Starcraft II announed!

I was on the Blizz WoW General Forums refreshing every 15 seconds, and was aggressively refreshing the other blog with a reporter on the grounds of Blizzard's WWI show floor in Seoul, Korea itself.

Here's some extract of the intense moments...

2:41 - Interviewing a WC3 player. Female MC and size of crowd is making him nervous. Another joke in Korean. Now the female MC is complimenting his smile, he's visibly squirming.

3:45 - Now they're taking the oath saying they'll play for "for the races of each title" and their home country whom they're representing.

2:47 - Here we go, they're going to announce something.

FALSE ALARM

2:49 - Mike Morhaime takes stage to make announcement.

2:52 - Showing WC3 footage. When they showed Diablo footage the Deckard Cain "stay a while an listen" line got a cheer from the crowd.

2:55 - Now showing WoW footage - more cheers from crowd.

2:56 - Video over - Morhaime about to make announcement.

2:57 - Showing another movie, presumably of game footage.

SUPER INTENSE MOMENT...

3:00 - FMV sequence in a spaceship - looks Terran - zooming in on a metal door - door opening - reveals a guy with a cigar in chains - prisoner - door shuts behind him - there's so much bass the room is shaking - guy steps into some kind of metallic device - legs are strapped in - guy rising toward ceiling - Korean text on screen got people very excited - another part of the machine is dropping metal arms on him - machine whirring - applying armor to his torso - extremly detailed visuals here - now guy is strapping on gloves - armor is finally coming together - seems like a Terran marine - rocket jets turn on - zerg now onscreen - Marine delivers a line in Korean - StarCraft 2 officially announced.

THERE'S LIKE 100 NEW THREADS OF "SCII ANNOUNCED" ON THE WOW FORUMS AT THIS MOMENT

3:05 - Morhaime says everyone eager to see actual game - going to show actual gameplay - bringing up SC2 lead designer Dustin Browder.
