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 Danger, and will culminate in a 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.

The 4 players

Jang "Moon" Jae Ho

Kim "MYM.MVPfinale" Kyung Deok

“Hello everyone, I am very pleased that I get the chance to participate to my first event outside of Korea. I will do my best and I will try to show the best of myself to the French public, I want to thank MYM, Razer and the organizers for the invitation.”
– MYM.MVPfinale

“We are happy to send finale to this event. He is an awesome player with a really strong macro. We think he’s ready to show Europe what his name stands for. We appreciate the invitation and will be ready for it.”
– Sebastian "falli" Rotterdam, MYM Coach

Benoît "Adelscott" Strypsteen

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.

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

Hopefully you guys will not make the same mistake as IronSquid - re-streaming the Eng game-stream which caused shuttering. Just have BitterdaM re-stream the french stream when it comes to the break time - some good live music i hope

Interesting choices so far o.O

It's also a little silly to see "MYM.MVP" before finale's name, not gonna lie.

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).
