GGL's Blizzard World-Wide Invitational Coverage

The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational will be held on Olympic Park in Seoul, Korea on May 19th to 20th. This international event includes four tournaments of most popular Blizzard games: Starcraft, Warcraft 3 (Invitational, Ladder Season 5) and World of Warcraft Arena. And Blizzard’s new game will be announced!

All foreign players are invited to duke it out with Korean counterparts according to recent results. And most of the Korean players are invited, too. Invites were decided by the Warcraft 3: Ladder season 5 tournament, so there will undoubtedly be interesting showdowns.

GGL Korea will be sending our technicians and staff to the venue right on time! You will be able to watch enormous amounts of media at once.

You can find the schedule of this event below. All times are Seoul Time (GMT +9).

IT BEGINS!

SkinkHero · 05-19-2007, 05:35 AM

Bah...I can't reach GGL at all. Somekind of timeout.

Would be cool if it's Starcraft 2, but it could be a totally unrelated project to anything in the past.

3:09 - controlling protoss zealots - still has psi blades and personal shield - new charge ability that let him quickly close range on enemies. Siege tanks shown - still the same type of behavior where they can lock down - take out zealots really quickly - new protoss unit - called immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.

3:07 - Showing gameplay footage - Looks like protoss ships - floating over asteroid/ base structure - entering protoss ase - similar looking buildings - vespene gas still in the game - character pane shows up on right side - some protoss guy - shifts to terran bases floating on rockets over same type of territory - sill collecting crystals as resources - marines load out. Dustin is actually playing the game - nothing in the game is final.

3:05 - Morheim says everyone eager to see actual game - going to show actual gameplay - bringing up SC2 lead designer. Dustin Browder.

It's SC2 all you did was have to read.

3:16 - showing space platform environment, land mass floating over planets / nebulae. Showing phoenix units failing to destroy terran battle cruisers - new protoss unit - Warprey - flying unit that does increased damage the longer it hits a target with it's continuous blue laser.

3:15 - Zerglings can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions. Colossus using new IK system to move across differences in terraing height. Colossus extremley weak against air strike - New unit for protoss - Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.

3:14 - Protoss colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings.

3:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming in, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.
