With the BlizzCon 2019 announcement now out in the world, we wanted to give a few more details about the StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS) Global Finals!  

BlizzCon Opening Week

Opening Week, as usual, will see the Top 8 point-earners from both the WCS Circuit and WCS Korea fight it out to make the overall WCS Top 8. We will share more regarding the epic finale of WCS 2019 soon, but wanted to let fans know that this year StarCraft II’s Opening Week will not take place at Blizzard Arena. This year, Opening Week will be hosted somewhere quite different. Keep an eye on @esportstarcraft for updates—we think it’s very exciting and can’t wait to share it with you!

BlizzCon in Anaheim, California

The WCS Top 8 is back in the Arena for BlizzCon 2019! The Top 8 will be played out in its entirety on day one of BlizzCon, including the WCS Global Finals.

Last year, the WCS Global Finals concluded in historic fashion with Joona “Serral” Sotala’s win, an unforgettable moment for everyone who witnessed, whether in-person or online. With all the up-and-coming young talent mixed with seasoned veterans in 2019, we know the conclusion of this year’s chapter is slated to be just as epic. We can’t wait to see you all live or in the chat for the WCS Top 8 and the WCS Global Finals!
