Blizzard is also planning to hold some special launch events worldwide to celebrate Heart of the Swarm. The event in the United States will take place at the GameStop located in the Giant Wheel Court at Irvine Spectrum Mall in Irvine, California. Blizz executives like Mike Morhaime and Chris Metzen will be present as participants check out some pros duke it out  and enjoy giveaways. More information on the event can be found here.
