Pulled? Link doesn't work, and I don't see it under Digg's Gaming News section, unless I didn't page far enough. Or I'm just blind.

Like 20 people at my work are former Blizzard employees ;) ;) ;)

wonder what it will look like...wc3? so mysterious

but they usually dont' announce games without showing a video or at least images of the game or something..

i hope it's sc2. i loved that game and still play it here and there.

Wow. Starcraft and Diablo 2 are some of the only games i've ever gotten into. Along with The Sims and Rollercoaster Tycoon...

[quote8b5c0e4d24]Starcraft 2 will be announced to the public on May 19th at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitation (WWI).[/quote8b5c0e4d24]

Are they trying to suggest that playing at the invitational is similar to World War I?

I don't understand this part of the second article

MBC Game's Lee Sang-Ho head said "Frankly, it's half anticipation and half worry. If SC2 is released in a form that is compatible with e-sports broadcast, there will be many new gamers and the entire industry will develop. However if it comes out in a form that is not easy to broadcast, like WarCraft 3, StarCraft fans will focus on the sequel while the original league will suffer a decline", expressing a cautious mindset.

What is he talking about?

I think he means if they announce SC2 a lot earlier than the due date the game people will stop playing the original SC which doesn't seem true at all. If anything I would wait until its announced on www.battle.net or at the BlizzCon which is in August.

I saw this on Digg and I figured I might as well post it here ---
