The long awaited free name change is now available by logging into the Account Management pages. Remember you can only change your name for free once and then you will be required to pay if you wish to change it again.
I feel that I should probably mention that, if anyone is unsatisfied with the name they select with their free character name change, that the onus is upon them to pay the required fee and take the necessary steps to correct it.
StarCraft II Custom Map Contest Winners
The winners of the Blizzcon custom map contest have been announced as:
- Benjamin Lagarhus - MAD
- Ivan Vidusenko - Zergling Round-Up
- Andreas Lundkvist - Photon Command
From the information gathered at Blizzcon this year, we believe these maps will be featured and playable in the near future.
Top 200
This weeks top 200 players are in for all 6 regions and NesTea is fighting for the Zerg, Terran are still looking strong but the overall representation of Zerg and Protoss is now neck and neck with only a 6 player difference.
This is the closest we've seen the global representation of all 3 races since the game was released.

Rank order
Recruit ->Private First Class-> Corporal -> Sergeant -> Staff Sergeant -> Platoon Sergeant -> Master Sergeant -> Second Lieutenant -> First Lieutenant -> Captain -> Major -> Lieutenant Major -> Colonel -> Brigadier General -> Major General -> Lieutenant General -> General
Every player who qualifies the preliminary rounds into the main tournament gets ranked.
If you qualify into the next round your rank gets promoted by one rank.
Only winning the finals gets you promoted by two ranks.
The rank is continued into following GSL seasons, so the players who qualified and played in Season 1 will start Season 2 with the rank that they were granted from their previous results.
To help you understand we will make FruitDealer as our example.
Rank of FruitDealer
- Season 1
- Ro64 – Starts as a Recruit
- Ro32 – Promoted to Private First Class
- Ro16 – Promoted to Corporal
- Ro8 – Promoted to Sergeant
- Ro4 – Promoted to Staff Sergeant
- Final – Promoted to Platoon Sergeant
- Wins Finals – Promoted to Second Lieutenant (Champion gets promoted by two ranks.)
- Season 2
- Ro64 – Starts as Second Lieutenant
- Ro32 – Promoted to First Lieutenant
* So FruitDealer who is in Ro32 is currently ranked as a First Lieutenant
We hope this post helps you understand the ranking process of the players.

Kerrigian, Queen of Blades
Whilst the variety of units people choose to dress up as is fairly small, there is still a great range in costumes as people try to bring our favourite characters to life.

Marines
It's amazing to see how many different styles of Marine can come from the StarCraft world, cloth, foam and cardboard are just a few of the materials that people choose.

If you liked number 3 then make sure you check out the I want to be a Marine! article from August.
Nova and the Ghosts
A common theme in StarCraft cosplay is Nova, Ghosts and Ghost like NPC's seem to be a regular choice for the female costume wearer.

Pick `n` Mix
There are many more costumes which have at one time or another been seen at a party, convention or just in the bedroom and these are the Pick `n` Mix outfits that we picked out.

Hopefully in the coming months we will start to see more StarCraft cosplay and an even better variety of costumes.
