Blizzard just announced that there won't be any Blizzcon in 2012, but tournaments will happen as planned during the Battle.net World Championship.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Blizzard Entertainment is proud to announce the 2012 Battle.net World Championship, a major global eSports event featuring some of the best pro-gaming competition in the world. Slated to take place in Asia toward the end of 2012, the Battle.net World Championship will host this year’s StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Arena World Championship tournaments. Blizzard gamers and eSports fans from around the world will be invited to attend and witness some of the most skilled pro players on the planet battle it out for cash and glory.
We’re excited to be showcasing Blizzard eSports on a truly global stage this year. We're also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players’ hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013.
More details about the 2012 Battle.net World Championship and BlizzCon 2013, including specific dates and locations, will be coming in the months ahead.
IAH if they think it will help them get their games out sooner it's all good =D
That is all
Probably hear Titan information at that blizzcon though.
'Tis a shame. I love watching and reading about the stuff that comes out of Blizzcon, but if not holding one this year really will help them out with their schedule for releasing the upcoming games... /crossfingers
Best news yet. I'm all for Blizz-Con, but getting D3 into our grubby hands is a priority (for me anyway)
?
Blizzcon is where developers get their chance to present what they've been working on and get valuable feedbacks from the community. It's just a shame they have decided to cancel it.
Metzen said during the Blizzcon 2010: "We didn't have any new release to announce but, you know, the community needs it."
Truly disappointing. Rest in peace.
