The hall is filled with huge screens installed behind cool blue and white lights and some kind of misty fog. They're currently playing a bunch of videos on various Blizzard IPs.

They're doing an interview with Kim Phan now covering all the esports at Blizzcon. The StarCraft section focused on the Maru / Serral storyline almost exclusively.

Destiny 2 will be free if you log-in sometime between today (dunno when exactly it starts) and November 18. I enjoyed their free to play weekend so that's neat.

SC2 announcements: Zeratul co-op commander and some DeepMind stuff. Split out the former as a separate tweet since it's a big announcement.

Heroes announcement: new hero named Orphea (my spelling is probably incorrect). Neat video announcement.

WoW Classic coming Summer 2019, anyone with a WoW subscription will get access. Not clear on how the latter works, will probably be clarified later in the deep dive panel.

WC3 remastered coming, per split out tweet. Much respect for showing a whole bunch of gameplay footage for a game that's coming out next year.

New Diablo game coming called "Diablo Immortal". Emphasis on mobile platforms. Set in-between D2 and D3. Partnered with Netease to build the game.

That's it for the opening ceremony folks. Expect tweets and blurbs on Zeratul and WC3 later today.
