Starcraft II launch event ahoy!

Celebrate the Starcraft II launch in style at an action packed event in the heart of Brisbane.

It's almost here - the launch of Starcraft II is now only weeks away. Zerg are massing. Terrans are bunkering. Protoss are... glowing, or some shit. Regardless of who you're preparing, there's one event you don't want to miss if you're in Brisbane.

That's where the official Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty launch event is taking place, at King George Square, opposite EB Games' Albert Street store in Brisbane, Queensland, on the evening of Monday, July 26th. And what an event it'll be:

Entertainment will start from 9:30pm, and include:

- StarCraft Trivia contest: Test your knowledge of the StarCraft universe
- StarCraft Sound-a-like contest: Give your best StarCraft unit impressions - is your Battlecruiser operational?
- Live Developer Q&A with StarCraft II Producer Kaeo Milker
- StarCraft Cosplay contest: Come dressed as your favourite StarCraft characters

And much more! For more info on the evening's festivities, check out the official launch site.
