Firstly they are obviously better at the game and don't whine about silly things that lower leagues would do, eg "PROTOSS ONLY A MOVE COLUSSUS AND WIN" type comments. Secondly they are probably more open to giving feedback as they are more dedicated to the game than other players to be retaining their position on the ladder. Would be funny if only Masters would get keys (if ranking system stays the same). Some masters would get bronze, silver and so on. ^^; I think master players should have a higher percent chance of a key as you said, but a good mix is probably something blizzard wants since they often want the game to be appealing to the masses as well. | ||

Because that would actually test the watchability of the game as well ( I'm looking at you warhound, we don't take kindly for folks like you ). That would depend on if the beta is under nda, if it is, then you won't be able to stream. If it isn't, you'll be able to stream. | ||

But im not that exciting mostly because ive never been lucky enough to get into a beta . Oh well, revive the Beta Roulette!It'll be after Raleigh. So probably 2 weeks min, a month max. I'm excited! And I tested 1.5, so I have a better chance at getting into the beta. :D | ||

I don't want to see that about the oracle from a bronze player who doesnt even have enough scvs to kill the bubbles or marines. | ||

They can't keep it as only masters, that's suicide on their part for the fun aspect of the game. Obviously masters players have better input on balance, but they have to make sure the game works for everyone. In the DotA 2 beta, Valve specifically stated they wanted a wide variety of skills in players for the same reasons. What I'd prefer is if they could somehow give preference to people who have consistently been playing the game. Not in number of games, but having a fair number of games played for each season since release. People who are at least devoted to the game. It would suck to have some guy who plays 1 game a season get a beta key. | ||
