Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2006 Wrapup
The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2006 in Seoul, Korea has come to an end. The past three days were packed with tournaments, developer panels, opportunities to try out Blizzard's upcoming titles hands-on, and a variety of Blizzard themed events. We hope everyone who was able to attend the event, or follow it on the audio and video streams, enjoyed the show.
After a resounding victory over his teammate Yellow, Kang Min of South Korea, known as "Nal_Ra", won the StarCraft Invitational tournament. Although Yellow put up a great fight, Nal_Ra's persistance and quick play skills was able to prevail over the BlizzCon champion's experience. Replays and tournament reports are available on the Worldwide Invitational Minisite.
