-----
Hello,
Dr. Kennigit (PHD) here from the Kennigit Institute For Advanced Beta Release Studies (KIABRS for short).
As some of you may remember, through months of research, math, and science i predicted that the Starcraft 2 Beta would be announced/launched on July 17.
Those of you who missed this scientific revelation may review the evidence here

The friends and family beta is out. June 28th, 2009 I was visiting Blizzard HQ and I was given a Key. I was visiting many devs for interviews since I have these gaming devcredentials that are yet to be utilized. I got offers from the devs I visited but I'm leaning towards Ubisoft Montreal's offer. From June 24 to July 3rd I was visiting devs for scheduled interviews that were planned ahead.
*email edited out* said (10:49 AM):
Beta Keys were also rolled out to the Press Late last month in order to reserve there ID handles and a small string of beta keys were handed out July 2nd to the friends & family beta. I had hands on time with SC2 at Blizz HQ.

Conversation between me and a friend on MSN...
Here we can see that some guy was applying for jobs and was given a beta key when he went to Blizzard HQ (wtf Ubisoft Montreal over Brizzurd?!??!!....a significant source of error). The most pressing information is obviously that the friends and family beta has started. We've known that an alpha build was being tested company wide for the last couple months and F&F betas last anywhere between 1 week and a month. The average of 1 + 30 is 15.5 or sumthin and of course one must consider the natural Chaos that is Blizzard release cycles.
From FA's thread that i jacked
There have already been a few confirmations from other people. o.O Show nested quote +Little heads up, Just confirmed with another person that they are in the friends and family. I'll be happy to post info about battle.net if possible soon. Talking to them now on MSN Show nested quote +The information I can give now... there IS an NDA on it. (Duh) It runs smooth so far. My friend has to resort to playing computer because there's a slight shortage of people on the Multiplayer aspect
That's all I got so far.
July 17th

your logic has a massive flaw

I'm starting to think you guys have known the date all along, and releasing it as a silly joke has just been one giant charade  I will laugh my ass off if they release it on the 16th or 18th

All three of those scientists look similar to three of my uni professors

Carnac don't be jealous of world of fame i am about to enter with my work. SC2 will probably be banned in Germany anyways.

What are the chances they do release beta on the 17th just to make Kennigit happy?

I talked to a few people from different sites who were at the press conference who all had similar experience of
"X said they were hoping for some time within the next month"...that was at the end of June.

(wtf Ubisoft Montreal over Brizzurd?!??!!....a significant source of error). Do you understand how baller our city is?
Maximum baller.

OMG He has a picture of offical-looking smart people! At first I thought this was a joke but now im not so sure....

Just wait, the release it to the US first but not Canada...

Guys, it's called FRIENDS & FAMILY beta for a reason...
Apparently, you can get in by being one of their "FRIENDS".

BLINDED BY THE MAD SCIENCE OF ESPORTS

Mmm... I just hope I can get to play beta.

Just change your pic to a really hot woman.

Are we under the impression it just started today? Or it's been going on for a few days ...
I guess we can look forward to July 17 for realz now.

This.
After this thread, I'm half convinced Kennegit knows the release date from a source other than his "science" hahaha

Science never lies, but there is almost always some margin for error. Being off by one or two days is an acceptable margin of error.
|
I ask again, is TL going to give me a birthday present on the 17th?

I'm definitely skeptical about whether or not this information is true. Two lines of hear-say and a post from SCLegacy being all the news we have about this is very sketchy.
|
so is beta active atm or what? i know some people that have keys and they say they cant use them yet..
|
woot Science solves everything!

Those are basically the same day as the 17th, what with time zones and all.
Science.

I believe the first wave is North America and Australia. I guess that does not include Canada

Well, now the SCL thread got closed. Some guy said he emailed Blizz's PR team and got a response saying it hadn't begun.
|
It was closed, but then again I wonder why they trust an e-mail from a random poster and not the random poster who started the claim. Need a more official rep to speak directly about it.
|

My skepticism is confirmed!
Although I shouldn't be excited about that because that's another step farther away from beta D:

Same. It should be really easy to find out of there's a PR guy at Blizzard named Bob though
And it's a little weird that he blocked out Bob's last name.
Also the OP has 1000 posts on that forum and the informant has over 100. The guy claiming to get denial from Blizz has 1 post -_-

EhSprots siwence riules

If the beta is ready, then I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard released it on the 17th just for the lulz.

UGH!!!!!! It just has to start the day I'm going to be gone for a week up north! qq =(

Should send Blizz an email telling them to postpone it till the 19th so it doesn't interfere with SoCal 4
