#Blizzard förgyller aftonen för #Starcraft II-betatestare genom att förse spelet med en rejäl uppdatering. Nytt innehåll utgör de största nyheterna, exempelvis den baneditor vi nämnde i går, men de slänger även med achievements, en 1v1-bana, de närmast obligatoriska balansändringarna och ett par buggfixar.
