Battle.net - Heart of the Swarm Balance Update -- April 9, 2015
The new StarCraft II season is on its way, bringing with it a free name change for every player. It has just been revealed that the name change will be available on April 10, and that all players should use their current name change (if they still have one) since name changes do not stack. For anyone looking to play under a different name for the upcoming season, this is a great opportunity to do just that.
The new season is set to start April 13.
