SC2: HotS is finally coming out!
Edmonton's own release party for HotS will start at 6pm and go throughout the night, ending in the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday!
That means that you should book off work so you can stay and usher in a new era!
There will be free pizza and other food for everyone, a setlist of the greatest games and moments of wings of liberty, a showmatch, and, if enough interest, a tournament starting right after 12, when HotS is released!
Come one, come all, and live in the glory of the Swarm!

I can only skip 6 days this year. This is one of them!

If only this was one province over in Saskatchewan I would definitely come down.
who knows though, not like a 5 hour drive is a big deal

This sounds awesome! I'll definitely show up!
|
Awesome to hear the interest. The more people show up, the bigger and better it will be! <3

What time does the event end at?

I really want to go! Hopefully I can sweeten up my parents so I can go.
Quick question (I know its really stupid but...): Can I make the safe assumption that you will provide account for the tournament at midnight?

I can't 100% confirm this but probably not.

I think I'll go but don't think I could stay for the tournament.
How are people playing at midnight, is there a store near by?
|
Masq you can buy it online and download it prior to midnight. If you buy it on your current wings account you can just log in and play after midnight.

I'm trying to get a store to send a few copies for people who want to buy physical boxes as well.

Hopefully- But parts of this are out of my control. If there is a server crash or if the computers don't load the game as they should.... But we should have a few extra accounts yes.

I might make an appearance , its Styx .

that'd be awesome ^^ one of us one of us
|
Would LOVE to come. I will likely be there, but not for the whole thing unfortunately, as school interferes.

I will for sure. All stores are getting their copies today, so I will know if they have any to spare

Starting on Monday, March 11, Heart of the Swarm will begin launching throughout a 24 hour period across SE Asia, Korea & Taiwan, Europe, and the Americas. During this time period, the North America region will undergo a brief 1-2 hour maintenance at 11:00 PM, Pacific Daylight Time immediately prior to Heart of the Swarm being marked as live.
So how exactly is this going to work for the tournament considering the server is going to be down for 1-2 hours starting at midnight our time?

Awesome, I hope you guys have a great time!

I'm sorry, not quite sure what you mean by that. I took what they've given out to mean that it will be going down for maintenance at midnight our time (11 pacific) and should be down for an hour or 2. Wouldn't that mean we would have to delay the tournament until it's back up and do something else to kill time? I'll still be there for sure, and look forward to it.
Also why isn't this event on Overklocked's site? You should get them to list it.

Considering that when wing of liberty came out, I was able to access the servers immediately at like 12:15 or so. Don't think it will be any different for HOTS.

Ok, except for the fact that when you open up SC2 there's a notice from Blizzard stating that they're bringing down NA at midnight western time for 1-2 hours.

Calm down, don't go on wings so I wouldn't have known.
