The first day of tournament action at BlizzCon 2011 was absolutely explosive. We witnessed the first six rounds of the StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Global Battle.net Invitational and the furious conclusion of GSL October.

Please join us in congratulating SlayerS_MMA, the winner of the first GSL finals ever played outside of Korea. If you didn’t catch the action live, don’t worry. Our tournament ladders are updated on the BlizzCon Tournament page, so you can see who is moving on to Day 2 of the BlizzCon 2011 Global Invitationals, and who is being left behind. We’ll be updating that page with replays and videos, so check back soon.

All that, and we’re just getting started — so be sure to join us tomorrow for the exciting conclusion of the BlizzCon 2011 Global Invitational Tournaments.

If you weren't able to join us at the convention this year but still want to witness these epic battles, we’ve got you covered. You can get the standard definition action streamed straight to your living room for free, or you can pick up a BlizzCon 2011 Virtual Ticket to see it all in glorious HD.
