According to This is Game, Blizzard will announce the sequel to StarCraft at the World Wide Invitational, to be held in South Korea on May 19th. Here's a translation of the post:

On April 25th, according to the game company Blizzard Korea
Entertainment, it is confirmed that they will announce Starcraft 2
demonstrating it with both videos and images. Furthermore, the developers of Starcraft 2 will be there, and have time to answer the questions.

Starcraft 2* is being developed in 3D and there will be new race and some specific changes to remaining races. Details of only minor parts will be released at WWI.

Blizzard invited more than a hundred of broadcasting teams from around the world for this announcement. Prior to this very secret moment on
May 19th, they will not release any information.

I couldn't believe how addictive StarCraft was when I first tried it...that game should come with some kind of surgeon general's warning. The question is, assuming the rumor is true, of course, would this drag players away from Blizzard's golden child, World of Warcraft?
