My name is Piou and I am a Belgian starcraft 2 shoutcaster on youtube.



About 2 months ago, I contacted FNAC Belgium ( a distributor of books, CD, DVD and videogames).

I asked them if they would be interrested in organizing a midnight event for the release of Starcraft 2 : Heart of the swarm.

When Wings of Liberty came out, we didn't have anything organized in Belgium.

When I saw that FNAC France opened its shop on the Champs Elysée at midnight, I thought to myself "Next time, I will try to have something awsome like this in Belgium !"



My plan was simple : A show match between 2 Belgian players (Feast was already ok to take part in it !) that would be shown on a huge screen in front of an audiance with live commentaries.

At midnight, we would start selling the games that could be signed by the players afterwards.



I contacted FNAC, they told me that they were interrested in my idea !

Finally we would have an event in Belgium, we would not miss another opportunity to celebrate the birth of the new game !

I was so "exciting" as Violet would say !



I gathered all the marketing knowledge that I have and made a power point presentation (

Unfortunately, due to my finals, I couldn't manage to have at appointment.

But FNAC was still interrested in the project and was looking for a location suitable for the event.



Unfortunately, today, I got an e-mail from FNAC telling me that they couldn't find a suitable location for the event and that the project had to be cancelled... That means "no midnight event in Belgium once again" !



But I am a starcraft player, I do not quit, I do not give up so easily !

That's why I need you ! Yes you from the United states as well as you from Russia and also you from Korea, I need you all !



If you could take 1 minute to sent a message on FNAC's Twitter ( @Fnac I want a starcraft 2 midnight event in Belgium for Heart of the swarm ) like I did, I am sure that they will listen and will make an extra effort into finding a location to make the event possible !

EDIT :

We are a community and together we can do it !



Thank you in advance fellow starcrafters, you are the best community ever



TL;DR : Fans wants to organize a midnight event for the release of HotS and needs your help to achieve it !

Yes, it could be Liège actually because Brussels's FNAC is in a shopping center that can't be open during the night to avoid theft in the other closed shops. http://www.youtube.com/PiouStarcraft - http://www.facebook.com/pioustarcraft

In your link while explaining history of StarCraft, You mention StarCraft Broodwars? What is that? I've heard of StarCraft: BroodWar, but not Broodwars... is that the new expansion set or something? Thanks

And if they'd do it in Leuven, that would be delightful for me personally. Liège not so much . I don't have twitter, but I'd love to have a midnight release too. I went to one in Mechelen for WoL btw, not exactly sure which chain it was anymore (but definitely not Fnac). I'll see if I can find out which one it was.And if they'd do it in Leuven, that would be delightful for me personally. Liège not so much <3 PsY

stijn26 Profile Joined February 2012 Belgium 13 Posts #18 This is a verry good initiative. have you actually thought about reaching out toward the lotto arena or something? maybe they are willing to sponsor the event. and donate the room for the night. then fnac could hold their sale right there. maybe fnac could even help with the costs for the arena. it would actually be really ideal. i know it isn't really in the center of belgium or something but it would actually be reachable for dutch people from the south who would be willing to come over.
