Blizzard Entertainment® Announces 2007 Worldwide Invitational

IRVINE, Calif. – March 7, 2007 – Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans to hold its third Worldwide Invitational in Seoul, South Korea on May 19 and 20. The Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals are public events that allow the company to connect with gamers in a celebration of the Warcraft®, Diablo®, and StarCraft® game universes and competitive Blizzard Entertainment® gaming. This year’s Blizzard Worldwide Invitational will be held at the Olympic Gymnastics and Fencing Stadiums in Seoul.

The event will be open to gamers of all ages and feature a number of exciting e-sports tournaments, including the regional finals for both Warcraft III Battle.net® Season 5 and the first season of World of Warcraft®'s Arena Tournament. Invitational StarCraft and Warcraft III tournaments will also pit some of Korea's finest players against tough international challengers.

"With a wide variety of themed activities and competitions to participate in, the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals are a great way for us to show our appreciation to our players," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're looking forward to creating another memorable show for them this year as well."

Outside of the e-sports realm, unique panel discussions will be held by Blizzard developers on various topics, and several hands-on attractions will add to the fun. Further details on the 2007 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational will be released in the weeks ahead.

*crosses fingers*

This is where they come out and say Diablo 3 is 75% done and we get some screen shots and vids, right?

**Maddux** · 7th March 2007, 06:39 PM

Diablo 3 is already out... it's called "World of Warcraft"

Not only do they give out press releases, its an opportunity to compete, and I already have my passport. It's just a matter of getting past those Slave Masters at work.

This is so true it's not even funny.

Well, maybe a little funny. But kinda in a "fake laugh" sort of way.
