Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain at WWI! (And Video Games Live)

Posted 28th May 2008 05:10 PM by Leord

It’s now exactly one month left until WWI 2008 in Paris, and while we’re all asking ourselves if there will be an announcement for Diablo 3 or some other unknown “next gen MMO”, we are glad to tell you that Blizzard’s top guys will be joining us again as Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain! Make sure to check out their last concert at WoWTV: Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain at BlizzCon 2007.

In addition to ETC, there is also a Video Games Live symphonic performance, which might not have as much raw power (to the hordies), but certainly has power in its own right.

Blizzard Quote:
PARIS, France. – Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that Video Games Live and Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain will both perform at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment® Worldwide Invitational, taking place at the Porte de Versailles Exposition Center in Paris, France over the 28th and 29th of June.

Following thunderous shows at previous Blizzard Entertainment events and in-game within World of Warcraft®, Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain, an all-Blizzard rock band, will bring their customary madness, mayhem and metal to the Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational’s closing ceremony—their first live European appearance. The band’s pounding rock anthems will be followed by a Video Games Live symphonic performance, featuring favourite themes from Blizzard Entertainment games, played by a full orchestra and choir, with an epic multimedia backdrop.

“We’re looking forward to spending a great weekend with Blizzard gamers from around the world and then closing the event out with some incredible live entertainment,” said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. “The music and performances of Video Games Live and our in-house group, Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain, will help us make the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational an unforgettable experience for our attendees.”

The 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational celebrates the communities surrounding Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft®, Diablo® and StarCraft® series, as well as showcasing the skills of top eSports gamers from around the world.

  • I Am Murloc
  • Rogues Do It From Behind

See you at WWI!

Well, you never know, I’m pretty sure they haven’t played at many other WWIs. Possibly last year, but not before that. Especially since it involves long travel time to Europe, you never know.

I’m more looking forward to the Video Games Live concert.  Lvl70ETC are good and all that but I’ve been to so many rock gigs now that they kinda pale for me.  Full orchestras, I’m still a newbie to those, so yay for gay Paris.  So this news gets a ‘tag’ from me.

That’s funny, I’m the complete opposite! I think that is more because the whole idea is so wonderfully geeky. =)

Also, I almost fell asleep during the Video Games Live concert last time =P Might have been prolonged stress for a newb, but still..
