blew us away with their game design and technical achievement. Here is our full breakdown of prizes and positions for this year.

In addition, we’d like to announce the recipients of our ‘honorable mention’ awards. We wanted to recognize as many of the mod makers as possible, and these are the games we felt stood out in a particular category.
The creators of these games will each receive a $100 Battle.net gift card, which they can use to purchase digital copies of Blizzard games or in-game content, including the upcoming Nova Covert Ops Mission Bundle, Heroes of the Storm skins, or oodles of Hearthstone card packs. Congratulations!
It’s been a great ride and we’re really proud of everything the StarCraft II modding community has made. We’ll see you in the Arcade!
