As the Warcraft II Season 4 Global Finals are getting closer and closer, Blizzard has decided to spill the beans and reveal the final details of the tournament. This event will bring together the best of the best Warcraft III players who have earned the right of being in the final face-off, by winning regional finals in Europe, Asia and American continents.

So, the finals of the tournament will be held in Germany at Celogne's Media Park between January 26-28. The event is organized by Turtle Entertainment and sponsored by Intel. If you can't make it to Cologne in due time, don't worry because GIGA (an European broadcasting station for games, eSports and lifestyle) will provide live coverage.

Although Warcraft III is an old game (it was released back in 2002) it is still very popular. It contains four playable races, Humans, Orcs, Night Elves and Undead. The campaign in Warcraft III is similar to the one in StarCraft, being told throughout the game's races in a progressive manner.

A year later, after Warcraft III was released, Blizzard came out with an expansion called Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. It included new heroes, new units and some user interface improvements. You probably know that the Warcraft series of games was the basis for what was to become the biggest Blizzard success, World of Warcraft.
