WWI 2008
This coming weekend, on June 28th and 29th, Paris, France will be home of yet another edition of the Blizzard World Wide Invitational which has been sold out for weeks already - of course! Emotions are bound to run high during to this event, and everyone will have a chance to see some of the best players in the world in action on a number of different Blizzard games, like Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, StarCraft: BroodWar and World of WarCraft Arena.
In general the WWI was supposed to be 'just' an invite torunament to celebrate Blizzard top games. But only having an eSports tournament would be boring and Blizzard wouldn't be Blizzard if they didn't care about their millions of fans and causual players all over the world. So it is a common thing that the WWI is used to present current development updates on Blizzard games and giving fans the chance to get in contact with the developers.
Due to that the WWI and BlizzCon have a couple things in common and only the venue of the event is different. While the BlizzCon takes always place in Anaheim, California next to the Blizzard Headquarters, the WWI moved after two stops in Korea to Paris where the European office is located.
The following activities are on the schedule next to press conferences:
• Discussion panels with Blizzard developers
• Artist and developer signings
• eSport tournaments
• Costume, machinima, and character sound-alike contests with great prizes
• Commemorative merchandise and other products based on the Blizzard franchises
• A silent auction
• Live orchestral performances of music from Blizzard games
• StarCraft II testing session and 2n2 community tournament
• Wrath of the Lich Kind testing session
• And more...
If you didn't have the chance to get an entrance ticket, don't worry, since myMYM.com will report live from the event with the following journalists - expect a full video coverage from Paris:
