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.
Looks exciting, will be interesting to see whether they can pull it off better than the previous events they have held. It will also delay Blizzcon, so they will be much more focused on the games themselves as opposed to things like panels, and hype for upcoming games, like they did at previous Blizzcons.

I hope this is more like wcg with each country getting represented and a HUGE bracket

The fact that "Battle.net" is still in the title of the tourney doesn't really give me good hope for the map pool  .
But yeah, if it's going to be a dedicated esports event, they better do it right.

My thoughts too. Hopefully they will go all-in with it. OSL final style!
|
gonna be cool hopefully it does better than blizzcon
|
Call me a pessimist, but this more like a "sorry for not having Blizzcon" tournament than a "let's kick some ass" tournament.
|
regional qualifiers or invites ? :C
|
oh wow, no blizzcon 2012, hopefully that means D3 and HotS sometime in 2012!

I'll believe it when I hold em

I hope this means d3 sometime soon.
Hots would also be nice =D
|
Didn't they say we'll see a better version of hots at the next blizzcon T.T Inb4 hots 2014...
Ah well still cool I guess, hope the battle.net in the title doesn't lead to shitty ladder maps again.
|
hopefully this will be a good tournament, hopefully the map pool will be better than the ladder pool though (or even better they make the ladder pool better then use the new pool) but other than that i think that this will be a good tournament...hopefully.
