Update: A poster on the sc2.178.com forums claims to have taken a picture of this announcement that's been posted in a lot of Korean PC Cafes saying that the beta will return on June 28th

Again, I can't vouch for authenticity, but it seems legit from a cursory examination.

PlayXP claims Blizzard sent them a private press release, stating that the second phase of beta is to be expected at the end of June. The pink high-lighted text is the relevant portion.

Apologies if this was posted before.

dreamhack is june 19th-21st.
there are still 2 qualifiers left.
And FA tells me that DH has always been in a tight knit relationship with blizzard.
Granted there might be technical issues but i expect the projected date for "phase two" is something like june 17th at the latest

I don't understand Korean, but yes, they appear to be dates. The day Beta started and ended are there, and I don't get the middle two dates, but they were probably big patches (content ones?)

The last one is 6, without a numerical date. So, sometime in June, obviously in the future. Here's hoping this isn't complete horse crap! :D

Even without a statement from Blizzard, isn't that what you would guess anyway? Any sooner and it wouldn't have made sense to take the beta offline. Any later and they won't have time to get enough relevant data to draw conclusions.

I'm just saying, Expected end of june is quite a safe guess. I would be more impressed if they said next week

I hope that this is true so that we can have WGT SC2 kicking off!

but i think i've readed that somewere in the beta forums... that the beta would come back between the end of june and start of july...

but on june 17th... that's sounds good since Bnet 2.0 must still be tested if they are going to add chat channels as they said.

And rofl at artosis jajajajaja. get a girlfriend! and then dump her when phase 2 begins :D
