GosuGamers and Blizzard hosting StarCraft casual tournament in Paris
Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 4 years ago
Got what it takes to win the StarCraft 2on2 fun-tournament at the Worldwide Invitational in Paris? Prove it, by playing the qualifier and be the Top 16 team to play in the Finals of the community tournaments at the Worldwide Invitational in Paris.
GosuGamers comes together with Blizzard Entertainment and happily announces the StarCraft Community Tournament! Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational stands as the battleground where the 16 best teams coming out of a qualifier to be held May 24th get to play the upcoming blockbuster to achieve fame and a replica of the Frostmourne sword.Sadly we do not have the capacity to run a full-scale tournament with every attendee on-site, so a qualifier in StarCraft: Brood War will be held to determine the best 16 teams, hosted by us, GosuGamers. In order to participate, you will need a ticket to the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2008 in Paris, and of course a copy of StarCraft: Brood War.
» Enter the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational site to sign up, which will be open until May 13th. After signing up you will be confirmed if you have purchased a ticket for WWI, and then an email will be sent out with further information. The best 16 teams coming out of the qualifier will be chosen to participate in the StarCraft Community tournament at the 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris. The teams 17 to 32 will be put on a back-up list to fill in, in case one of the best 16 teams does not confirm their attendance in Paris.
To start off, sign up at the Blizzard website. Further information on maps, ruleset and times will be announced soon, here on GosuGamers.

| Nice news ! ;) I make a site about WWI2008, you will be able to see there all the SC2 videos you need. I will give you the url if you want. PS : sorry for my sooo bad english xD |
| nice :) |
| i want that sword in case someone breaks into my house... |
| kewll |
| Sword has real blades or it is just plastic baby toy? |
| #40, it's real high quality steel, but I'm not sure about it's sharpness. Otherwise it would be "cold weapon", but I'm pretty sure you can turn it into real weapon at home with some blacksmithing skills, then go to conquer nearest school. |
| cant wait to see the results xD |
| Hehe... so are they planning to release some more awesome prizes for the winners? Well, since I hear so many starcraft players bashing warcraft often, winning as a first prize some warcraft releated sword must be like "absolutely must have thing", eh? nvm. lastest part ;) |
| Such a gay prize ... |
| did this sword get a frost ability ? xD otherwise its LAME |
| this news ready available in Vietnam Starcraft Community, but very sad, we can`t join it, good luck Gosugamer and Blizzard WorldWide Invitation http://vietstarcraft.vn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&a mp;id=53&Itemid=2 |
Prove it, by playing the qualifier and be the Top 16 team to play the StarCraft 2 tournament at the Worldwide Invitational in Paris. To all prize-whiners: Is participating in first SC2 tournament not enough? |
