Sorry if somebody has already pointed it out, but didn't blizzard say that:

1) Phase 2 will last for 2 weeks

and

2) Phase 2 will end 1 week before the game release?

So 6th of July should be the beta relaunch?

Newsflash, phase 2 is not done for our entertainment, but to test some aspects of the release of the game. For the majority of sc2 players, the wait for phase 2 is a non-issue. In about three weeks we will all be playing the game, so you can cry epic fail all day long. :p

For the people who are still freaking out about making burrow T1, it will not cause burrowed moving roaches that much faster at all. The zerg player will need to make a queen, research burrow, tech to lair and then research burrow movement. Even if the zerg skips the queen until lair, that could be done anyways. So having burrow as T1 only really effects lings and drones, and does help roaches recover health a little bit. I think that is fair because roaches should be able to be healed earlyer in the game, expecially if they cost 2 food, thus requiring more overlords to be produced faster.

In response to the whole "Phase 2 Opening Soon" thing...

Blizz said they'd inform us -ahead- of time, not -when- it was time. They haven't. It's not today. Might not even be tomorrow. Hell, it may not even be Blizzards Trademarked 'soon.'

They also said that Phase 2 would close, '.... about a week before the July 27th Launch.' Not exactly. About. As in, we were given estimations, not solid dates. The 6th, as someone else mentioned, is probably a safe-ish bet, but by no means a good one, or else we probably would've heard something from Blizz by now.

Hate to be a downer... But at least you won't remember this post after the Beta goes up... And hey, if I get flamed for it, all the better... Especially if the Flamers end up being right and justified, because that means we'll have the Beta back up!

Source? I would've thought if they'd said that people wouldn't have been throwing 6/28 and 7/1 around all the time.

I'm pretty sure blizzard never said it will end 1 week before release. They did however state 2nd phase will last about 2 weeks.

I'd like source as well. I don't recall this so it would definitely be awesome if they narrowed it down even further

I'd post the source, but I can't seem to find it. However, there was a blue post in the starcraft forums that said that there will be a few balance changes to come with phase 2. If I can find the post again, I'll gladly link.

Apparently in Korea if you registered to Bnet during 6/11 through 6/30 You get a free beta key for the 2nd phase closed beta at July 9th. It also says 100 people will get a free t-shirt and 50 people will get GeForce GTS 250 at July 15th.

Beta will probably be after July 9th
