where can i get SC2 beta? do i need to install SC first and patch it to SC2? or is there any links which i can download both together?

I believe we will have workaround for this.. let's wait and see..
Yeah, for those has patience can wait may save few bucks(maybe more).. who know we can get USD100 for Trilogy/BattleChest after 2 years instead you pay every USD60 for each.. Since many foundation works has been done in each three units and Blizzard might be able to release one expansion each year or maybe less..(well, Blizzard will never enclosed the real release date, just anticipation or guessing only)

I am the one who start this and just want to see how starcraft fans perceive on this. All opinions is welcome but no flaming, this what make forum/blog so interesting.Thanks for all the feedback

its like waiting for the price of hardware to drop...
the time spend waiting vs the $$$ save might not be worthit...

guys when is the beta going to be up again or we are looking at going straight to release?
where u guys get the info anyway? cant seem t see it on any website or whatever.

hihi~ Just curious as to which region of the game will you guys be getting?

I personally thinking of getting the ASEAN region as I dont see any point of playing a laggy game. (oh the horror of lag!)

why? enlighten me so i might follow.

Wow, I'm still thinking whether to get SEA version ... Planning to get US version. Hopefully Beta phase 2 is out soon.

doubt so...
i'm nt that good >.<

Same just like me joining WCG FTL XDD

What do you guys think about these 2 maps?

4-players map:

This must be the earlier version of Dropship. AWESOME!

Some time ago, Blizzard announced on his official forum that the beta would resume in early July without giving any further detail on the alleged date. Today we learn that this beta would resume on July 1 for us and on June 27 for our Korean friends exclusively in their cybercafes PCBANG.
 

PCBANG is THE Korean cafe that was created in 1998. Used to play Starcraft, it is the rendezvous of the Korean players. Indeed, for the modest sum of one dollar per hour, players can train properly on quality computer. Small precision, PCBANG is not a chain of cybercafes but simply the name of cybercafes in Korea.


So with a note posted in all of Korea PCBANG we learn that the beta will resume in two days exclusively in their cafes. Otherwise, to play at home whether in Korea, Europe, or America, the public beta will resume on July 1. Date of resumption so ideal, since for many of us, it's the end of exams and summer vacation, and between sunbathe or play, you must choose! ( Krasnedit : On Canada's Day !!! f*** yeah [] )

Last, for country granted landmark for StarCraft, the beta will be open for them until July 27th, the same day as the official release of the game and even beyond. As for us, we must be content with only about two weeks of play since it was posted on the official forums that the beta would close two weeks before finally leaving the game

Damn I was hoping for a revamp for phase 2. Whats the reason for pausing beta then.   

if the hackers did that for MW2, maybe...
but again, its piracy and i'm against it...
good games deserves being bought original...

I still think that it'll be best for you to get a copy of 1 region first, wait to see if Blizz is gonna free us of region-locking & if not, then only you purchase another copy for other region.
