Watch the Best StarCraft 2 and Hearthstone Players in the World Compete Live on ESPN

If you couldn't make it to BlizzCon 2014 but want to watch the world championships finals in Hearthstone, World of Warcraft Arena, and StarCraft II, ESPN has you covered.

The cable television sports network and Blizzard have agreed to live stream the events on ESPN 3, its online branch. The Hearthstone World Championship (Semifinals And Final), World of Warcraft Arena World Championship (Semifinals And Final), and StarCraft II WCS Global Finals (Semifinals and Grand Final) will stream live today at 1:00 p.m. EST.

You can watch the best players in the world compete for a total prize pool of $750,000 on any device that can download the WatchESPN app, or just head over to WatchESPN.com.

In September, ESPN's president John Skipper said games like League of Legends and Dota 2 aren't a sport, but ESPN 3 obviously continues to broadcast eSports events like the one taking place at BlizzCon 2014 this weekend.

Blizzard announced a lot of exciting news at its event. Be sure to catch up with the latest on the Hearthstone expansion, Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void, the Warcraft movie, and its brand new multiplayer shooter, Overwatch.
