The HotS custom tournament was hosted by sc2tv.ru. They also gave the price pool. There was no english stream so HD casted the replays.

Dunno about next week, i remember everyone was saying, after MLG lol. Maybe when the season ends? But ya, I figure no point in really worrying about it because odds are we will see another MLG championship before the beta happens lol.

Next week will be 2 weeks after MLG, so I don't see the problem. :D And the season ends on 4th September, so next week seems to be pretty accurate(I hope).

I thought the season lock was the 4th, and season ends on the 11th...?

ya seems quite logical, also they forgot to turn on the ladder lock... seems like they heavily working on the beta right now... so should be out soon... but unfortunatly i guess there will be almost no chance to get a key this early...
|
remember when they said it would be in july? lol
|
"Hots beta to be released weeks after MLG", welp maybe it´s not the MLG they meant but it may be true.
|
Thinking I might have a good chance of getting a beta key, I submitted a ticket about their system spec prog not picking up my graphics card on my MSI GT70 because of the wierd nvidia optimus technology. They replied saying they really wanted to test that setup with the upcoming beta !

its looking like a december game guys.
The beta seems like its going to be a 3 month deal once its made public

Well they initially made the statement about beta starting in the "weeks after MLG" before MLG Anaheim so everyone assumed it would be out long before Raleigh lol. Either way, with everything lining up next week seems like beta might be close. We'll see next week I guess.

|
SERIOUSLY hope that I get in. I was in the SCII WoL beta and I got addicted REAL quick. Lol. Can't wait.
|
I suspect when they see just how ... some of the units are in HoTS the beta will be substantially longer than 3 months, I'm thinking 4 or 5.
|
WTF blizzard.
So someone in the community makes a cool mod that imitates some of the features (not all though because not all have been announced) and now you want it to go away so only those invited to a close beta can get some experience with the expansion...F U

So I guess this will be it for the mod, I will say though that it's been a good run, and much of where the mod is today is thanks to all the feedback you guys were able to provide. I hope that everyone made the most of the opportunity they had, and looks forward to doing the same thing in the real Heart of the Swarm some time in the near future. I am glad that I was able to work on such a project and provide people this great opportunity to experience Heart of the Swarm.
As far as my map-making ventures are concerned. I have an entirely unrelated project called Micro Match that I still need to finish, which hopefully will be out sometime in the not too distant future, but no deadlines yet.
So thanks again for all your support, and I hope you make the most of these last moments before the maps go down. Seems like we are getting close.
Rofl... That's so stupid. They are like "yeah we only want closed beta to play not even a mod is playable!" Thank's blizzard so now when I don't get in I can't even play the mod to keep me calm -_-.

I think the simple reason is that they dont want people who are playing the Beta to play it then when its a bit unstable (because its the Beta) then decide to go play stable custom game and deprive Blizzard of valuble testing people.

Oh it for sure would have been pulled down at release but thats probably not reason they pulled it now then.

I remember people saying it before MLG Then it'll be as soon as MLG ends. Now here we are, months and weeks later.
I'm taking the high ground and playing brood war until it is officially announced ^_^

Meh, I actually don't dislike the move, however I do feel like it was maybe a bit unnecessary. I think Blizzard want people to have a legit fresh experience once the beta comes out for them and not have it tainted by some dodgey second hand custom mod.
