Blizzard recently announced that at this years Blizzcon there will be several community tournaments.
These include a StarCraft II tournament. This will provide not only a brilliant opportunity for community members to test their micro against the best in a new environment, it will also allow us all to see StarCraft II in its natural place as an e-sport. This will be helpful for both fans and developers alike, allowing them to see for the first time how new players deal with the game in a competitive situation.
Also announced were the tournament brackets for StarCraft and other games. As usual, tournaments will be in the double elimination fashion, and should take place over both days of the event. Particular interest will most likely be placed on the non-Korean participants, particularly IdrA. Can they end the complete Korean dominance of professional StarCraft?
