<em><a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/bloggers/mathew-mccurley/">Mat McCurley</a> is on loan to us from <a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/">WoW Insider</a>, which dispatched him to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/BlizzCon-2011/">BlizzCon 2011</a> just in time to bring us this hands-on with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard-Entertainment/">Blizzard's</a> upcoming MOBA!</em><br />
