Pro gamers to carry Olympic Torch

In the East - where else?

Two Warcraft III players will march the prestigious Olympic torch on its way to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

There's no word on where or where Jae Ho "Moon" Jang and Li "Sky" will join the procession, GGL Wire reports (cheers Kotaku for the tip off). Apparently, professional StarCraft player Junchun "Pj" Sha will be also be along for the ride, along with fellow RTS-er Lei "Leilei" Shen. Pro gamers of the world unite!

The Olympic torch's progress to Beijing has been marked with protests all across Europe and in the US. Here's hoping the gamers don't have anything heavy thrown at them...
