Blizzard has announced their 2012 Battle.net World Championship, a major global eSports event featuring some of the best pro-gaming competition in the world. Slated to take place in Asia toward the end of 2012, the Battle.net World Championship will host this year’s StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Arena World Championship tournaments.
When talking about how excited they were to be holding this event they also let everyone know that they will be focusing heavily on getting their newest expansions out for World of Warcraft (Mists of Pandaria) and StarCraft II (Heart of the Swarm). As well as getting the much overdue Diablo III onto store shelves.
We’re excited to be showcasing Blizzard eSports on a truly global stage this year. We’re also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players’ hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013.
With the recent delay on Diablo III, this should put some hardcore fanboys at ease to know that they are more focused on releasing the title than throwing events for the title, and with the announcement that a console version is definitely in development I can hold off a little longer to get my hands on this title.
