by shadowie

Updates from the main stage (CEST):

10:25 - People are getting seated, there are A LOT of seats ;). The reserved spots in the front for Blizzard employees are till empty, so might take some time until it starts.

11:12 - Blizzard employees are taking their seats. The filmcrew have started to walk around with their cameras, not long now.

11:15 - Announcer just said the opening cermony will start in 30 minutes.

11:30 - 15 minutes to go, almost all Blizzard employees are now seated, including Karune.

11:35 - Announcer says 5 minutes to go.

11:42 - Here we go, won't be able to update for a bit now, Blizzard's live stream should be live :)

Greetings SC2Pod from Hong Kong : ) Just signed up to thank shadowie for the updates

I woke up about 4 hours ago thinking the WWI presentations had started - I misunderstood it for the open of the gates ><

It's roughly 5:07pm here - I'm waiting for the live stream to start, but I'll be depending on this site! :-)
