Ok, i got two beta keys from gamestop and i'm already in beta. I didn't want to be selfish and just put them away while there is so many who want a beta key. Now, I heard some ppl are having problems logging in and I have not tried them so i'm not 100% sure they will work but i'm pretty sure they will. After the two winners get their key all I ask for you to reply here afterwards and let me know they worked with no problems.

Please tell me why you should get a key and if i feel that you deserve it I will pm you with key and please don't beg.

I seen some ppl giving them away like this, so if this is against the rules please forgive.

Remember, i'm in US so I don't know how it will work for EU. But I think you just need to download US server.

Ok, I selected my winners and they got their keys, they are...

Sorry for who didn't get it, I only had two.

I've played SC since I was in 2nd-3rd grade (in 12th now) don't even think BW was out then. Was always playing on B.net and found TL about a year ago.

If the keys are "us keys" then I think they just need to be used with the "us client" which most of us know, is easy to get with a little googling. I have a bro in the US that used an eu key and client.

Actually the only difference between the eu and us client is one folder. I think I saw a post on here about how to switch it from one to the other, without having to DL a whole other 1+ gb file.

I already got a beta key from gamestop today but my friend is grounded because me and a few friends got drunk at his house and acted stupid. What can I say I wanna give him a beta key since he has no money. There is a limited amount and I don't want him to miss out

I don't think I deserve your key. plain and simple, its too good for a noob like me. Someone else more deserving needs it probably. Its a great thing you're doing though. ^^

I have been a long time lurker and Starcraft is my life; well most of it that is. The StarCraft community is some of the most mature and intelligent gamers out there, and StarCraft is what I feel is a place I truly belong to. Now with SC2 close to release, I would love to play an amazing RTS and play with my old friends an outstanding game. I feel like I deserve this key because I have a huge love for this game, and because I'm so attached to the people that play it.

I'm not particularly interested in SC2 Beta myself, but my little bro's 12th birthday is coming up, and I think a beta key for him would be a great present.

edit: Seriously though, my friends that I frequently game with much prefer to play Brood War despite having beta keys, and I'm one of those few that think SCBW is much more fun to play. However, I think beta would be more fun for my bro to get into, especially as it will inevitably become the "game of his generation" in the future.

I have never played SC Brood war before, however i am a big RTS fan. playing RA2/3 W3, the total war series profusly. I opted into the beta on my battlenet account too see what all the hype was about. Few weeks ago i stumbled across husky / HDstarcrafts youtube channel, been watching every match they upload since then and have been trying to buy a SC2 key in WoW :>. I live in australia so there are no beta keys for pre-ordering so i have been looking everywhere to try and get a key, and because i do live in Australia most of the contests on this site are at 2am-10am so im usually missing most of them.

I'm a comp. sci. student and I would like to take a look at the Galaxy Editor (I don't think it's out in the beta yet, but I'm pretty sure it will be) to develop interesting games.

Also, StarCraft was my first game ever as a child. I'm a poor starving student and can't pre order the game and would really like a chance to play it.

That's pretty awesome of you kyama.

I have been a starcraft fan since it came out in 1998 (got it then, and played it on my 300 mhz machine). Would be nice if I could try out the starcraft 2 beta and experience the game while it is still in the developmental stage.

I have tested out starcraft 2 in the single player mode against a single computer, but I am sure the multiplayer experience is completely different.

I've been playing sc off on for about 8 years. I really got into the pro scene 3 years ago (die hard Bisu fanboy. I started playing sc with a bunch of my friends around this time too. None of us have a key unfortunately. With this key you'd prob be giving about 5 people the chance to experience the beta for the first time. I've been with TL for a while and think that I have contributed a lot. I just crave to play this game so badly. Whenever I watch a Day 9 daily about it or a match I just want to experiment and have some fun.

Very generous thing you are doing and I'm glad 2 more TLers will be getting a key.

My friend gave me a beta key and said that I will love it more than he does. He was the one that got me into teamliquid and the one that ruined my life (Haha) and I want him to enjoy it too. I feel terrible for using my life as a sacrifice instead of his.

Well, I'm in a financial crunch and can't really afford to preorder SC2 from our local gamestop. To make matters worse my PC came back a few days ago from a good friend who decided to upgrade and fix my busted gaming PC; of course he installed Win7 and I can't even play SC:BW now properly because of it. I'll find a way to fix that though (the whole Win7 ordeal), I've heard about the affinity issues Win7 has with SC.

Other than that, why not give an aspiring programming student a chance at enjoying SC2 while he's out looking work for to buy the game as soon as he can. :D

I would love a key because I have enter countless beta key contest and have been unlucky in all of them. I opt-in hoping to get an invite but never received one. I have been a blizzard fan ever since I played Diablo, Starcraft and a little of Warcraft. Blizzard makes the best game in this world. With a beta key, I could play my most favorite blizzard game that I have been hoping to play since the unveiling of Starcraft 2.

I would like the beta key. I am donating to you my 100th post, isn't a beta key the least you could give me?

jk of course. My real reason is that I am getting married soon, and I am trying to explain starcraft to my fiance so that she will be more accepting of my playing video games ^_^

I have been practicing SC1, polishing my skills for over a year, to prepare for sc2 and I would really like a chance to get a head start before release and hopefully reach my goal of becoming pro. I feel like a missed the window on sc1 scene and I would really like to get in early on sc2.

Like many, I've been trying continuously to get hold of a beta key and have had to simply be a spectator the last few months. I want to finally be the guy playing rather than the guy watching. I may not be as experienced as others that may post here, I only started watching commentary during the GOMtv event last year but feel that with Starcraft 2 being a new version of Starcraft, I finally have the chance to excel at a comparable rate to the players around me and be part of the community and culture. I think I'm starting to overdose on commentaries and streams, I was even dreaming about Starcraft strategies the other day XD, yet have no outlet to actually experience some SC2.

Thanks.

Im a long-time lurker of the TL forums and have been playing Starcraft since i was a young kid. A lot of my friends have keys and have been playing BETA for a while now.
Iv been trying for ages!!! to get a key through give-away's, comps and trivia on both TL and other sites without success.
Also Australia feels the need not to get Pre-orders yet so im still stuck watching streams and videos to feed my Starcraft hunger and pass the time while others are able to get them using that avenue

Because I'm a med student in his final year of med school, with a really busy schedule and the little time i have free I mostly spend watching SC2 replays and streams, contemplating builds and strategies, analising the metagame, and checking my mail every day for an invite from blizz (which will never come).

I think kyama just became quite popular

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.

My desire to play Starcraft has been renewed with the launch of the Starcraft 2 beta. I have been waiting patiently for a key but I figure I may give a contest a chance at winning one. Plus I want to play with my friend in 2v2 since he bought his beta key!

I'd like one becase I live in China, and can't go to gamestop or EBgames. I'm also usually in bed for most of the TL giveaways. I've tried posting in contests, making logos etc. I can't really explain more than that. I feel like keys are being handed out left and right now, but I can't seem to get one. I'd gladly go reserve a collector's edition SC2 right now if I were able, but I can't.

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

While I have not contributed as much to teamliquid as many people, I have been a lurker for a while and would love a beta key. My dedication to all things sc related is shown by my impressive C- iccup rank (playing kor hours!!) and my 3728 liquidbet score. While I may not seem like the most deserving candidate, I have helped many people enjoy the wonderful experience that is sc1 by teaching the basic BOs and pointing them to TL and hope you would consider choosing me.

Hi Kyama.

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.

Thats very cool and kind on your part.
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

I want a key because I've been part of this community for a very long time, and now feel almost "left behind" from all the Starcraft 2 "happenings". I've helped out with Starcraft "Pimpest Plays" from SC Legacy, and was Editor-in-Chief over at iCCup; so I'd be able to make very good use of my own beta key including helping out and organizing various events across the newly developing SC2 community.

I'd also like a chance to truely unleash my awesome skills on an account of my own :gathered from playing on friend's accounts, watching livestreams, and following sc2 strategy forums.

Why i should get a key? hmm well my reasons are probably no greater then anyone else's. we all just want to play the next game that will most likely be a big part of our lives. I think its all the excitement and mystery about "Will it play like the old BW?" "Is it faster?" or "Can i play it 8 hours straight, like i did with BW?"
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

I think I deserve a beta key because I sprained my right ankle from a game of basketball like 3 days ago. And now my foot is swelling and there are some bruises around it. I havent gone out of the house for the last 3 days, Ive been just trying my luck out with the beta key contests and having my head explode trying out r1ch's quizes. So please, for my sprained right foot, give me a key.

Ive been playing SC since 2001, and a lot of my friends are already in the beta.

Anyways, you should hook me up because then i can create more fun things like this thread that people can read and ponder implications over

Hey Kyama, great of you to be sharing your keys - speaks volume about you. Well I'll nominate myself, although not sure I deserve it more than others - but that's up to you to decide.

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.

My group of friends that plan to play SC2 consists of about 10 people whom would be very serious gamers. If I include the friends that might be playing then that would total able 15

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'm interested in a key!

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 Bel-Air, California, not born and raised
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
Fear is a product of imagination.

hmmm maybe i deserve it because it seems like i don't have the neccessary luck to win in the other contests. fml.
and even if i "win" somewhere i get a key that was already used. fml.
beside that it's not possible in germany / eu to get a beta key by preordering sc2. fml.

would highly appreciate a key <3

btw thanks for giving it away though. seems like a lot of guys have keys left and don't give them away. that sucks T_T

Wow, giving away keys for free while everyone else is selling them on ebay is really generous - thumbs up

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

I just joined to try and get this key.

I am from New Zealand so it is TOTALLY impossible to compete for keys and I can't get one like EVERYONE else through pre ordering with Game stop

I have been following teamliquid, battle net and sc legacy for three years now since this SC2 was announced!

I will let you practice builds on me all day long

PLEASE

All my gamer friends are in the beta and I feel left out of the fun. I've been trying hard to get a key through the TL contests, facebook contests, twitter contests, scavenger etc. However, I have yet to get lucky. In iccup I've reached C, athough it was 2v2 rankings (because i always have friends to play with), so this means the key won't go to waste on me (i have nothing against newbies getting keys, I just mean I won't get bored of the beta and stop using it after a week)
i play on iccup under the same name

I'd like a key if you have one to spare.

About me: I'm an old vet of teamliquid (really active back in 2006-2008), back when mnm and jkillashark used to be frequent posters. I've been trying to get my hands on a key for quite some time (various contests and raffles), but unfortunately I haven't been able to get one.
There's crashing?

Hi Kyama.

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've recently given up on Starcraft: Brood War, seeing that it's way way WAY too demanding on people to keep playing it. I'll play it occasionally, but I really don't have a purpose anymore to play Starcraft until Starcraft 2 comes out. A key like this would really get me back into Starcraft, or hell, even RTS's at all.

Thanks.

Can i please have a key my goodsir, i have joined every single competition from facebook to computergamesandvideo contests to forum treasure hunts and still no luck got tied with a bunch of guys for the liquidpedia hunt #3 competition just yesterday and have to try again in order to get a key.

i've probably watch almost every single replay in sc2win website and have constantly played against ai, in hopes of actually being able to play the game on bnet to try all the stretegies i have thought of.

I regularly tune in to glhf.tv everyday as well as day9's show and orbs' show and also watch lz gamers live stream whenever its up. I have gone as far as to try an entire day entering keys from a bunch of sc2 keygens i have downloaded.

I go to sleep every night wishing i could be in bnet right now pwning face, and the only thing that allows me to sleep at night is the though of me might be getting a beta key when i open my eyes the
next day again.

Currently i have 300 sc2 replays as well as 5 different sets of ai to play with, the only think that is keeping me from dying inside is the occasion ai who says gg at the end of every game that keeps my hope and dreams alive.

In my country somewhere in asia, no shop sells sc2, nor do they have anything remotely close to pre ordering. Will you be so kind as to provide me with a key so i can finally be living my dream and move 1 step closer into making my nights less sleepless.

I have 24 cans of redbull right beside my table lying in wait of the day i get the game in my hands. I hope you can give me this chance and may the gods bless you for being a kind soul, and know the little think you did make a big difference in someone elses life.

Also i would like to add i have a very keen enthusiasm for map modding as well as shoutcasting, having a key would enable me to stream sc2 as well as commentate on games and replays, people that left the most memories in my head are cholera as well as diggity and i hope to in some way follow their footsteps.

And to end it off, i know i have no luck in winning competitions, but just know this sucker right here, will jump of a building break a leg, swim a thousand miles, just to get a key, i will not rest till i get one, i will not, because if i end my passion for the game, i might as well die.
i love you

I totally agree with what he said, the fact that you are giving them away to tl shows me/us that you are awesome! I really hope you find someone you can give the keys to that will use them well.

I feel like I deserve one due to my love and desperation for the StarCraft world. I have checked my email for the Beta Opt-In eMail for 4 months, apparently nothing has come in yet. I would really love to play StarCraft II, for playing StarCraft for years is boring me. I am a really serious and competitive player in RTS games, as well as well mannered. I promise I will use this key to my full extent if I do receive it!
Good luck in your contest!

I'm in college and swamped with work lighting a show (14-16 hrs of work a day), so it's pretty impossible for me to notice contests in time to compete with them. The show ends on saturday so I will have copious amounts of free time to spend, playing beta would be awesome.

Hey, I've only played Starcraft for about a year now, but I instantly fell in love with the game once I started. I wished I had started playing the game much earlier since it truly is the greatest game of all time. It's hard explaining it to people who don't play the game, but it's just so different from and beyond any other game. I get chills whenever I watch pro starcraft because it really puts into perspective how special this game is. I'm so addicted to starcraft that I watch basically every pro match even though I have to stay up uber late into the night. I've been really frustrated lately since there have been so many opportunities to win keys, but I never happen to be available when contests are posted. If I get a beta key I will definitely put it to good use and play as many games as I can. I have been watching starcraft 2 streams every day and feel as if I am so close to the game yet so far. Waiting and waiting has never been so painful, but I know it will all be worth it once I can finally play the game. Thanks for holding this giveaway Kyama!

I played SC1 for a while with friends and family who enjoyed video Games. Recently my father passed away and me and him used to play SC1 ALOT, I mean, we would stay up late at night and play against each other and it was just alot of good memories that we had. When we found out about SC2 we were so excited and constantly just waited for a chance to get a Beta key and play the new game. I can only imagine how excited he would be to be able to play the new game. As you can probably tell, i dont have a key and this is probably my only real shot at getting a SC2 Key. I just hope that somehow I can get a key and play the game that I love.



I also would like to thank you for giving people an opportunity to gain a key in this fashion its really admirable.
I Love Team Liquid!

I actually make maps. With the galaxy editor coming out, I'm really looking forward to playing around with it a bit, but lack a beta key to get it with. Here are some samples of my maps.

[image loading]
[image loading]

Or two of my blog entries that you may find entertaining.

Being Korean and living in North America, it really pains me that I cannot play the SC2 beta. I feel like I am lacking the Starcraft that is akin to oxygen for the South Korean gamer. The pain I feel at night knows no bounds. My heart feels like it's going to be torn in two every morning I wake up and find that I yet have no beta key. Would you please lend a hand to this tiny asian boy who asks just for a set of alphanumeric symbols that allows him to obtain a StarCraft 2 beta?

Terribad to be trying to win a key on the first post, but I figure I might have a shot at this. I have played sc(vanilla) back in 98 in my school days got to know some awesome players back then and was part of my local community, played again for extended periods later on but never with the same intensity. have been delving in other rts for a long time now, am a long-time member of the Gamereplays community and rediscovered my Starcraft passion recently, hence why I just made my account here lol.
You see my dilemma is, if I pre-order from Gamestop(And I'm hoping to get a key that way tomorrow if I can't get this one or any other contest of course.) I'll have to ask them to deliver it to me here in Brazil(tried sending to a good friend's house on the US and Gamestop said I must send it to the billing address.), the shipping fee is another 60 dollars, and my wonderful foreign department will want to tax me on 60% the original product's price, I'd have to pay aproximately 156 dollars for being in the beta and getting the game arguably a week later than everybody else.
I don't know if I deserve the key because I happen to be in a backwater country but it sure makes me feel bad that I'm not playing right now.

Now I want to play SC2 beta seriously but there is NO WAY to get a key from SEA for now. I want to test my strategies which I have been thinking since SC2 beta is out which watching Husky and HD Hope I can play beta soon with your help :D

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.

Hi Kyama.

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 feel teh same lol, and as well as about the guy with ankle, because I've had that happen, and your literally stuck with crutches, and a tenser bandage, no walking whatsoever, today i'm stuck witha weak left or right, i forget which, but it hurts like hell when something minor happens, this is because i didn't have the motivation to sit still as told to by the doctor, an SC2beta key had he had one back in 2006, would have helped greatly. LOL

I deserve one because I would have preordered yesterday, but gamestop has no option for PayPal and I have no credit card!
Besides I loved Broodwar ever since (played even Warcraft 2) and played TFT...
Thx for sharing a key and gl to everyone

I refused to sit around waiting for a key. I have tried my best in the various contests, but I have no luck. (or rather no talent =/ ) I would love a key for me and my friends to share, none of us being beloved by Blizzard.

(48 words)

Also, in the event that invite-a-friend mail comes again, I will definitely contribute any beta keys back to TL.net.

TheAntz definitely deserves it. He contributes the most to TL out of anybody in this thread. Like he's being funny and making some MS paint comic but if he were to list the reasons why he deserves one he'd probably win anyway. He's just too awesome to be a lame-o and list all his achievements and stuff.

But if you don't give it to TheAntz you should give it to me instead

He did give me a key and it works. I'm very thankful. Not going to make a huge deal about it, but I am very excited.

What your doing is awesome. I've been trying to get a beta key for my buddy indecisivepenguin for a couple days now with no success. He is a great guy and has been competing for a beta key for a long time now. Lol he seems quite modest so I'm sure he won't be explaining why he deserves one so I'm going to try for him. Check out his posts and see if you feel like he is qualified in your eyes for one of your beta keys. Thanks and if you do feel as if he is deserving enough PM his account not mine. I'm sure that would totally make his day if he got on after school to see someone donated a beta key to him. O and just to clarify I don't need one. I got mine from pre-ordering my copy at gamestop. That's why I've been trying to help him get one lol.
All I can hear are thousands of children screaming imbalance.......
