Overwatch's D.Va Is Coming To StarCraft II As A Caster
If you're attending BlizzCon or hold a virtual ticket for the event, you'll be able to use a new D.Va portrait and announcer pack in StarCraft II.
The goodies will be rolled out with StarCraft II Patch 3.7, which includes new multiplayer announcer packs for Abathur, Raynor, Artanis, Kerrigan, Swann, and Alarak as in-game rewards. The D.Va announcer will be available for purchase at a later date, but her portrait is exclusive to BlizzCon-goers and Virtual Ticket holders.
According to her official StarCraft World Championships Series profile, D.Va began her career as a professional StarCraft eSports player at 16, but has since "taken a step back" from championship play so she can focus on defending her country in Overwatch.
BlizzCon will be held Nov. 4 and 5.

Our Take:
As a former championship-level pro player on the Korean servers, D.Va is more than qualified to cast StarCraft II matches. Having her tell you to raise your APM might get a bit old after a while, though.
