BlizzCon 2014 Recap: Highlights From Blizzard Include Starcraft 2, Hearthstone Expansion, Warcraft Movie And Overwatch, Blizzard's New IP [VIDEO]

The 2014 edition of BlizzCon wrapped up over the weekend and it was quite the celebration. The event marked the 10th anniversary of the release of World of Warcraft, the world's most popular MMO and Blizzard pulled out all the stops. In addition to the thrilling end to several Blizzard related tournaments, the company also announced its first new IP in 17 YEARS. So much happened. Let's get to it.

There was no confirmation on the Eye of Azshara, which is rumored to be the sixth expansion to World of Warcraft. Hopefully we'll hear more about that soon.

Firebat won the first ever Hearthstone BlizzCon tournament in a one-sided battle against Tiddler Celestial. USA! USA! Firebat won 3-0 in the best of 5 finals and walked away with a cool $100,000. Not too shabby.

The three man team Bleached Bones won the World of Warcraft arena championship and picked up a $120,000 for their time and trouble.

It was an exciting time to be a Blizzard fan. The company is known for going years between releases, even announcements, and already we've seen an all new game (Hearthstone), one Hearthstone expansion (and another announced), Reaper of Souls expansion and a brand new IP announcement. Imagine what next year will be like.
