It is illegal for me to not follow a tournament with IMMVP the Terran God especially as big event. * Blizzcon release replays <3 Start following, replays, videos, give me everything!*

As for the matches, seeing Zergs winning events lately I will not be surprised if it isn't MVP the winner but NesTea for instance, the former could end 2nd. That's my predictions - im surprised there isnt oGsMC but he's maybe lost to MVP and or NesTea during the quali. For Loner representing China.. I think the war3 Human God Infi would've been better choice even with the less practice he does in SC2.

This Blizzcon also will not include Warcraft 3 (I thought that time is also for WCG 2011, now I saw it is moved to December, usually it was in Sept-Oct it is said to include SC2 and AFAIR it will not include warcraft 3, the latter being down from some other big events as well which lead me to think war3 is on a one-way course to gg, those die hard war3 fanboys... you know, need to enter reality)

I'm in doubt, will anything of that «Project: Titan», or whatever they called that secret doings of theirs, be revealed during this BlizzCon?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Probably not, most likely the next WoW expansion, some diablo 3 stuff and HotS.

 

[Linaze]

Super excited for the Sc2 tournament. Cheering for foreigners in general and NaNiwa in particular.

Edit: Has casters been announced?

 

[Asomath]

Hey, are you allowed to take pictures and have your portable during BlizzCon? If you could upload a few pictures, we'd appreciate (and probably boost your rep hugely =P).

seeing what mapster posted I will show here, seems to be about that Goodie Bag whatever the conenction with Blizzcon. The one portrait I would care about is this:
CLASSIEFIED

Some rumor it would be a portrait of an expansion unit. For a seconder I thought it would be exactly as it is with text 'classified'.
