 I'd say the standard "I've been waiting for this for 10 years.. huge fan.. etc...", but I have a hunch that that's not too uncommon around here. I will say that, while I'm not very experienced, there a quite a lot of unorthodox things that I'd like to attempt when I finally get my hands on a key. That and I can laugh at my friends and their constant bashing of the game and their belief it won't come out. | ||

EDIT: I'd also be playing on the US/EU servers. I'd rather play with the TL guys than have a lower ping :D | ||

You're pretty much a god for doing this give-away, heh. May the best man win. As i'm sure you can see, this is my first post on the TL boards. I am a long-time lurker and i've managed to keep my mouth shut until now. I haven't really had an urge to make an account because i've spent the last seven years playing Warcraft III and WoW competitively, and obviously don't have a beta key to play SCII with. I would therefore not have been able to provide anything other than conjecture and unfounded opinions to this community. I am going to try to appeal to your pity and explain why I would be a good choice. I'll start by saying that I have been a Blizzard gamer my entire gaming life. It started with diablo and warcraft as a little kid, and I have continued to play every single blizzard release fanatically since then. I've probably done the starcraft and warcraft campaigns (1,2 and 3) more than most people, and i've probably logged in more hours online than at least half (I only say half because I don't wish to underestimate how much others play). I have tried to get my hands on every beta for a blizzard release I could, but to no avail. A friend, who plays maybe once a week, has managed to get his hands on pretty much every beta so far, and from time to time I was able to play on his accounts across various games. Sob story aside, here is why I would probably put a key to better use than some others: I actually test the game. I would guess that the large majority of people use the beta as a means to play the game before it is released. In every beta i have participated in (through a friend's account), i have spent countless hours number crunching, testing random strategies, trying to find exploits, and giving feedback to blizzard. I have tried earnestly to help improve every blizzard game released in the last 12 years, and I would like an opportunity to do so with starcraft II. With that being said, I don't intend to imply I wouldn't have my fair share of dinking around and enjoying the game, as testing server stress and ladder match-making is also part of the beta. I have been an avid fan of the starcraft e-sports scene for a long time, and have nearly sacrificed my final exams these last few weeks to watch the live streams of just about every tournament out there. Also - I have been a clan/guild leader in SC, WCIII, and WoW. I tend devote stupid amounts of time to networking and creating a community online I have a large circle of friends and acquaintances that I will be getting together upon release, and could really use an opportunity to start getting the feel for things on Bnet 2.0. In conclusion, I am absolutely salivating at the mouth to immerse myself in this community, as well as tinker around with the game. I am a very devoted gamer and I feel I could contribute greatly to,(at the very, very least) the discussions on these boards. I apologize if you were looking for a smaller block of text. Good luck picking out who to give the key to. I hope whoever ends up getting it enjoys it as much as possible. | ||

I want a beta key so bad, I have been plating SC since 2002 and joined TL.neet in 2004, its been a hell of a ride but I want to change. There are no gamestops or preorders in Peru and I haven't been lucky enough or had enough time to win one in the contests... I you give me a key I will be your training buddy or 2v2 buddy. Cheers | ||

This TL web sight is buzzing with people that want a slice of a terrific game. Its raining beta keys but still, only a small amount of people will get a chance to play it before its officially released. i suppose we all want to be apart of the magic :D So why do i want a beta key? To play, to enjoy and to be part of this developing game. cheers | ||

Anyway I loved SC1 and SC:BW since it came out (98 - yr 8 at the time). I played it like daily and still played it in yr12, even went to internet cafe during my final exams. I just joined TL but have been watching VODs and reading forum for years. I still play BW since I can't get beta keys. I am always too late for the beta contest, but thinks its great. I watch VODs and streams of SC2 games daily. I still appreciate your generosity even if I don't get it. I don't see many others doing this kind of thing (outside of TL of course). So thanks and good luck to whoever gets it. | ||

All of us signed up for beta...............NONE OF US got a key. We would like to play and practice and hopefully start up a clan if we could or at least get good enough to play with a clan. Most of these guys play SC:BW back in the day pretty seriously but then moved on to other games like most gamers. But with SC2 in beta, all of us are itching to relive those Broodwar days. Also, I would really like to contribute to TL with SC2 advice for new players. I was late in playing BW so to there was so much learning that I didn't have time to post anything. But since I'm here for the launch of SC2, I might be able to give insight into SC2 for new players upon it's full release. I actually wanted to make a blog talking about a new player to RTS games and give tips to other new players on the learning process. BTW, i think it's very generous of you to give your key to TL members. I couldn't say that I would have done the same if I were in your shoes thanks! | ||

I played BW ladder (though was never as good as I'd have liked to be) but I live for the competitive spirit in games. Winning, losing, insane battles and close calls, that's what make video games for me. I've got several friends in the beta who I'm looking forward to practicing with if and when I can get myself a beta key, and I'm excited to do my part in finding out those little unit details that make the SC world go round. If you are looking for a future practice partner (who has a lot to learn but is extremely eager to do so) or just want to feed the need in a fellow starcraft junkie, I'm your man! | ||

In Australia is where I spent most of my days. Riding a kanga, relaxing all day Playing some starcraft, blowing my stress away. When a band of Blizzardians, believing they had impunity Started giving beta keys away to the community I got in one online battle and my mum said I was a silly mamalian, She said "LOL Blizard won't give BETA keys to an Australian." I wait for release, and as it draws near The US preorders gave out "BETAS" and it makes me sad to look in the mirror. I could only deduce that this rouse was quite prejudiced, But TeamLiquid.net was giving out keys, And my mind said: "Yo holmes I'm enticed!" I wait for scavenger hunts until 6am Because I know that they aren't a scam The sun is rising outside but I know I'm not silly I just wished that right now I lived in west Philly  | ||

 I won't ask you for a key, because I think, here are a lot of people who are looking for a beta key much longer and more desperate then I do. Just wanted to say: very nice character trait and good luck to everyone  | ||
