I hope the avatars in bnet 2 will have animations, instead of being static images. that would be bomb.

Is there a girl on the far right of the screen?

What retards. They told us specifically not to take pictures or recordings of this.

By the way, it's just a simple layout as something to use in the meantime, before their full multiplayer setup is complete.

What I suspect is that it is an AVATAR and not just some rank picture system like WC3. Think about it in a more global option. Battle.net 2.0 is not just SC but it's own program. It would make sense that you could choose any avatar for it since it follows an account and not just a game.

Let's say you leveled up to Marine for your picture.. why would they associate that with your B.net account specifically and turn around and play Diablo 3. It's a theory that is.

Side note: If Dustin Browder did have an avatar, I'm sure we all agree that he'd choose that picture.

Yup, but you can always choose whatever you want from the avatars you've unlocked. I think it's pretty fun to unlock all avatars for example. And then they could add some avatars for tournaments (as they did in WC3) and of course avatars attached to achievements etc...
I think that would be pretty consistent with blizzards approach to fun tidbits (like mounts in wow or whatnot).

Thanks for the clarification Zero
