Twelve of the world’s best StarCraft II players (four from each of the game’s races — terran, protoss, and zerg) will join three of the league’s most dominant Halo: Reach teams in one of competitive gaming’s most sought-after training programs. For 10 hours each day over three days, some of the sharpest minds and fastest fingers in the world will gather at an innovative training facility developed by Red Bull to broaden their skills and prepare for their upcoming professional gaming competitions.
While the Red Bull LAN is closed to spectators, the event will be streamed live each night for six hours.
