David Loung, an instructor in CGSociety and a 3D artist for Blizzard (accidentally?) revealed on his website yesterday that Blizzard's World Wide Invitational will be cancelled this year, and folded in to an even larger BlizzCon.

Blizzcon 2009 has also been announced, bigger, and better than the previous, this round it will take up the entire Anaheim Convention center! August 21-22, save the dates! Tickets will be on sale soon, buy them fast, they go record breakingly quick. There will be no Worldwide Invitational this year, as it will be combined with Blizzcon, so there will be even bigger tournaments and competitions this year.

Sad news for non-Americans.

He also went on to show the unveiling of the massive Orc Statue outside Blizzard HQ, with lots of shots from the event. Click image for further pictures.
