So I've just made a few announcements in one of my videos, one of them being that I am going to be giving away a SC2 beta key shortly before beta begins.
For more details you can watch the video here:
In the video I also announce the new website that the team I am on is launching soon: http://www.StarcraftCast.com
cool. subscribed! (i'm LastFalconFan on Youtube). i'll definitely check out some of the WC3 commentaries you do. I use to play that game a lot and enjoyed it. 2nd favorite RTS to Starcraft. =p
Subscribed, I'm Kagez there, I did that before seeing this actually heh. Would love to get a key, but more important, if you pick my name, i'll wear your name to all the LANS in India! and talk about you to over 1 billion people!

Every beta key given away since WWI has been able to register for the SC2 beta.. I am certain they are aware some people are going to blizzcon for the sole purpose of getting a beta key and won't disappoint everyone.
In the HIGHLY unlikely event they don't give an SC2 key, I will give everything in my goodie bag to the winner instead.
*Random* giveaway means you guys have no influence on who will get it, neither will he. So please...
Clever marketing, though, I'll give you that. Not gonna subscribe, as that's something I only do if I think the content is worth it, and haven't got the time to check if you pass, but yea... nice idea.
Hmmmm subscribed. You have a very soothing voice. Good for casting :D
I'm thehunter942 on there. Don't mock me I've had that since I was 10 :< still, very generous grateful for opportunity even if it's probably 1/32000 so not holding my breath here lmao

Haha what's wrong with the name "thehunter", kind of boring but nothing wrong with it.

Comparable to the lottery, although the "income" will go towards kudos and not education! EDIT: ... and hillbillies who inevitably blow the cash. But yeah, I doff my cap at the idea.

I think he's referring to how I gave people the opportunity to get more chances to win the key if they promoted awareness of the contest for me.. it's in the video comments.
And he may also be specifically talking about the fact that I asked people not to create threads on teamliquid.

Also:
Karune: The WWI keys were not originally intended to be used with StarCraft II. After further consideration, we wanted to add it as a bonus to the beta pool, so give those who have not used their keys a second chance to partake in the beta process. The BlizzCon 2008 keys will only work with StarCraft II beta, so please use it now, or else they will be useless after.
They'll probably be using a new algorithm. But it might still be sc2 beta keys...

Imagine if it isn't for sc2.. they will be likely announcing when the beta starts and what the keys are for in the same speech.. I would expect a LOT of boo's if the keys aren't for SC2.
Like I said in the off chance it isn't for SC2 I will be blown away and unload the entire goodiebag on the winner.

If the Blizzcon beta key isnt usable for Starcraft 2 I must say that I will be very upset.
To use the sort of terms that Dustin Browder likes: I would be the Pyro and Blizzard would be the Medic.
This thread is so funny. I don't know how many countless people in the tl community have completely tore up any random FPVOD maker, commentator, or WC3 player. To see all 3 in one is hillarious, and then to see a thread full of WOW UR SO GOOD NICE VOICE UR GOOD AT WC3 WOW LOVE UR VIDEOS SO MUCH just because of a beta key is even funnier. I wonder how much of this the OP is actually taking seriously

Basically yes
false. Oversky has dignity
In the sense that he's obsessed about becoming a youtube sensation and fpvod maker. They might go about it in different ways, but I have yet to hear Combat say he has dropped out of school/quit working to go pro youtube celebrity like Reach McOversky
Heh, I dont really care, I just hate the shameless self promoting he does, "Hoho! Subscribe to my video's, I'm going to drag out these handcam blizzcon videos for months! Check back daily!"
