Attention: fun StarCraft II activities detected!

With about one week left till gamescom in Cologne, Germany, you will surely be thrilled to find out what fun activities await you during one of the biggest gaming events in Europe.

For StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty fans who like watching top tier games, we’ve arranged an exciting showmatch. Don’t miss this opportunity to see a skilful and breathtaking battle between some brilliant diamond-league StarCraft II players! 

If you are brave enough to step into battle and lead your armies to triumph, then you might find the StarCraft II Challenges appealing to your tastes. Prove your strategic skills to everyone.

This year we also have the return of one of the most popular activities: a quiz about Blizzard games. You’ll be able to show that you know everything about the Koprulu sector, from Char to Aiur, and that you know your zerglings from your “Findlays”.

In case all this was not enough, you will have a chance to participate in a Goblin levelling contest, a dance contest, or watch World of Warcraft live raids. And of course during the event you will be able to try out Diablo III and the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

So, are you ready to enjoy the exciting events at this year’s gamescom? For more detailed information keep an eye on our website.

a "dance contest"? I don't even know how to imagine something like that, heh. Something like the MULE dance? I'm only participating if it involves dancemats :p.

Anyway, since I missed the midnight launch AND there is no decent Blizzard invitational this year (ok, a WoW one, who the hell wants to hang around a WoW crowd?) I WILL be taking the train from Belgium to Cologne next week :)

You'd better announce your plans on how you're going to let friends from different continents play with each other without having to purchase a separate copy of the game for each continent like it used to be.

Sounds great but I'm curious: how many of these fun things will be in German? As a non-German this was a bit of a drawback during the invitationals :-/

Was there last year to play StarCraft II. Lines were so freakishly long, I never came around to play Diablo 3.

@Mentalozzie: It should be, the showmatches in the invitational were in english. And this is "The biggest gaming event of the year" So it should be in english :) I suggest you go check out the main site for the event, just to make sure :)
