Europe's largest show for interactive entertainment, the Games Convention, is taking place at the Leipziger Messe in Leipzig, Germany from the 23rd to the 26th of August 2007 where you'll have the chance to be among the first in Europe to play World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and StarCraft II!
Hands-on time with both titles are available at Blizzard's GC booth in Hall 2, Booth E12. We'll also be hosting some special events we have planned, including demonstrations by the developers, tournaments for StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Arena, and a live raid by members of European guild Nihilum on the Black Temple. We hope to see you at GC 2007!
