I realize that but I still see no reason to start up Beta in ONLY pc cafes 4 days before everyone else.

Well if you realize that, then that's you'r reason. It's just marketing and business. Let's say you have a product that everyone is dying to get/try/play, then if you are the only one that offer the product 3 days prior to anyone else, you will get huge amount of customers because you are the only one offering the product.

PC bang being blizzard partner, the fact that they get access to the beta 3 days before everyone means that during those 3 days, every single Korean sc2 fan will be playing at their places, so huge benefit.

I don't know how you can't get this. And to the Why ? well simply because they are blizzard partners therefor they must have some kind of agreement leading to this, blizzard must be profiting from this as much as PC Bang.

It's just the law of the market and how to make money for PC bang while promoting the game for Blizzard and probably leading to more events/agreement for the future between those 2.

If it is indeed true that Beta will come back on the 1st, I will be so excited I might fail my driving test that day. Here's to believing!

hey guys, if i'm repeating this news, please forgive me.

i was on youtube the other day checking out the well known HDstarcraft's (or might have been huskystarcraft) channel and he mentioned something about a match among 4 professional players(TLO included) that's going to happen this coming sunday, which is the 27th. so the rumor about the beta coming back may be true.

or not. well let's see.

That stuff was recorded before the beta went down and saved for 'beta downtime events', just like the Day9 vs Tasteless showmatch.

I'm pretty sure this is a pre-recorded show.

i think blizz will give us a week notice (or more) to get everyone amped and excited and to create a near pre launch scenario where thousands are logging on at the same time. so im a little skeptical of this article because this is just kind of springing it on us, and would be like oh yeah the server has been up since yesterday you didn't notice? just doesn't make much sense..

I doubt it I don't think they did when the beta was first announced did they? All they said was "will launch this month (february)". Then it was released 1 random day
