"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

Update on the R9 290X (the alleged 'Titan killer'):
It will have overall performance slightly higher than the Titan, but very similar overall, so that's not a big selling point. What is the big selling point of the card is the pricing. It is gonna cost even less than the GTX 780, being priced at ~600$. That's 50$ less than the GTX780 and 400$ less than the Titan, while having similar performance.
We can expect some pretty heavy pricecuts on Nvidia cards going forward, that or they'll be left in the dust, which I doubt they will allow.

Edit: Also, they announced a competitor to Nvidia's Titan. (supposedly being more powerful according to leaked benchmarks)
Mantle seems interesting. I would very much like it if control over the main graphics API on the PC platform wasn't in the hands of Micro$oft.
I just hope it doesn't turn into a case of:
