so i just got a friend invite beta key in mail, but all my friends that wanted a key already have one. i cant play beta at all because my computer doensnt have enough ram but im not worried because bw is better than any beta anyway.
im gonna give out this friend invite beta key to any person who i think deserves it.
post here with why you want the key, and why you think you deserve it. i shall reply if i deem you suitable
update:
ok haha i have a lot of options here..first id like to thank my friend lowbright for giving kwark a key, and Late for making me that awesome banner :D that deserves a key but looks like you have one already now.
Steve i talked to Kurt and he said hes not too interested in getting a key, same idea as me hed rather wait for the game, so im giving them to people who do want them/will put them to good use. I havent seen hyuga or adam at all lately and i dont have their contact info >_<. If you do can you ask them for me if they need a key still?
As for the rest of you, I want to give them away to people who #1 will help give good feedback and make sc2 a worthy sequel to bw - this means you need to be good at bw in the first place. #2 I want to give keys to people who are unable to get them otherwise - this means people from countries that have no preorder option. Also, the more time/better use you put these keys too matters as well, so people with lots of friends sharing it are a plus. I know there were several of each of these types of posters, if you are one, post again to be clear which you are and why you stand out from the others in your situation.
Ok so to narrow it down, please post again if you want a beta key to be able to give feedback to blizzard, and give me your max iccup rank or whatever you think will convince me that you actually know how bw works. The person with the most bw knowledge will get one.
Please also post again if you are from a preorderless country and have friends who also desperately want to play beta, the person with the most combined activity time will get one.

aw couldn't you do a quiz or riddle
they are funnnn

I've played with the same group of friends for years now, from Counter-Strike to Brood War to WoW.
Now they're all playing Starcraft II. Except me. I apparently am the only jackass in the group that didn't get one. Even the guy with the crappy computer that sucks but we keep him around anyway? Yeah, he got an invite and I didn't.
TLDR: Same QQ as everyone else, but I'd like one. 
|
I'd like to donate it to my gf so she can play the beta too.
|
I definately am not of worth,
As many here deserve it more.
Though, I'd be filled with mirth,
If you'd help me become hardcore.
:3

I would love a SC2 beta key.
I have been an ardent Blizzard supporter since I first played StarCraft in 1999. Actually I loved them even earlier, as I was a huge Lost Vikings and Warcraft 1 fan, but I didn't know/care about that being Blizzard until later. I was a hardcore SC/BW fan for many years and joined TL in 2004, and though I don't post much, have been lurking avidly ever since. I stopped playing SC hardcore when Warcraft 3 came out, though I had honed my RTS skills enough to quickly became a top player. I was #1 on the USEast RoC ladder several different times and had one of the sickest Orc profiles. I don't play much War3 anymore as I never got into TFT, and there is a void in my life right now that I am used to filling with a Blizzard game. Enter StarCraft 2.
Aside from all that, I have diverse skills and knowledge that make me a rather good guy to owe you a favor. I write software to make part of my living and will probably write some tools for SC2 that are useful to the community. Thanks for considering me as a beta key contender.

Edit: got one already!
good luck to the rest of you

I feel like I jumped into the Starcraft scene quite late. I played with my uncle back when I was very young but I was too young to be aware of the awesome community that was out there. Now that I've been playing on Iccup for a few months I am saddened by the fact that i missed out on the growth of the game and the development of the myriad of strategies that have come about over the games great history. I have wanted a key so bad but have not yet received one despite owning every Blizzard game since Warcraft II, even WoW unfortunately. I am worried that if I miss the Beta I will also lose my chance to be a part of the development of the game, I fear that by release much of the more intense and exciting stuff will have already become standardized. I want more than anything to contribute to the community through strategy development, something that I totally missed in BW. I promise that i will use your key to its fullest potential if you choose to give it to me. =D

i have tried the hole beta time to get a key and i havent =(
is it wierd that i know all tactics and stuff without playing it =)
Help a brother out!
|
i think that you should adopt a 'first-come, first served' policy
|
i am pretty deserving! been trying like hell to get one but i flail T_T.
|
hello, wouldn't mind getting a key, wouldn't mind it being given away to someone more deserving, just posting for the chance =p
|
never played starcraft 1 or 2 but i want to join this community badly scince wacthing day9 100# episode.
|
been playing sc1 since 98. was good way back in day where i just 6 pooled ppl all day long and was uber gosu (not)
Since then i kinda quit (got involved with diablo, cs, mtg (lol), etc...)
got back to playing SC, mainly UMS, playing a lot of micro games and impossibles. joined clan xIMP, then joined TL... starting watching pro SC, got really interested. I like the theory behind the game though my hands were never fast enough (170 apm peak).
Would like SC2, because i'd actually take this seriously. I want to test myself and see my limits.

I'd love to finally be able to actually try out the game I've been watching nonstop on livestream and ustream for the past months. I bought Starcraft in 2000, played through the campaign, never even thought of trying the multiplayer mode. Then in 2008, I somehow came across a video called "JulyZerg vs. TheRock - Sauron Zerg". I remember my jaw dropping when I witnessed the beauty of July's control and macro in this game, I couldn't believe that was just one guy playing it (of course I had no idea what macro and micro meant back then, but watching the minimap in that game alone is impressive).
So after seeing the beauty of the swarm as demonstrated by a seasoned cerebrate, I decided to dust off my copy of Starcraft, found BroodWar in some German game magazine and my journey into the best RTS of all time began. Luckily I had some friends in school who also played and were just as noob as I was, so we were mostly messing around and having fun, playing FFA's and whatnot until someday I discovered TeamLiquid.net
Before long, I came across that name again: JulyZerg. I was still in awe of his skill and the discovery that there are more players like him out there, complete with a professional e-sports scene and big tournaments with a live audience. I started watching VODs (not many/no livestreams around back then) all day, I became more of a spectator, but I seriously loved every aspect of it. I stopped playing anything else entirely for about half a year, watching replays and VODs whenever I had the time.
I learned what Muta micro is and why it is so important, I learned that Scarabs can be real bitches from time to time (hello Much!) and I learned what the word Tushin meant and why it fits July perfectly. The morning he won the EVER OSL 2008 (it was a morning in Germany anyway) I just started giggling like mad and fistpumping at nothing in particular, I was so happy for him, getting the golden mouse after his long slump.
Of course I played a few games here and there, never made it past D level on ICCUP, but I'm trying to change that with the release of Starcraft II. After all, it will be a "fresh" game and I won't be joining in 9 years late.
So, that is my story and that is why I'd love to try out SCII beforehand, just for the sake of not missing the start of all of this again like I already did with BroodWar. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone.
