The annual BlizzCon event is a massive concoction of all things Blizzard set in the sunny surroundings of Anaheim, California. This year over 10,000 fans of the Starcraft and Warcraft universes will be in attendance of the largest yet.

However, this venue plays host to not only fans looking for sneak peaks at the latest Diablo III and StarCraft II details, but high calibur tournaments featuring competitors that either were invited by Blizzard, or qualified through a regional tournament in their native countries.

Depending on which continent you live on, the spotlight tournament could be any of the three below. StarCraft features a Korean heavy invite only eight player field. WarCraft III is giving out $25,000 in prize money and includes EG's legendary Orc player, Manuel "GRUBBY" Schenkhuizen. World of Warcraft sees qualifiers from across the globe playing in one of the most competitive groups of teams to see a bracket.

The entire event will be shown live on pay-per-view DirecTV and pay-per-view internet video stream. You can find more information about viewing the event here. Stay tuned to GotFrag for full live coverage from the event with live scores, photo galleries, interviews, blogs and much more!
