There will most likely be another Arcsys game in the list (BB or GG), and other games too. This is just a first announcement with a few solo games to wet your appetite ^^.

Is there any chance to see My Little Pony tournament in Cannes?

If the game is out at the time I'm pretty sure Neithan from the basgrospoing.fr website will run casual sessions/tournaments in his hotel room ^^. (a lot of them...)

But for a main game of the event: no...

-There will be International qualifiers (and we mean INTERNATIONAL).

Pretty cool, but rather big words as it seems to me. In particular pretty certain Ukraine is not included in the "INTERNATIONAL" term used?
