Starcraft 2 Release Date
IRVINE, Calif., May 03, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that its highly anticipated real-time strategy game, StarCraft(R) II: Wings of Liberty(TM), will arrive in stores throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau starting on July 27, 2010. Players will also be able to purchase StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty directly from Blizzard Entertainment shortly after the retail launch.
"We've been looking forward to revisiting the StarCraft universe for many years, and we're excited that the time for that is almost here," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Thanks to our beta testers, we're making great progress on the final stages of development, and we'll be ready to welcome players all over the world to StarCraft II and the new Battle.net(R) in just a few months."
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the sequel to Blizzard Entertainment's 1998 hit StarCraft, which has been hailed by players and critics worldwide as one of the top real-time strategy games of all time. Sporting a vibrant 3D-graphics engine, StarCraft II will once again center on the clash between the protoss, terrans, and zerg, with each side deploying legions of veteran, upgraded, and new unit types. Unparalleled online play for StarCraft II will be available through a new version of Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment's world-renowned gaming service. Battle.net has been redesigned from the ground up to be the premier online gaming destination for Blizzard gamers, with several enhancements and new features, such as voice communication, cloud file storage, leagues and ladders, achievements, stat-tracking, and more.
The solo campaign for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will continue the epic saga where it left off in StarCraft: Brood War(R). The story line chronicles the exploits of marshal-turned-rebel-leader Jim Raynor and features both familiar faces and new heroes. Players will be able to tailor the experience, choosing their own mission path and selecting technology and research upgrades to suit their playing style throughout the 29-mission campaign. Several challenge-mode mini-games will also be included, with focused goals designed to ease players into the basics of multiplayer strategies.
For more information on StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, visit the official website at www.starcraft2.com. Further details about the game, including the alternative pricing options previously mentioned for certain regions, will be announced in the coming weeks. With multiple games in development, Blizzard Entertainment has numerous positions currently available -- visit www.blizzard.com/jobs for more information and to learn how to apply.

New Channel
Our East division now has a new channel. This channel can be reached by going to Clan TFE. We will no longer be using op TFE. This new channel will provide increased stability and security for our clan, as well as giving us greater professionalism.

TFE 2010
Attention comrades it is I, Emperor OhManeus. As you well know by now, Emperor Maximus and myself have decided to bring The First Evil back up to its former glory (and beyond) in preparation for the release of SC2, which is expected sometime this year (fingers crossed).
This news post will detail our plans for this glorious year. Our long-serving member and East division leader Battleb00t has already done an amazing job keeping TFE on its feet for the last two years, and has graciously offered to continue leading the east division for as long as she is able.
West has suffered inactivity, but will be brought back up to fighting strength by the combined efforts of myself, Cloud, and evilshad0w.
Max will be working hard on our website and forums (due on the 31st of JAN), creating a awesome hang out for both our east and west divisions, as well as offering many features such as medal and rank awards, member-progression tracking, easily hosted events, and much more that I'm sure he has hidden up his sleeves!
Both west and east shall try to expand their player base to include players from the UMS competitive scenes of Helms Deep, Diplomacy, Laser Tag and any other map considered worthy enough to field a team in, as well as the melee scene. Any quality mappers would also be hugely welcome.
So in bullet point form, our method of attack for 2010:
)Website completion, have all members registered on the site, and the site fully functional.
)Bringing back the vets, emailing the long-time members & getting them back on board.
)Increasing numbers, useful and mature members joining the fray.
)Expanding our competitive edge, fielding teams in Helms, Diplo, LT, melee, etc.
)Regular events, inter-clan tournies, squad vs squad or east vs west, etc.
)Mapping division, quality mappers in the First would be a HUGE asset.
)Starcraft 2, moving from one game to the other with strong foundations to build on.
Max and I look forward to gaming with you all this year, and hope that we will all work together to make TFE one of the greatest clans the Starcraft community has ever seen!
Callum
Co-Founder of the First.
