I have 5 accounts on NA and one on KR and all of them are masters/ pretty active, yet none of them have received a beta key. It seems like EVERYONE ELSE has gotten one but me.. the guy with a billiion accounts who has supported blizz for years..

I dono, maybe it's a false impression that everyone has gotten an invite except for me. But some of my friends have (they only have 1 account), one of them is GOLD league.. Just feels really unfair and leaves me angry and mad at starcraft. /endrage

So easy to say when you're in.
It really hurt to watch day9 play ladder against bronze league scrubs in the reverse funday the other day while so many good players don't have keys (myself not included but I would still love a key )

I don't have a key, relax. The only reason it seems like everyone has a key is because everyone with a key is talking about the beta. Everyone without a key on the other hand isn't saying anything, whining for a key is probably looked down upon. Its a case of the "vocal minority" Although to be honest I don't know the size of the minority.

He isn't really whining about not having a beta key as much as about the method blizz uses of choosing the players that get in. A much better method would be to give keys to gm and top 2-4 masters in each league on all servers. Then to increase the size they just go top 8 masters then top 16 ect. That would be perfectly fair and create more competition on ladder.

I had a guy tell me he's never played SC2 and got a key because he played WoW since its inception.
Food for thought, it's not those who are the most devoted that a key, but everyone else who will receive one. As stupidly ambigious as that sounds, you shouldn't count your credentials to interpret why you deserve a key, but rather find the reasoning why you haven't gotten one yet.

It has nothing to do with your contribution or love of Starcraft. That's like losing a running race and blaming it on the colour of your running shoes. Apart from celebrities/pro players, they're picking people with a varying hardware and OS set-up because, and we can't forget this, the purpose of the beta is to beta test, not just for us to have some fun playing it.

Starcraft still loves you. Here's a virtual house to make you feel better:

Heh, I always feel like this when Blizzard betas roll around. Their always the ones I want in on the most, yet I never, ever get in them. Its always some crappy reason I get in at the end, like pre-ordering, or them giving everyone accounts for the last week etc. For once, I'd love to get in on the ground floor. Just once blizz, all I ask.

As mentioned, they give beta keys to different people where hardware plays a big role so its not about how many accounts or how much support you give them since they still do want to test the game over multiple hardware settings. I also haven't gotten an invite either but it's ok, I'll just wait

I know the feeling man. I've signed up for every fucking Blizzard beta in the last 9 or so years, starting from TFT. Never got in a single time.

5 accounts? SO WHAT

Blizz probably doesn't even know that this is one and the same person

Beta keys are not given away to make you happy, but to get a good overview on how the game behaves in real life. this means DIFFERENT HARDWARE and OS Settings for example, different skill levels is another one. You have five accounts but all on the same skill level and on the same machine. So you account for ONE.

That's the point. Among five, there is a higher chance of one getting in. Also, there are plenty of people on the same level with the same hardware who got into the beta, roughly.
