Since the launch of StarCraft II in 2010, we’ve seen countless encounters waged across a diverse landscape of battlefields. From exciting games on the StarCraft II ladder, to grand tournament ceremonies crowning the greatest players in world, StarCraft II has been full of epic experiences.

And through all of these experiences, passionate members of this community have endeavored on an endless number of projects which have supported StarCraft II. We felt it was time to do our part to help recognize these individuals in-game.

For that reason, we’ve created the StarCraft II “Community Commander” portrait. This portrait will allow us to recognize those who make impressive contributions to StarCraft II through their involvement in community driven events and activities.

While full details on how and when you can obtain this portrait will come at a later date, we’re happy to say that finalists from the current Team Liquid Map Contest will be among the first to recieve this portrait when it becomes available. In the months that follow, we’ll continue to award epic community members with portraits to reflect their much appreciated actions outside of the game. Keep an eye on community events around the world and you may find a great opportunity to be recognized for your contributions!

Thank you commanders!
