Blizzard recently announced that the online
tournament streams, provided every year at BlizzCon for free, will this year be available in both high quality and low quality formats:
We are pleased to announce that this year, for the first time, all of our streaming tournament coverage for BlizzCon will be available in both high-resolution and low-resolution formats, and you can choose whichever fits your available bandwidth. The BlizzCon website (http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon/tournaments) will host one stream featuring StarCraft and Warcraft III events and another dedicated to World of Warcraft. As in previous years, all of this streaming tournament coverage will be provided free of charge. Be sure to tune in to find out which teams and players are the best in the world by visiting the BlizzCon site on August 21 and 22.
To clarify, the tournament coverage streams are free, but to watch panels, see new announcements as they are made, or receive the in-game pet, you will need to order the Pay Per View Internet stream (http://blizzcon.rayv.com/).
The World of WarCraft and WarCraft III brackets have already been announced with the StarCraft brackets presumedly waiting for the conclusion of the GOMTV tournament, the first, second and third place players being invited to BlizzCon.
