Already had my money put aside weeks after the last Blizzcon.. I knew I was going over a year ago-- I was starting to worry since they hadn't released any details and they had canceled a Blizzcon before.
Anyone else looking forward to seeing JD break through and hopefullying capture a win at Blizzcon!
BlizzCon wasn't cancelled before imo. BlizzCon 2012 was never announced, they actually stated there won't be a BlizzCon early 2012, it was replaced by Battle.Net World Championship in China.
Sorry but according to every wiki source and the official Blizzcon website : Blizzcon is an annual event--thus if they don't have one it would mean it was canceled for that year.
"In light of our jam-packed schedule, we've decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013."
"We didn't have a BlizzCon in 2006 either, and at that time we were really strong on the idea that BlizzCon isn't really supposed to be and doesn't have to be an annual event. Of course then we have it for five straight years in a row... which obviously built some expectation."
I'm expecting the final player list to be disappointing. The Season Finals gave out a HUGE amount of points and taking them away removes a lot of the points from WCS Korea players.

I agree that this change in the structure of WCS will dilute the player pool for the Global Finals. Still excited, though.
If anyone is interested in sharing hotel room space I got reservations at the Desert Palms (>1 block from the convention center) send me a PM if interested.
My 3 man group is arriving at 8pm local the night of Blizzcon (thurs) if anyone needs a ride to form the airport to the convention center or Desert Palms hotel feel free to PM for arrangements.
We will be making a quick(>20min) detour to CoCo Ichibanya for dinner- you're welcome to eat with us, or we can just grab it to go.

Regardless they'll probably still show some of the WoW movie content there at Blizzcon.
The WCS standings are looking pretty good so far but I'd really like to see some more showing from players like Maru, Innovation, and PartinG as I feel like players like Dear and HerO are falling away from that top 16.
If anyone has an extra ticket, I can help it off your hands. I wasn't on game with buying one. I was sleeping for the full 4 minutes they were on sale.

How is it interesting? Didn't they have an invitational for it last time as well?

Hearthstone invitational was Artosis' chance to win Blizzcon, now it's Idra's turn.
