Swarm of Hearts · 18 February 2013

Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is the world's leading medical humanitarian aid organisation. We work in over 70 countries - in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics. We are independent, neutral and impartial. We provide medical care where it's needed most.

Story

Swarm of Hearts is a charity event for StarCraft II, one of the most popular computer games.

The event activity is scheduled for April 13th 2013 and is organised by StarCraft II Arcade Community to show the best Arcade has to offer: quality games, its Communities and desire to improve.

About StarCraft II Arcade

StarCraft II features an Arcade section where skilled developers publish their own games based on StarCraft II engine.

The event is a collaborative effort of four Arcade Communities: Aeon of Storms, Night of the Dead, Star Battle and The Star Strikers.

Agenda

Each participating StarCraft II Arcade game Community runs an official tournament in the middle of April and everyone is free to join and have a shot at becoming a champion of the biggest StarCraft II Arcade event in his game of choice.

An official live-stream will feature every participating Arcade game and its Community. A special guest will assure the event will get the coverage it deserves. If people will appreciate our hard work and resolve involved in organising this event we might raise just enough money to support a cause of our choice - Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

MSF's (fr. Médecins Sans Frontières, MFS) work is based on the humanitarian principles of medical ethics and impartiality. The organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people in crisis regardless of their race, religion, or political affiliation.

Goals

- Raise funds for Doctors Without Borders.
