Well, they probably skip this year Blizzcon simply because there will be no new annoncement this year and they don't want to do another Blizzcon on the exact same product. Wich mean they probably want D3/HoTS to be released in 2012 and want Blizzcon 2013 to hold an HotS tournament OR they want Blizzcon 2013 to hold the very first HotS tournament and will release it a couple of day/week before it.

What would 2012 would be about if there was one? D3/HotS/MoP... Hmm... sound like a deja vue.

Ugh, no BlizzCon...

This really sucks for people like me who go to the Con, as since this is in Asia I most certainly won't be able to afford to go to this in person. =\

THE RETURN OF STEPPES OF WAR


Steppes 2.0:

-All gold bases

-Destructible rocks at your natural and walling in your choke

-Invulnerable dragons picking off your workers at a rate of 1 per half-minute

-Tested and approved by David Kim, Dustin Browder, MVP, and SlayerS.

All matches will be played on Steppes of Terran.

This makes me really really sad I've gone to just about every blizzcon, missed 1 since they started. Part of why I loved blizzcon was being able to randomly interact with pros because they're walking around/enjoying the convention just like everyone else. I mean last year bumped into liquid tyler slasher and DRG all in the span of about 5 minutes, then went for a smoke and met Nestea and MVP.

On the plus side, this will hopefully give blizzard a chance to show that they've learned something from MLG IPL GSL NASL DH Asus RoG and all the other top tier tournaments out there. By that, I mean I really hope they use a different map pool than they did at last years con.

Hoping for the best, will still try to go.

This is mess.

We have:
World Cyber Games (1)
Electornic Sports World Cup (2)
GSL World Championship (3)
IEM World Championship (4)

and now Battle.net World Championship (5).

Not too many world-championship-type tournaments in the schedule?

I imagine Blizzard will manage to find a way to fuck this up but hopefully I'm wrong.

Except the GSL World Championships, which isn't happening this year (though we may get something similar), all these tournaments just feel like 'normal' tournaments rather than a 'world championship'.

Sounds good. Wish they'd stop doing WoW arenas though. Try RBGs competitively, please...

Cool that it's in Asia, it's now at a good time for me. Suck it Americans and your shitty 1am tournaments!

For clarification, they only pick off workers, not MULEs.


But I really really hope this goes good

WCG feels like World Championships with all these national qualifiers etc.

I believe that GOM stated that Super Tournament is not happening this year but they may make second GSL World Championships. Has something changed?
