I think the information is wrong. Kevin M. Johnson (Community Manager SC2) twittered that the 2nd wave of invites will be going out this week..

09/10:

Max Ossadtchii ‏@Ossadtchii
@kmicj i'm dying to get my hands on HotS #beta Any idea when the next wave of invites will be send?

Kevin M. Johnson Kevin M. Johnson ‏@kmicj
@Ossadtchii The next wave is going on this week. I'll post when its gone out!


9/13:

John ‏@grunHD
@kmicj I thought another wave of beta invites were going out this week?

Kevin M. Johnson Kevin M. Johnson ‏@kmicj
@grunHD they are!

yep..but for us europeans "today" probably means "tomorrow" due to the time shift :/

It's only 05:00am Friday in Irvine CA. Theoretically the week ends (in my opinion) on Sunday.
In Australia or EU, Sunday for the Americans is like Monday to us, so we may not see this next wave till then. (Although I assume they try to keep big stuff like that to business hours roughly)

Fuck knows what criteria are needed to get in, I've played a few games, rated some arcade games and posted on the Blizz forums but my PC specs are probably really common :/

I wanted a key, but from seeing how hots is so far, I'm pretty indifferent towards getting one.

There is definitely an element of that for me too, the unit design of the Warhound (balance aside) really is disheartening.

Watching the painuser tournament really turned me off on the game. I know those players aren't the best, but I was really excited to see a new game. It seemed more like a WoL game with auto-mining and terrible maps. Every other aspect I have seen on HotS has been people building a unit a couple of games on streams and then saying "well, that unit is kind of bad." I had planned to enter the cheerful contests with some original art I had drawn this week, but I'd rather someone less indifferent won.

Okay, how did we go from "Mass Warhounds and 1a them to victory" to "They don't use any of the new units anyhow" within a few days? *scratches head*

HotS is awesome. Hope y'all get a chance to try it soon. Don't listen to the doomsday prophets or the naysayers -- it's fun as hell.
