BlizzCon - Video Stream
blizzcon, starcraft, warcraft3
Blizzard has released the tournament brackets for Warcraft 3 and Starcraft that will take place from 10-11 October at Blizzcon in Anaheim, California. For the Warcraft 3 tournaments players had to play qualify through the battle.net ladder to then get invited to an invitational ladder and then finish in the top at the regional finals. Unlike the Warcraft 3 tournament, the BlizzCon StarCraft Invitational is an invite tournament. Blizzard has invited some of the top Starcraft players in the world to participate.
The tournaments will be played in a double elimination and best of 3 format.
(See below for the link to the video stream)
Warcraft 3 players:
Check- ReMinD
SaSe-
Lyn 
Lucifron
Kiwikaki
Sonkie
Happy
Update: Nilknarf will not be attending Blizzcon WC3 tournament despite qualifying. Blizzard has decided to replace him with Kiwikaki. Furthermore there are also changes in the Warcraft 3 Bracket. Check who was suppose to play against Lucifron will instead be playing against Kiwikaki. SaSe who was suppose to play against Nilknarf, who has now been replaced, will be playing against Lyn. Happy vs ReminD match remains and Sonkie instead of playing against Lyn still faces an Orc player, Lucifron.

blizzard has always failed to correctly observe the starcraft scene, both the foreign and the korean ones, and we see this here again. i mean come on, who the hell decides which pla
of course, some top class koreans may not have made it and they were replaced, but seriously, XellOs, YellOw, NaDa, JangBi? you've got to be kidding me. and Idra? they were always picking some of the weirdest pla i have no idea why they don't inspect the actual starcraft scene before taking such stupid decisions. god im so angry :@ I'll be nicer when you're smarter.

I'm actually quite happy that they have a lot of the old school progamers in the StarCraft tournament. It is probably also a lot easier to get these people since the contacts have already been made and they are already familiar with BlizzCon. Plus, it is not easy to get something like this set up considering visa issues, timing among other tournaments esp among the Korean progamers, availabilities esp for people with work and school (BlizzCon is on a Friday, mind you), etc. I'm sure Blizzard did as best they could with the choices they made. I am sad that Nal_Ra didn't make the cut but I will be rooting for Savior this time. Although it would be weird considering all those years I have rooted for Yellow...
