Blizzcon 2014 hosted a number of important eSports tournaments this past weekend, including the first Hearthstone World Championship.

Blizzard Entertainment finally revealed the long awaited cinematic for Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void, which means that the game’s release date should’t be too far away now.

The Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm World Championship Series has concluded which means that we now have a new global champion. The player in question is none other than StarTale’s Life, the only Zerg who managed to get into the quarter-finals.
