The first day of BlizzCon 2009 is winding down! We’ve had a blast meeting fellow gamers from around the world, and we hope you’ve enjoyed following along with the announcements, events, and tournaments. Here are just a few highlights of the day:
- During the opening ceremony, thousands of players gathered round for a first-ever look at the new World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm. Once they learned the details of Azeroth’s impending disaster, players got to try out the worgen and goblin starting areas for themselves on the show floor.

- Flanked by giant tournament screens in Hall A and Hall B of the Anaheim Convention Center, pro gamers wowed the crowd with their playing prowess on the first day of the StarCraft, Warcraft III, and World of Warcraft Arena tournaments. You can check out the results of day one on the tournament brackets page.

- The evening wrapped up with style and silliness as Jay Mohr hosted the costume, dance, and sound-alike contests. Attendees imitating Kel’Thuzads, Mistresses of Pain, Sartharions, Raynors, and even meeting stones took the stage at this year’s show — look for photos and a list of all the winners soon!
