Blizzard Worldwide Invitational is about to kick off in Paris, France and anyone can watch the action via official video streams provided by Blizzard. You need to install the Octoshape plugin for streaming - Peer to Peer streaming is the only way a massive video stream like this could be realistically provided.
There are two separate streams covering Main Stage and Tournament Stage. Once you have the plugin installed, you can hit the following links;
Main Stage (400 kbit/s)Main Stage (1000 kbit/s)Tournament Stage (400 kbit/s)Tournament Stage (1000 kbit/s)The Opening Ceremonies begin at 11:45 CET and the program then continues with Starcraft and WoW Arena tournaments on the Tournament Stage and a series of developer panels on the Main Stage.

Assuming the Octoshape streaming software holds up, it should be the next best thing to actually being on location.
