We are pleased to announce that this year, for the first time, all of our streaming tournament coverage for BlizzCon will be available in both high-resolution and low-resolution formats, and you can choose whichever fits your available bandwidth. The BlizzCon website (
http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon/tournaments) will host one stream featuring StarCraft and Warcraft III events and another dedicated to World of Warcraft. As in previous years, all of this streaming tournament coverage will be provided free of charge. Be sure to tune in to find out which teams and players are the best in the world by visiting the BlizzCon site on August 21 and 22.
To clarify, the tournament coverage streams are free, but to watch panels, see new announcements as they are made, or receive the in-game pet, you will need to order the Pay Per View Internet stream (
http://blizzcon.rayv.com/).
Trying to tackle 8 computers at once on a money map... it's fucking hard.
Quite excited for the live streaming though, perhaps they'll get the top players of each race from Korea, and get them to duke it out on SC2 ?
I'd love to see that happen, would be one of the best ways to showcase the game, and to even get some balancing issues down.
