Yeah that's exactly what I thought too, Vipers seem pretty awesome and they get so much energy so quickly getting energy from your own buildings.

Drewbie is now playing some player who has no idea what are the new HOTS units. And he gets a beta???? There's no justice.

ViBE and Drewbie already started streaming the Beta as well as a bunch o other ppl like Torte De Lini. Just make sure you also check the WoL page on Twitch as a lot of the pro players forgot to switch games played xD

Unfortunately that will probably be a waste, as keys are sent out in waves, big waves so if you didn't get one already, you probably have to wait until the next wave.


ahhh this is very true. sad Face. Also, wtf. Vibe is playing, and some Protoss decides to void ray all in or something lol nothing like giving out those keys to people who wont test anything out.

I feel your pain....all too well...8000 SC2 games played since it came out, been masters since the 1st season Masters was even available. Never took any breaks, but apprently playing custom games, is how they determine one's worthiness of beta access.

I'm angry about this too, I have like 3-4K + Games in WoL beta, 9-10 K + games in WoL alone... and they choose people because of an arcade beta, makes me so mad at blizzard and sc2.....

and also like others have said, high masters every single season since season 1 ...lol.......this is so pathetic, makes me think about even quitting SC2 for good because i'm tired of going through this, I probably wont be able to pay another 150$ for a beta key like i did in WoL... There probably wont even be any keys even if I was able to, this is one of the most dissapointing days of my life!!! Give me a key blizzard Please!!!

Why? Because Masters players are the only one's with opinions? Most people got to Masters by cheesing their way to the top. And now a lot more are using 3rd party programs to keep themselves a top Masters.

Don't be so upset that you didn't get a key. Even if you never get one, everyone will be able to play the game soon enough.

I agree I thought the arcade beta contest stuff was ridiculous.

lol I'm masters myself, but why would you be entitled to that beta just by playing good? They want to have every skillregion represented which makes a lot of sense actually.

Soon Enough? what does that mean? Its blizzard, who knows how long beta will be up for, and who knows when they will release the damn thing anyways.
