BlizzCon Tourneys to be Streamed in Hi-, Low-Res

As we reported yesterday, Blizzard is planning to rebroadcast the BlizzCon Internet stream for those who purchase the service so it can be watched at their convenience. Well, there's more Internet streaming news. According to a post on the official World of Warcraft site, BlizzCon tournament coverage will be available on the BlizzCon site in both high-resolution and low-resolution formats for the first time. Oh, and the tourney coverage is free, so you can just pick hi-res or low-res and watch all the WoW, Warcraft III and StarCraft fights you want.

The full announcement can be found below.

We are pleased to announce that this year, for the first time, all of our streaming tournament coverage for BlizzCon will be available in both high-resolution and low-resolution formats, and you can choose whichever fits your available bandwidth. The BlizzCon website will host one stream featuring StarCraft and Warcraft III events and another dedicated to World of Warcraft. As in previous years, all of this streaming tournament coverage will be provided free of charge. Be sure to tune in to find out which teams and players are the best in the world by visiting the BlizzCon site on August 21 and 22.

To clarify, the tournament coverage streams are free, but to watch panels, see new announcements as they are made, or receive the in-game pet, you will need to order the Pay Per View Internet stream.
