Hi! I would love to have a key, because I got really hooked into this community. About a 1,5 months ago I did not even know that such a thing as Starcraft II Beta exists. One day I was just randomly browsing youtube, where I picked to watch HD and Husky's dual commentary on some random game. I watched it, then watched another video, then I subscribed. I continued watching their videos and they kept repeating TL and TeamLiquid. I decided to check out what it is.
What I found totally blew me away! I have never seen such an active, friendly, creative and smart community before. The wealth of information here got me very interested in the game. I started watching Day[9] dailys, watch livestreams, follow tourneys and enjoy the strategy discussions. I have already decided on my race, build order, strategies for different match-ups and many other minor things. I got really into this game, without even playing it.
I tried getting a beta key, but most competitions were/are already over. Pre-ordering for me is not an option, and I am not going to beg for a key, no matter how much I would like to play this game.
So this is my reason. Hope you will consider it.

I, by calling every game store near me, entering every online competition and raffle online, and of course going for the opt-in, was lucky enough to receive a key from a very nice person on this very site. I have been enjoying it immensely but, unfortunately, not all can share my good luck. I've been letting my friend come over to play on my account, but he lives far away, and its getting really hard for him to keep coming over. He's a way bigger fan of the game than me (he played the first, but I didn't), but no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to be in the right place at the right time to get a key. Although he keeps trying, he's getting more and more demoralized. I feel a bit guilty that I should get to play so easily, while he doesn't, so I've taken up calling all the game stores nearby (even some in another country), and of course going on to TeamLiquid.net and Battle.net to see if I can find him a key. It's his birthday coming up very soon, and if I can get him a key for his special day, it'd make him happy beyond words. By making him happy, I'm happy, and if you, Smorrie, could just send me a key to give to him, it would make both him and me happy beyond words. Please, and thank you.

My ex girlfriend and I used to live together. Her family used to respect me and treat me as their son, surprising given that they are Korean immigrants and I am caucasian. One of the things I used to do to connect with her family was play StarCraft with her father and her brother. I taught them the basics, watched progames with them, and played with them online. Throughout the past year we have gone through a lot of drama (we as in me and my ex). We don't live together, but recently we both realized we still miss each other. She goes to the college we both used to go to, but I am not there anymore - I live close to her family right now still. I think that if I got a beta key, I could reignite the connection I had with her family despite being a college drop-out. I could do the same things with them with the beta that I did with SC1. That would make transitioning back into a solid relationship a lot easier, with her parents approval. As pathetic as it sounds, I think she is the only thing that kept me sane, clean, and responsible. With her: went to an ivy league school, got good grades, had a steady job, didn't do drugs. Without her: sell drugs, no college, no solid employment, got arrested and had to spend my life savings on a lawyer for a court case tomorrow (trespassing at an abandoned psychiatric hospital and possession of weed). I know that these are all factors that I and I alone had control over, but I also think that I do these things to run away from my past. I have traveled around the states and lived in many areas, escaping from the pain. This might be the best way out for me.
This is all true btw, I have evidence if you're curious...
Thanks for your generosity btw (:
