Blizzard Entertainment har i dag afsløret, at deres fjerde Blizzard Worldwide Invitational i år vil finde sted i Paris. Det er derved første gang arrangementet afholdes i Europa og gamere med hang til enten World of Warcraft eller StarCraft II, bør måske overveje at lægge sommerferien i Frankrig i år. Blizzard har nemlig planer om at tilbyde “hands-on” demonstrationer af både Wrath of the Lich King (WoW) og StarCraft II. Det er dog ikke helt billigt at deltage, da billetprisen på €70 vil kunne afskrække nogen. Vil du med, bør du holde øje med Blizzards website, da billetter vil blive sat til salg i løbet af de næste uger.
