Can't get one in China, and I can't paypal anyone to reserve me a copy. Really sucks.

How does post count equal contributing?
You are basically alienating newcomers to the site (Which you should be glad for).
I agree, some may be browsing the site for beta key lurking only. But most have come with Starcraft 2 launch being pretty close.

I myself follow many sites, and and recently this one, however I haven't been here for months/years so my post count is low.

On the other hand I don't know much about the game (Since I don't have beta) so there is no way for me to make decent posts about it. But spamming random posts with a common replies for me to be eligible for a beta key contest just defeats the purpose of contributing.

Not all of us are forum posters. We don't all have super-important-stuff to say but we still enjoy the site, use it, read all the forums (as a lot of posts are indeed very interesting) and watch the live streams, or even betting with liquibet.

After attempting about 10 contests here and most keys in all of them being rewarded to people with higher post count I really feel unwelcome.

You can have a high post count and not contribute, but you can't contribute without a high post count. FWIW, most people here with over 1000 posts really do contribute a lot, because if they weren't, TL would have gotten rid of them. It's not really this site's goal to make you welcome. It's to provide in depth discussion about SC, and for those who follow the korean pro scene. Not to hand out beta keys at the door to every tom dick and jane that has a passing interest in SC.

If you want to stay here, study wikipedia, and improve your game; welcome. In the mean time watch VODs, get on ICCUP, play BW and be thankful that such a community exists.

I have to disagree with you. You can certainly contribute with a low post count. By your logic this guy here shouldn't deserve a beta key, since he has only 1 post count, right?

I do agree people who have contributed to TL should be given priority, but post counts are an inaccurate way of determining contribution, especially between newcomers. Those who are new to the scene usually have nothing much to contribute, thus there isn't really a difference between having 100 posts, 10 posts or 1.

mcneebs completely missed and proved my point at the same time.
Thanks for understanding uNPro.

I'm not saying I'm here only for beta, because I'm not. I'm mainly here for forums, map scene and vods. I got the theory pretty good so far ready for sc2 . And I'm not a newcomer to BW. However I see no need to get in ICCUP to be allowed to be a part of this scene.

And I realise it's not this site's job to welcome newcomers. But being friendly to people is admirable.

South America and Asia added to the list.

If you are in those countries and have access to a key, don't try to grab one.

Edit: If you are in S.A. or Asia and try to grab this key and I research after pulling your name, I will be very upset that you tried to scam someone else on TL that had a legitimate chance at getting a key they don't have easy access to.

Please be mannered.
