Hey guys, I didn't see a compiled thread for beta key giveaways/contests so I'm starting a new one. Basically giving away a beta key that somebody gave to me back to the community. The eligibility rules simply require that you are subscribed to my channel. (Feel free to unsubscribe after). It's pretty basic, and I'll let me video explain it out. I'm hoping this post will deter others from spamming the teamliquid community with the contest.


Thanks again for all the support, and best of luck.
My channel is youtube.com/hdstarcraft

(If mods feel this doesn't warrant a new topic feel free to close.)

For some reason I thought you were Husky or Inreach. What's your account name on SC2?

The intent of this was not to leverage more subscribers. I simply have a beta key that I want to give away back to the community.

I hope it didn't come off that way.

I don't know who you are on youtube in relation to TL, but I will just send the beta key through youtube's messaging system.

Is that why in your video you tell people they will get extra "raffles" for spamming forums

oh god now you're looking for a job or someone to pay you money to plug their company

I'm not interested in getting into a forum argument, I'm not forcing you to participate in any way.

I really really enjoy your youtube channel and I love what you are doing for the people who don't have SC2 Beta, but I'm not sure how I feel about this. You basically said in the youtube video you are encouraging people to spam forums about this contest and it feels like a semi-cheap way to get viewers. Not saying that was your intention from the beginning, but that's definitely what it comes off like based on the video.

Asking people to subscribe in order to have a good pool to send the key to: Sounds OK
Asking people to subscribe, as well as spam your account on "well traveled" forums: Sounds like you're trying to artificially gain more viewers.

Like I said I really enjoy your videos, keep it up! But I don't think what you have set up was the best way to go about this.

I see what you mean sith. In hindsight, the system I have will make users prone to spam forums. I added some rules to the contest which disqualify those who double post on a forum. I hope this will discourage users from spamming, which was not my intention.

Thanks for the feedback sith, I respect what people here at TL think.

I was already a subscriber. Does that mean I get double the chance of a key?

EDIT: I really really want one.

What I'm wondering is... who is HD Starcraft? I mean, what do you provide, etc... your post gives no info other than "watch this video and subscribe"

If he's trying to get more subscribers, I fail to see what the problem with this is. HD makes accessible to all with an internet connection good games in top definition.

People employed by Google for posting videos on YouTube make BANK for doing dick all.

I'd rather it be someone like HD making money instead of the other idiots who appear daily on the most watched videos list. If I see another make up tutorial, or some retard talking how tired they are from walking around with a camera filming them-self, and then uploading it to YouTube, my head will spontaneously combust.

I upload videos (as often as I can) of the Starcraft 2 beta in HD. I've been around for about a year (mostly lurking TL forums), and started uploading vids of pro Korean Vods, but switched over to SC2 once beta came out.

I'm not established in the community as others (aka Day9, tasteless, etc who are far superior in knowledge than I am) but I am trying to "come up" so to speak.


In other news, I actually just received another key from a user. I'd like to promote another contest that rewards people less randomly... Perhaps a bake a cake contest like TL had a few months ago? Any suggestions? ^.^

Hi, I am Newguy. I just subscribed to HDStarcraft's channel, because hes a baller. I'm posting it because it gives me better chances in his raffle for a beta key woot! Since TL gets like 22,000 views a day or something maybe i get lots of raffle chances?
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

I cant figure out if you're trolling, didn't watch the video or just aren't very smart.

When I click on subscribe it says that the channel available is HuskyTheHusky, is that correct?
