Live streams of the Worldwide Invitational available

If you're unable to attend the Worldwide Invitational in Paris, don't worry! In addition to WoW Insider's own coverage of the panels and various announcements, Blizzard has arranged a live feed for their opening ceremony, closing ceremony, and all of the tournaments and concerts in between. It looks like they'll be running two feeds at once, one at their Main Stage and one at their Tourney Stage, so there might be more going on than you can follow! In addition to having two feeds, each of them has a low quality and a high quality feed available. Have an awesome connection? Stream both stages at High! Personally, I'll have the Main Stage going at High Quality nonstop, but maybe not the Tournament Stage so much.I (and Blizzard) recommend taking a look at the live feed page before the convention begins, so you can prepare any software or plugins you may not have yet. If you tuned in for the 3v3 tournament on GotFrag awhile ago, you should be all set already. If you haven't, you'll need to pick up Octoshape and install it. Instructions and requirements can be found on the Octoshape website.

Octoshape resets my PC when trying to grab the test feed, so no Blizzard live stream for me :(

Well I will be at work so I can't install the Octoshape exe... I wonder does anyone know how to install Octoshape to a thumb drive version of Firefox?

Judging by the time and stuff, It'll start 4:45am CST for me. F -_-

maybe it's just me, but the information as to when we can expect to watch what on there would have been rather interesting.

5:45am Est tomorrow is when the opening will start. That's when they are announcing the big news. The last splash will be up before then, around 4am est if the past few nights hold true.

Not even a test signal is up at this point. Try some other Octoshape streams to see if you are ok in the mean time. BTW, they also have a Mac and a Linux client that works just fine. Way to go Octoshape!

So to watch this live feed, I would have to be up at 2:45 AM? As much as I love Blizzard, no way in hell am I doing that.
