All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsBlizzard confirms Grunty, the Marine Murloc, as BlizzCon giveaway

To no one's surprise, Blizzard has confirmed that yes, Grunty, the Space Marine Murloc we posted about yesterday, will be given away in the BlizzCon goody bag to all attendees. Anyone who also orders the DirecTV pay-per-view package this year will also pick up the noncombat pet as an in-game item. So if you want to get your hands on this little well-armed gurgler, get those F5 buttons and your Battle.net accounts ready: tickets go on sale May 16th.
As we noticed yesterday, the little guy also has a Gauss rifle that he will periodically fire into the air, Blizzard says, "to make sure no invisible spacecraft are swooping in to attack." Which is cute and all, but you know what would be cuter? Hearing a Space Marine radio version of the little guy's Murloc gurgle when you click on him.
*ksshhkk* Mrguggugguggle! *ksshhkk* Blizzard, make it so!

OK, now I have to scrounge up the equivalent of $40 so I can get this guy. Sure I also want to see the panels and such but I don't have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting to the US to attend BlizzCon.

As far as I understand it will not be available for EU users even if they will pay for BlizzCon translation to DIRECTV, isn't it?
In "requirements" you need to have Battle.net account and it must be connected to your "WoW account" which is not available for EU users in present moment.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
