With that in mind, we've tried to design the Skirmish rewards system in as free-form a way as possible, allowing players to play the content they want and receive mostly equivalent rewards.

This brings up another point. You are only entering your characters in these drawings -- the items won are in-game items only, and the rewards will vary. The rewards will cheap sc2 cdkey be issued through in-game mail, and their contents may be determined by a number of variables, including the winning character's class, level, race, etc.

The lottery is still in beta, and in order to give the system a spin the first drawing will be for a bundle of fireworks and an appropriate amount of silver commensurate with the winning character's level.
