Blizzard is hosting another event after it's success with Blizzcon. The games featured will be StarCraft, WarCraft III, StarCraft Ghost and of course World of WarCraft.



The event starts at February 3rd and lasts until February 5th. The location will be in South Korea Seoul. It will feature some good news about StarCraft Ghost hopefully along with some World of Warcraft related materials. The third season of the WarCraft III ladder ended in December. Now the finalists will travel to Seoul to fight for the championship.

There will also be a StarCraft tournament. Blizzard has revealed little information about this so far, but it will likely be similar to the event at Blizzcon. GosuGamers have it on good authority however that there will be at least some new players. There was also a new patch released for StarCraft that together with this new event in Korea bring fresh winds to our 8 year old game.

StarCraft patch 1.13f
Fixed several bugs that contributed to game exploits.

We will have to wait and see who the invited players for the StarCraft tournament are.
