It is held in the renowned Palais des Festivals at Cannes, during the "Festival International des Jeux" (international games festival). This event will feature solo tournaments, team tournaments, and exhibitions matches. As it is also intended to be a show, all events will be viewable - for free - by the audience.

Sounds very cool. I'd like to attend, but I'm not really sure I can afford both your event AND GG SBO quals (should there be any in Europe next year). So I guess I'll have to wait for an announcement from Sweden guys (or maybe quals will be back to France this year?).

[Belial]

It's possible that GG SBO qualifs will take place in france this year.
