- If you are wondering, I contacted my XFire liaison around noon. No response as of 3pm.
- Also one of my Blizzard liaisons. Blizzard has not made any press releases concerning a Game Announcement.
Original Story
XFire either accidentally posted there would be a Game Announcement based on the rumors sprung from DiabloFans.com and Blizzplanet, or they know something and oops ... slipped it. Did XFire confirm there will be a game announcement?
As usual, I will communicate with my XFire and Blizzard contacts for a comment to clarify this new rumor. Stay tuned for updates.
At this point, this is still considered a rumor -- keep that in mind. Blizzard has not made any official announcements concerning a a game announcement at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals.
This is what appears at the XFire website:
Thanks, IG_The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, to be held in Paris on June 28th & 29th is sold out! If you can't attend, Xfire will be on the showfloor, bringing the event straight to your computer!

I got a 403 - Forbidden error.
Yesterday it was a dead link, today it's Forbidden...?
Edit: Did a whois on the site, and the domain is owned by Blizzard..
We're not alone.
The truth is out there...
lol
I got the same thing.. but I kinda just ignored it til I saw your post.
I kinda figured I wasn't the only one so I didn't post anything about it.
1. Blizzard hasn't redirected it to their own page.
2. We haven't heard any word on the matter from Mockery.
www.diablo3.eu goes to forbidden server
the .eu might have been an earlier aquisition by blizzard. idk just stating the facts.
@ the press release. That date cant come quicker.
Ditto that ditto >=C
Why'd they have to announce it so long from now? It's hard to stay excited for this long. =/
What makes tomorrow special?
Blizzard has never had a worldwide invitational outside of Korea...Interesting...Blizzard has never announced a Diablo title outside of Europe...Intersting
