In the Heart of the Swarm leveling system, players earn experience while playing Blizzard matchmaking modes and custom games on Blizzard maps. You’ll earn XP for the race you’re playing with each unit you build or destroy. Experience is awarded at the end of the match, and accumulates as you level up from 1 to a maximum level of 20 for each race.

The Leveling system is how you will earn most portraits and decals in Heart of the Swarm. We’re creating a multitude of new images for players to collect and display. Your cumulative (Protoss+Terran+Zerg) level will also be displayed right next to your player portrait, so others will be able to easily see how far you’ve gone in mastering the races of StarCraft II.

Bringing an element that makes MMOs so addictive into Starcraft. I love it! It's going to be a good way to engage casual players and make them play the game more. Progress. There is always going to be some of it, even if you lose. I also like the special bonuses. And "Copy Profile"? I wonder what that is. I hope they bring back battle.net profiles soon.
