Tickets for the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational convention and tournament being held in Paris, France, will go on sale this Thursday The event will be at the Porte de Versailles Exposition Centre on June 28 and 29, with tickets costing €70 / £55 ($110). Attendees will get hands-on time with WoW expansion Wrath of the Lich King and StarCraft II.
The tournament will have $100,000 in prizes, but all we really care about is the big announcement. Blizzard has a habit of revealing big things at its special events, as it did at last year's invitational in Korea when it announced StarCraft II. Then again, Blizzard could just make us sad Pandaren by neglecting to reveal anything at all.

French sounded beautiful until I tried learning it. French sounded okay until after going to France and being treated poorly for being an American.

Well we all know the French are a bunch of sissy girls, much like the WoW population. :)

Why, because they believe in love and not war?

Every time there's an exposition at the Porte de Versailles, the peripheral freeway (basically a freeway which runs around the city) always gets jammed towards that section.
But for once it'd be totally worth it.
