anyway, it's hilarious to think that some scrub was uploading stuff to the blizzard website, and accidentally updated the BR#2, when it was supposed to be released the day before beta or some shit, and he screwed up blizzard's plans, and now he's getting yelled at, at least thats what i hope is happening for them teasing us like this -.-

sort of proving a part of my post. whoever held their breath for that is dead by now, eh?
and sc2 is a bit higher on the priority list than sc ghost was, right? it'll come when it comes.

Blizzard betas have never had NDAs.

Starcraft's 11th birthday, it's disappointing they didn't do anything, not even a wallpaper lol The 10th anniversary is a lot bigger of a deal then the 11th and they didnt do anything big then, so why would they do something big on the 11th? That just doesnt make a lot of sense.
Because the beta is closer to the 11th aniversary? But nevermind, I'm just throwing random stuff on the thread.

That map would be horrendously terran imba in BW. I really want to see how it plays out in SC2.

The reason it is small is that it is a 1vs1 map. How many 1vs1 maps did SC and BW ship with? And how big were they?
I'm far from an expert but from what I've seen, the vast majority of 1vs1 matches played in comps are on 2vs2 maps, which adds to the need for initial scouting so you know which if the 4ish start locations your competitor started at.
Does that sound right?

Same with the first BR map probably

You've gotta remember Blizz runs these sites as different versions on different continents, which is why they are often updated at different times (example: the cartoon contest entries show up like a week late for the .eu site by my experience). They probably uploaded the BR2 to the US/EU/whereverithappenedtobeavailable servers and accidentally made it available when it was not ready to be launched on other servers. They're aiming for a simultaneous update.

Went up at around 5:10 PM(PDT) their time and stayed up for around 15 minutes.

Lame its looking like we gotta wait till Monday. Oh well I bet its just as crappy as the first battle report anyway.

Really, are you going to play starcraft 2 or are you just complaining to complain and nothing else?

Looks like the map has 3 levels of terrain. The mains and watchtower things are higher than the rest of the map which is higher than the high yield mineral expos.

You get to see SC2 in HD and check out the new unit abilities, they aren't claiming that these are the best games ever played.

I'm willing to bet they'd be more interesting without the play-by-play casting. Those guys obviously understand the game better than us but holy *** are they annoying. There's a reason Tasteless is generally preferred over Cholera in SC casting... because he isn't the ****ing sound track. We understand that that one stalker just shot the marauder, and that the marauder shot back, and that eventually one of the two will die. WE HAVE EYES AND BRAINS. STFU!
Sorry, just venting. Point being that meta-game commentary is way, way more interesting than A: 'oh fack taht SCV just blewr up!'; B: 'hurr I kno! it was like, "kurplasshhh!"'
Also I don't hate Cholera; I sorta dislike the format but overall he's good. Somehow the Blizzard guys were able to crank up the annoy-o-meter several times over with the play-by-play thing.

Dude I don't see why you have to bash on them, they aren't making the BR explicitly for people who follow the proscene, I'm sure a lot of people loved the commentary and reguardless there's no excuse for bashing them so hard..
Blizzard is really doing a great job and it sucks more people don't appreciate it.

In what way?
... like I'm awful for poking fun at nuisances or awful because you disagree? If I'm awful because you disagree, then I think you misunderstand the definition of the word "awful".
