What is a cheerful?
Signs created by fans held at live events to cheer on their favourite player.
Think of "WE LOVE XXX" placards at rock concerts. And since this is eSports, its now much cooler.

Going for the random luck key, cause thinking is too hard!

Edit: Obligatory "first!"

[inFeZa]

see you in beta!

Have fun raging at inbalanced shit. right now protoss is apparently on the upper end of that, but only mothership core feels strong right now.

For the comment below:
Yeah warhound nerf removed mech play alltogether. They need to add something else so we can see the mech option again coz bio is gay.

Quick Comments

	x5_Namakaye:	From what I've seen, the warhound being removed should fix a lot of protoss and zergs QQ haha
	FSDele:	I think it was only Toss complaining about the warhound. Zerg didn't have mech to worry about it.

[Trinion]

Oh man, this is awesome!
Entered contest 3, and gonna try out for contest 1. I am terrible at Photoshop, so this is a good incentive to learn!

[FSDarkNemesis]

Entered No. 3. Doing no. 1 now.

[FSDarkNemesis]

Here's my No. 2, My art definitely sucked.... least I still tried.....I'm more a professional Musician (Double Licentiates even in Piano for Recital ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall, plus one more Diploma in Music and Audio Tech.... sheesh) than a graphical designer....

Can tell, I'm actually kinda desperate for my very first Blizzard CBT game.



Cheers.

Spent almost 3 hours making this and had so much fun I have never made anything before with photoshop so I basically had to learn everything from youtube
But, +1 for effort surely? :P

Hope you enjoy!

Edit: In case you are wondering, "Taran Varad" means "Your name be honoured" in Khalani (Protoss language).
