Recently, several news sites have reported that Blizzard has sent an e-mail to several game writer, notifying them to register a Battle.net account by June 19th. One of the sources of this news is the gaming website Kotaku which had this to say:

Quote by Kotaku
Blizzard is starting to gear up for the StarCraft II Beta, the company said recently in an email sent out to game writers.

The email, which asks game writers to make sure they have a Battle.Net account set up and a request in, says that Blizzard has no date yet to announce for the start of the beta. The email ends, however, by saying that all Battle.net account login info for game writers needs to be sent to Blizzard by June 19.

Sounds like reason enough for me to start getting excited.

Other websites that have notified the public of the same thing are CNET and Gaming Shogun. However, due to a lack of an official confirmation, the possibility remains that the e-mail is an elaborate hoax. We will keep you updated on the matter.

Special thanks to Mr.Edgeworth, Darcy and Oin for discovering the news. Thanks also goes to Perfecttear for providing additional sources.

A poll in an sc2 thread, yah! (although admittedly it's not a SC2 poll)

Also, you don't need to sign your posts on teamliquid. It says your name above your post. People generally think you're conceited when you do that. Welcome to the site.
