Thank for the new.

If anyone is interested, you can go to blizzard.com to "opt-in" to be selected to test a beta release. Blizzard won't say when they are releasing a beta however. Like everything they do.

I had recently discovered the Korean pro-gaming scene. I like watching the amateur english commentaries, I think the matches are just as entertaining as some sports broadcasts. One of my favorite commentators in particular is grethsc. He takes casual starcraft replays and commentates them for comedic purposes. Though I think familiarity with Starcraft and it's mechanics is required to truly enjoy watching the commentaries. Though that's probably true with any sport.

To be honest I'm not looking forward to Starcraft 2 as much when I heard about the LAN thing. To me there is no good justification reason to remove LAN play. The only reasons I can think of, are self-serving ones. Controlling the multiplayer experience by forcing you to use battle.net and as a dubiously effective measure at reducing piracy. So I might hold for a few years after all 3 games (it's going to be split up into 3 parts if you have not heard already) get released in an inevitable "battle chest" pack.

I will however be fully looking forward to the commentaries and seeing how those hardcore pro-koreans wrap their heads around the new system.

aw wwow, thought this game was going to come out last year during this time, but i guess it still delayed.....and no beta either. Been wanting to play it....

PSA

The closed public beta is now LIVE and as many as 30k (suspected) keys are now in circulation. There are no NDAs. Meaning that all the beta testers can talk about their experience, post screens/videos, etc without getting into trouble with Blizzard. Videos and screenshots are popping up everywhere. Check it out.

My computer is kinda old.
Hope they don't make this game use too much supply.

Dose anyone knows the PC's spec to play this game ?

System requires are here:
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23308410974&sid=5000

Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
1024x768 minimum display resolution
4 GB free hard space (Beta)
Broadband connection

See the link for further details.

The date has been set for July 27 for 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.

You can get a pre-order at gamestop or amazon (not totally sure about amazon) you can get a beta key. Though I heard it's US only. Personally I prefer to wait for all the kinks to be worked out by launch day. The mac client has pretty bad performance compared to the windows version so I'm not going to bother right now. The limited edition package is a little tempting though.

I just pre-ordered and got my beta key.

Anyone else playing beta?

After playing about 10 games, I realize more than ever now:
damn I suck at this game, haha.

Ayabie · « **Reply #35 on:** May 20, 2010, 09:57:49 AM »

I convinced myself to stay put with the cracked beta until the full thing comes out, but I don't think I can manage anymore half-assed AI games.

I'ma pre-order this soon enough for a key.

Slack · « **Reply #36 on:** May 20, 2010, 10:16:56 AM »

I think I heard that this beta is only until the end of the month, then they're taking it offline for polishing and fixing stuff.

After that, gotta wait till July, huh?

Ayabie · « **Reply #37 on:** May 20, 2010, 11:57:55 AM »

Aw, seems like you're right. :/

July isn't too far away... in reality...

Edit: Making this into the Starcraft thread. Any proleague fans? The latest news about the fixed games was pretty shocking.

boykun · « **Reply #38 on:** May 22, 2010, 09:51:27 PM »

blizzard just reset everything on the beta. Seems like league placements were changed around. Also 3v3 and 4v4 games are enabled. I already lost 3 out of my 5 single placement matches

though i can blame one on a DC.

I dont really follow any leagues. But ive been watching the HDH invitational that husky and hdstarcraft are casting. Finals will be tomorrow with IdrA, the only American in any Korean team, i think.. vs. very oldschool sc player WhiteRa. Gonna be a pretty intense Zerg vs. Protoss game, but I think IdrA is gonna take it, though I really don't want him to.

Slack · « **Reply #39 on:** May 23, 2010, 12:27:50 AM »

I guess that means I get to re-qualify!
Here's hoping I win more than 1 of 5 this time.
