Does 'average' here mean 'once I play then how long do I play' or dividing my total play time by number of days I have a beta key?

I probably play 1-2 hours a day and watch sc2/read sc2 related stuff for another 2-3 hours. Days with big tournaments like Saturday and Sunday I may watch 6 hours of SC2 content :x

I should be playing more, but I almost like watching high level games more.

I've only put about an hour every few days into the game during the first few months. The past few days I've been clocking about 12 hours everyday. I wanted to get 2000 points by today and I'm at 1900. I might be too tired to keep going though
I've played about 100 games in the past 3 days.
Wishing you well.

2-3 hours a day now but I actually didn't play at first. I didn't like SC2 when i first started playing because it was so stressful and I wasn't used to playing such a intensely multitasking oriented game (previously played WoW up to 2200 in arenas and lots of League of Legends) plus... I kind of sucked at it being stuck down in the silver range but now I managed to get up to 35th in my plat division and I am enjoying the game a lot more so depending on how much time I have in the evenings SC2 has really grown on me and generally gets all or most of it whether I am watching pro replays or doing ladder/custom matches.

well i went with the "if u play how much do u play a day" option, and not the "divide your total playtime with the number of days u have had beta-key". Its so sad i have my exams right now( why oh why did i get my key so late!!??:S

the reason i only play tops one hour a day is because I'm drowning in school work right now so I think its pretty amassing that I can find almost an hour a day to play sc2

Depends on the homework load. This week I have 2 AP tests and a massive spanish test. I was analyzing poetry for 15 hours (taking time off to eat and stare into the distance of course) on sunday for english class. Of course it wasn't even fucking due because she moved the due date ON THE FUCKING DAY IT WAS DUE.

Anyway, when summer starts that number will easily jump to at least 4 hours a day. Probably more.

I should play more but I generally only play an hour or two a day. It's not that I dislike sc2 I love it to death but between the tournaments,tl's streams and work I just don't get time and when I do get time to relax I end up watching the pro's play or catching up on the bw leagues. I'd play more if I had more friends playing I think.

I get nervous when I play SC2 and can't manage to play more than a couple games a day, if at all. Sometimes I can only bring myself to practice BOs against the computer. I dunno what's wrong with me, I don't really give a shit about my ladder ranking or anything... I had the same problem trying to play on iccup, though.

3-5 hours a day.

This also includes watching replays though, it's not continous laddering.

6-8 for the first couple weeks, but way <1 for the last month, heh. Overall, it feels like I've played/watched BW a lot more than SC2 since getting beta (less than a week after it opened).

Dropped to almost 0 for quite some time now, the game just feels frustrating in certain positions as a Terran and allowing very very very... limited micro.
Like Blistering Sands !%!&! Backdoor or infinite Forcefielding. Its soooo annoying.
Or the unability of terran to stop certain protoss pushes like 5 gateway against expansion.

It's just those stupid thingys that I feel absolutely powerless against.
I'll defenitly return to my attempt of learning broodwar.

Starcraft 2 (And BW) is a really stressful game for me and I only play around 5-6 games a day usually. It's like... I enjoy playing the game and it's super fun but losing (especially to ridiculous things, like cheese or just huge fails on my part) makes me SoOooOoOOoo mad.

You must be a good gamer, cause Blizzard made this game attractive to newbs. A bunch of fools will hop on the bandwagon for a year or two, than something else will come out (D3 maybe) and theyll all jump ship to the new wagon. If only Blizzard was smart and put the attention on the gamers who made BW the game it has been for the past 10 years we could have a really great game here.

I dont play it anymore. I was really into SC2 when I first got the chance to play because a friend got a key. Later he gave me his friend invite key and we started playing 2v2. But somehow I just got bored of SC2. Maybe because I was playing Zerg but to me it just seems so limited.

Im already back to watching SCBW vods all day long. Sometimes I watch some SC2 tournament vods but I guess I have to wait for the release to see some real development of the meta (from boring to exciting). I even have a friend invite key on my own now and I just dont know what to do with it. Maybe Ill give it to a friend so he can try it out but for me SC2 is just another RTS : (

Depends on how much my schedule overlaps with my friends. If we're all online I can play for 3+ hours. If I can't play with friends, I usually don't play at all.

2-3 hours probably. Although since The last reset I've only played 40 games (+ maybe 6 custom).
I've probably spent a hell of a time on the map editor though, which i guess counts.

The poll isn't very clear/proper, since 1-2 hours would mean 60-120 minutes, and 3-5 hours is 180 to 300 minutes.

My point is that there's a gap between the hour ranges - It should be 1-2 hours, 2-3 hours, 3-5 hours, etc.

This is just like me but I may be worse. I read about 2 hours worth at work, then go home to watch about 1-2 more hours at home, then play for 1-2 hours. I can only play 4 days a week so I put down less than 1 hour a day.

The SC2 maps sucks! All maps look the same with stupid ramps all over the place and not enough space to expand a base

BTW: Battlecruisers are a joke. They die as fast as the wraiths in SC1 lol...

I think I play like 5 hours a day or something. Not to fun when there is new changes occuring quite often. Saving the hardcore gaming for when the game is actually released

I played WC3 before. I didn't know anything about SC in general. I felt pretty excited about SC2 though after watching some streams and I wanted to try it out but then I discovered SC:BW. Ever since then, SC2 seems pretty boring to me and somehow I found myself playing and watching almost entirely BW games. I was prepared to upgrade my PC because of SC2, but now I doubt that'll happen.
Probably the worst player in the universe atm.

I haven't played for a week because of issues with my computer but when i do, it's 1-2 hours, on a hardcore day it's 3h or more. And usually i watch replays of my game after playing to learn from my mistakes.

Next interesting poll, only for SC2 beta key owners would be "Do you play more SC1 or SC2?":

SC1 vs SC2

0 - 100%
10% - 90%
20% - 80%
30% - 70%
40% - 60%
50% - 50%
60% - 40%
70% - 30%
80% - 20%
90% - 10%
if you are here give the damn key to me man!

eh, 1-2 hours for some days, 3-5 for other days.

I'd say 1-4 hours per day. I try to play at least a few games each day, but I don't think I've ever done more than 4 hours in one day o_O

I play around 1 or 2 hours a day and maybe 3-4 hours during the weekends. Most of the games I play tend to go into a stalemate whether it's from playing against a turtler or both of us are the same skill level. Because of that, I take a break or stop for the day since I don't have the stamina to play like I used to back in middle school with SC1.

I would play pro if I had the time but I actually have a life... 1-2 hours a day. Once summer starts, I think I will be dominating everyone, but summer starts at the same time for everyone and they will be doing the same thing.... I will always be a pathetic n00b.
