Posted 15th Jun 2009 11:13 AM by Medievaldragon

Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime announced a few weeks ago at the Activision Blizzard Conference Call during E3 that StarCraft II Beta would start this summer. Today, the Gaming Press Sites awakened fans with the news that Blizzard has contacted all of them by email to alert them to set up their Battle.net account by Friday, June 19th (deadline). Does this mean beta starts this weekend? A week later?

The answer is not that simple. No date was provided to the press, but it is exciting to know it is gonna frag everyone any second after June 19th. It is interesting how the news got leaked today, which marks the last day of school classes throughout United States. Something fans should know is that, around last month, the media was invited to visit Blizzard Headquarters this June 22nd. The OCRegister Blizzard Blog among them.

StarCraft II Beta is imminent. Are you ready?

* Crave (CNET)
* Kotaku


Can it be only a week away??


So it's kind of a press conference? or what? did blizzard just invite the media over for some coffee?

So I guess in a couple of hours we will know what blizzard had to say so urgent.

Yeah Blizzard has a big press conference with a bunch of gaming sites on Monday (tomorrow) it looks like. Its 10:30 pm Cali time as I post this, so expect some sort of news in about 16-18 hours... No telling what the news will be, but we'll see.

Very very hard to say, the little sc2 beta picture seems kinda random and ugly why would they add it. But besides that the picture looks reallly there is seriously NOTHING that makes this picture look like a photoshop except that little ugly green beta picture in the corner I think. I'm totally not an expert at this =p. Also one of the repliers The_Earth from when i was a noob at battle.net forums is pretty trustful from what I read 0o.

AND also the fact that the site went down for maintenance + the press conference it all adds up. I wouldn't be surprised if beta would come this week.

ORRRRRRRRRRR

It is just a fake and I got my hopes up again but I don't care at all because i rather feel happy that beta could come tomorrow then the feeling i have to wait for another month.

the only thing that looks possibly fake to me is that that t and a in beta are 0 pixels apart. the fact that the e and t are 0 pixels apart isn't out of the ordinary as many combinations of letters + t are 0 pixels apart on that page (the capital s and t in starcraft for example). still im leaning towards fake

Yea, I noticed this on the battle.net forums earlier today. Interesting stuff, though whether it's real or not is a different story. Until I hear something from Blizzard themselves I'm not going to get my hopes up. There seems to be heaps of people on various forums posting "evidence" that it's a fake.

see .. there is no way blizzard is just now putting up a beta forum.. pre alpha beta has been up for like months.. so there has to be a legit forum they have been posting on.. just doesnt make any sense.

Plus the blur.

If you want to show some proof, you don't want to use bad image quality.

Yea looks fake. Forum ID 12209? Another Link said that the

A Forum is always there, it's easier to lay out ground points, feedback and internal affairs on there for easier access then just have a bunch of notes to the meetings n such, also the friends and family beta people need a place to talk on, so a beta forum is always there.
