Blizzard have had a darn good year for StarCraft II esports in 2015, and they’re pretty happy with the results. But everyone knows you don’t stand still when the going’s good, so the developer are implementing a bunch of changes in 2016 to make the World Championship Series even bigger and better.
Catch up on the latest changes to StarCraft II with our Legacy of the Void review.
The most notable change is the prize pool: that giant jug of money everyone’s fighting each other for. In 2016 it’ll be over $2 million deep, significantly up from 2015’s $1.6 million. The winners from the WCS Global Finals will be grabbing a cool $500,000.
