32 players will stomp faces at MLG Spring Arena 2 in NY...

but, 4 lucky players will be in Lyon, France







When the biggest electro music festival in Europe goes StarCraft...

4 top StarCraft 2 players will compete in Lyon, France on the 19th of May to win 5,000€. The event is part of Nuits-Sonores, an electro music festival which attracts about 80 thousand people each year and has received over 2500 artists from 50 different countries since its debut in 2003.



The event takes place in a concert venue, "Le Transbordeur", over the course of a single day. Starting with Best of 5 semi-finals, matches will be interspersed by dj sets from Bee records and artist Best of 7 between the 2 finalists.



A lot of consideration has been put towards the show and the scene, especially regarding lighting and the player booths, in hopes of holding an event unlike any other.



French commentators Pomf & Thud will host at the venue while MrBitter and RotterdaM provide an english stream from an offsite location.

Ofc that's a good thing. A truly creative person rids him or herself of self-imposed limitations. ROOT4ROOT! 'this is a strategy made of balls'- tasteless

Roberi Profile Joined March 2011 Sweden 347 Posts #6 Jesus! These French events are so interesting. Love how they focus more on the live spectator's experience. Will be fun to see who the other players will be.



Oh, and Danger is fucking awesome, I've seen him live twice and he has impressed me both times. He's everything that's great about French electro. A fan of ThorZaIN, MorroW, NaNiwa and SaSe. Sweden Fighting! /// @rob_eri

The event happens during the Nuits-Sonores festival (May 16-20), so it had to be that week-end. The event happens during thefestival (May 16-20), so it had to be that week-end.

It's also a little silly to see "MYM.MVP" before finale's name, not gonna lie. "There is nothing more satisfying than looking at a crowd of people and helping them get what I love." ~Day[9] Daily #100

BitterdaM will be in the game themselves so no worries, however we will not be able to stream the music performance live (there will be a video released after the event).
