BlizzCon is upon us once again; here are the reasons to get excited!

Every year at Anaheim, California, hordes of gamers flock to the Anaheim Convention Center for BlizzCon. A celebration of all things Blizzard, BlizzCon is a huge event that not only features fun community-developer interaction, it’s also the launchpad of major Blizzard releases (from games to add-ons). This year marks the 25^th Anniversary of Blizzard, and it’s also the 10^th BlizzCon ever; it’s no surprise that tickets have already been sold out.

But fear not, as there are still a lot of reasons to watch BlizzCon online. The convention is filled with events and activities to watch out for, such as:
