Rules are simple. If you have 500 posts or higher and do not have a key, post in this thread, and you will be PM'd a key.
1. Please don't ask if you already have a key. 2. Don't ask if you don't have over 500 posts -- this will result in a ban.
We will be checking to see if you spam to reach 500 in the next few days, so don't do that either. If there is not enough response, we may lower the post count requirement.
Cheers.
edit: If possible, please post in RED FONT so your request is easy to distinguish. There are a lot of posts from people not requesting keys.
edit2: you are welcome, everyone that said thanks -- but remember its not me personally giving these out, its TL as a whole so just thank the forum by being good members
After weeks of begging I got a key just today, and now you're telling me I would've been eligible for this one too? I don't suppose I can get a second one to share with some friends for some 2v2? I thought so. Well, not that important.

Why are people from the U.S asking for keys? Please don't deprive someone from a country who can't preorder just because you want an extra beta key for whatever reason.
I do not have nearly 500 posts. Never see I reason to post much on TL. If you aint got anything to add, you probably shouldn't post. This post is an exception.

This deserves consideration. You can get a key for 5$ at gamestop.com! And Starcraft2 while your at it!
and dont give me that you werent going to order SC2. You were.
==> Seeing how there aren't that many requests, here we go! I've been using a friend's beta account since day one and I'd like to be able to play when I want rather than when he isn't on^^ I'm lucky I can play beta on a regular basis to begin with but since many people seem to be served already, I guess I'll try my luck here
Basically, it depends what your criteria are and how many people really need one. Thanks so much though, whatever you decide!
Can't believe how few posts are in here. Congratulations and welcome to the beta to everyone who gets one from here. So I take it that now pretty much everyone in North America who wants a beta key has one now? Lol. In any case many thanks to TL for providing these.
Whoa, seriously? Gives me an excuse to fix my home computer if this is true
Edit: oh right, and thank you in advance. I should remember my manners Edit2: I'd like a key please. sorry, somehow managed to completely forget that part in the 10 seconds it took me to post this.

I would assume some kind of exception would be made for someone who joined in 2003 :p
Please PM me a key. Have been looking to get one of my own for analysis reasons for some time now. Thank you seriously, would be such a relief not to be looking for one and looking at competitions for one.
edit: Got it!! Thank you so much for this HotBid and TL!!
I am in the "sharing a key" camp and if TL has enough it would be great to have another so me and my friend could play seperately. I don't want to take the key from anyone who desperately needs one but if there's one I could have that would be great. Thanks in advance <3 TL
Wow, didn't expect such opportunity! I Have more than 500 posts so I guess I can participate here =], and I don't have beta key as well ofc (was trying to get one from a lot of contest, but failed everywhere ;/)!
Hi, I am almost 2k post here and been around for long as I can remember since the dawn of time in Korea when I first saw professional SC. Throughout the past year and so, I have tried to contribute a lot, made some achievements, accomplished goals whether they succeeded or not. Examples such as PL/OSL streaming of 2009, NSL, advices for english programs in Korea that people tend to post once per month about in threads, etc. Thus I feel I deserve a beta key. Thank you.
P.S. I have forgiven Pokebunny from that incident in the past so I will not proceed to beat him up if we ever do meet if I get a beta key. Thank you.
Hello! I am posting here to request a key! I have over 1000 posts, and have been a member since 2006 (and a lurker before that). My machine is very SCII capable, and I was surprised to not receive one via the opt-in. Thank you very, very much!
update: Key has been received! YESSSSSSS. Thanks again!!

Good luck guys. It seems it will take me forever to get a key on TL (especially considering my post count lol). Man, this ‘biased’ raffle is really aggravating…
congratz everyone!!! this really goes do the people that constribute to the site... i guess im going to do that my self now (have been selfing and took apart with out writing my self) becuse of this amazing stuff you guy are doing..
Mad props to hot bids and teamliquid that send out all the key..

not really, i like this one compared to any others so a bunch of 1post fags cant come in and queer off the beta keys
I already have a key of my own, but like others in this friend, I'd like to give on to my friend so we can play 2v2 together. I don't mind too much if get turned down.
If the 500+ post limit rule leaves you with some extra keys it would be nice if one of them would come to me. I 've joined the forum back in 2005, but even If I come here daily I post only when I feel I have something positive to add. ps: added something in red
Why did I have to be a lurker for so long..~@%&@~(%&* Anyway, I hope the next giveaway is done by join date (but not so long that I don't qualify ^^) Also, I already preordered SCII before they were giving away beta keys with it so that's something to consider to you people who say mods shouldn't hand out keys to US guys.
For those of you with under 500 posts and still need a key, I have a giveaway on a blogpost on TL.net here, it's for people in countries where you are not able to be simply handed a key.

Do you have one? I don't feel like giving one just so you can get a contest -- you might be able to get another 1 or 2 from friend invites if you already have the Beta.

I think by then keys will be everywhere and the beta will be almost over. It'd be a waste to give a key that wouldn't even be used for several weeks, sorry.
How can you get your post counter up, if you haven't got a beta key? I'm mainly a War3 player, so i haven't got that much experience in Starcraft 1/2,
I mean sure i can talk shit, about what i see on streams or go play illegal,but thats not a solution to really contribute something meaningful, something i can discuss and argument with.
So give me a key, and you will see my post counter rising without any spam!

No problem, I understand. My finals are in a week and a half though. Is that still too late?
If it still is, I'll give it to one of my friends who has been wanting one for quite some time.
I have a big starcraft family, 5 brothers + myself who have all played BroodWar at one point in time. I am the best player, but would like to see some 1v1 between my brothers. We have 3 computers in the house and 1 beta key. TL help?
I basically stole one from my friend who wanted to play but gave it up because he knew I loved starcraft. Technically I have a key, but I would like to repay my friend for his kindness.
ack, sorry i thought i would have 500 posts but i dont. man kinda sad to be a TL member since forever and no key but sigh.. the bad sides of being a lurker!
would like one even though I got one from TL's contest so I can give it to my gf who helped me win the contest :D Thanks TL! I'm at #1 platinum in my division now !

hi, I'd really like a key. recently picked one up in a preorder, but I'd like to get one for my best friend that I grew up playing starcraft with. would appreciate it if you have any left
As of this writing I'm slightly below 500 posts on this account, however I have an earlier one with a couple of hundred posts on it, so I believe I'm entitled to beg for a key
LoL 500posts? Isnt that a bit extreme? i have been a member on other forums for years, for example fragbite since the first month they started and im nowhere near 500posts there... I dont have a key and in this rate of posting comments i would have to wait for a few years until i qualify for this giveout=(

edit : my mind was faster than my fingers :S
I understand your problem in feeling that you can't really contribute because you don't play starcraft or starcraft II. However I feel you have to ask yourself whether you really deserve a key because, although it's not entirely your fault, you haven't contributed. The reason tl has these keys to give away is because of efforts of people who have. tl is a forum, Blizzard gave tl the keys because it respected the community made up of the posters, a community you've not yet taken part in. I hope you stick around because your request was rather more respectful than the one post "I want a key" ones but if the keys were meant to go to random people who wanted them Blizzard would have continued giving them to the opt ins.
Seems like this is almost asking for more spam, but I'm sure the mods would notice that pretty quick. Still like the idea, only wish I had posted more in the past!
Good luck to those participating. Unfortunately, I am a rather long way off 500 posts: however, I feel good about my chances for any future Starcraft 3 competition
Man, even though I don't have 500 posts, its stuff like this that makes TL so awesome! Now pretty much every prominent TL member is in Beta if they want to be, how cool is that!
Almost makes me wish I poste more than I do, but I prefer to try and keep my posts for when I have something thoughtful or insightful. Then again, I'm not that interested in beta to begin with, BW is enough fun for me as is and I still have plenty of learning to do there.
this sounds wonderful ;o never thought it would almost be this 'easy' to get a key.. very nice of teamliquid to do something liek this..
i'm obviously glad i have over 500 and it finally pays off ^ ^ i've always kinda been in reserve about posting though, and not really post in every thread just because i didnt wanna get boosted post count just from saying "omg yes" in liek every thread.. I normally post when i have something to contribute to the subject. or something.
So ya, hopes all goes well and congrats to all who have over 500 posts ;o <3 TL
aww why am i such a lurker? damn, thats sad.. but then again thats how i am.. i dont talk much but anyway, TeamLIquid.net for the win! Best BW community in the world! dont ban me btw.. i just wanted to express my feelings

I lurk since Thursday, 20th of February 2003 If a "oldest member with lowest post count contest" pops up i might win a key lol
I know I don't have many posts, but I read these forums daily ever since i found these forums I have been on here constantly when i should be doing other things. I know i might not get a key because of my posts, but I am just throwing my name out here for any possibilities.

Just quoting this incase you skimmed over it because it wasn't initially red (I had to quote someone to find out how to do it ). Although theres a fair chance it was ignored because you dont find it a legitimate reason, which is fine, just making sure tho haha ^^

Gamestop.com
Amazon.com
Too late I already got the key and am now about to go on b.net and download SCII! =) I can't wait!!! While it downloads I'll take shower and sing the old age song of no beta key for the very last time I'm in the shower =)
I've been around since 2006, yet my posts don't reach above 500 since I only post if I've got something valid to say( at least after I hit TL puberty)
I guess what I'm hoping for is that if there'll be beta keys left after you've given it to members with more than 500 posts. If that happens, please consider my >500 posts as something more than the likes of "1st", "Didn't read" etc.
Well I'm glad for those who get theirs, nice to see these things happening. I guess Blizzards pushing b.net 2.0s limits, the beta period is close to it's end.
Lol, same as the two posts above. (edit : and by above I mean the two guys with 470 posts) 500 is so close and yet so far away. Hopefully I'll find some contest that I can win ...
Love you Hot_Bid. May I have a key if that's okay?

Damn, that was fast. Quoted Hot_Bid: thanks to you, and thanks to Team Liquid for this.
This is awesome HB, I have a key as I stream and commentate but I just have to give props. I find it hilarious that this is happening while people are still locked from the roulette too.. what an evil plot.
Hey, I think I would like a key. I guess as per request I'll put this in red, but I'm not needy or desperate or anything. Much appreciation of TL for doing this.
I've been lurking here since over a year. I don't write anything, because my SC-knowledge is very poor, so I don't have anything to contribute. But I'm checking the site every day and have learned a lot! So if I'm not allowed in this contest that's fine for me. But if I could get a beta-key i would totally freak out.
First off, I have a key already. But since I have to share my account with three other people, could I please have a key anyway if possible? I'd really love to play some 2v2 with my friends. Oh, and THANK YOU TL of course!
Long time TL member and I'd like to have a key. I can sometime play a little in the morning because I have a friend who has a key so please give priority to ppl who can't play the beta at all. Thank you !
EDIT : Thx TLnet ! You rule as always See you on the beta !

Rules are simple. If you have 500 posts or higher and do not have a key, post in this thread, and Don't ask if you don't have over 500 posts -- this will result in a ban.
[/b]
not cool
im a ex w1 w2 sc1 player that loves to code/share maps (i pm'd tl admin already exposing my petty plead)
i work and have scarce time so uber participation (ergo messaging or even registering) is not a viable option but i do make time for hobbies (ie making maps) and would be disappointed by this tl attitude
one should be eligible from show of passion, strong interest, convincing posts and dare i say it : i've been heavily drooling over the discovery of the map editor (where a galaxy of maps and such awaits...?) for over 3 months (pushing on 10 years, well ... admittedly i peddled with the w3 editor for specs (that are already real impressive), but that game's boring... so if sc2's editor is anything like i've experienced the w3 editor to be like ... we are in for a treat)
i will gladly show my interest by posting lots of different ffa xplayer regular maps, globe type maps, an sc1 version of sc2, as well as a bunch of custom ideas i'd experimented on w2, sc1 and w3
sorry for persisting / insisting ... guess i'm banned then?
oh ... and don't worry i'll remember to wipe my drool off you if we ever get to meet in person
before i forget... this might be a moot point since i'm on mac and live in france and blizz does'nt take the matter lightly (ie the game might not even be accessible for me till retail?)
thanx a bunch for a cool site

I find this whole "post count based" criterium a bit silly. I have only been intrested in SC2 for about a month now, and found out about TL 2 weeks ago. Does this make me any less of a player then someone with 500 posts? Also its very hard to up your post count without spamming. Since I'm not in the Beta I feel like I can't really comment on 9/10 topics, since I never actually played SC2. Therefore I´m asking for a key anyway, ban me if you like.
I like how after Starcraft 2 beta is released, an explosion of new members that are either unfamiliar with or unwilling to learn about Starcraft 1 or neglect to post according to Teamliquid's usual posting quality occurred. No offense to those who were just lurking for a while before finally joining up or to those who actually take the time to post thoughtfully, but this is kind of ridiculous.

500 posts in 3 months? Really? I know that I only joined at the start of the beta and I'm still not to 100. Do people just slap down pointless one liners that often, or am I just really slow?

Good to see keys going out to the more contributing members. (500 posts without being banned means you at least made some acceptable background noise)
Would like to request one to give to my friend (the idiot asks me after I give my spare away...) But if no then that's fine (his own fault anyway). Thank you TL, you guys are so generous, I guess it pays to be a TL member!

This guy never came through with his contest. Maybe TL would be generous enough to give 1 key away to someone that entered into it. I vote for Jayson X as his was amazing although I think he can just request a key now. Just a thought. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=123167

Oh my bad, didn't see that. Can't blame a guy for trying! LOL
I thought he would atleast update the blog or something.
Edit: He even wrote "The top 2 banners will receive keys via, email and will be announced in this thread!". Sorry for my confusion/accusation but I hope its understandable at least considering they weren't announced in the thread.

I too would like to request 1 key for a friend He played BW and now has a hankering to play some to SC2 as well. If that's not ok, I completely understand, and thanks either way TL!
Requesting 1 key for a friend. I don't have my own atm, but I am sharing with another and don't particularly see a need to have my own account. So I am just requesting one for a friend who doesn't have 500 posts on TL.

I figure by now even though I already have a key, most people who needed one for themselves has already asked, so I am requesting a beta key for my brother. If this is not appropriate I understand, thanks hot bid.
Honestly, I wouldn't give out keys to people just so they can give them away again. But it's not my decision anyways.
I'm just really glad that this thread exists. It shows that it's worth it to be part of this community for a longer period of time. (Not that it wouldn't be without this thread. TL is awesome enough, but you get the point.)
I've been trying to get SC2 key for a long, long time, with no results, and... really, is it worth it?
90% of beta key contests are humiliating in some way: "Write a 30 page essay on why you're so special, or make some stupid thing in front of the camera, and then I decide if you are worthy of my key" - screw you, I'm not doing this, I'm the same person as everyone else here. The only contest I liked was the roulette, but I've been F5'ing it for 3 days, and it's always closed.
And there's this preorder thing via gamespot in some countries, but not in mine... "Well, nobody owes you anything, so why don't you just buy a key?" Well, since release will cost $60, I find it stupid to pay $200+ for a beta key, since most people get them for free anyway... I'm ready and willing (was ready and willing) to pay $10-15 for this, but nobody sells them at that price.
So why do I post in this thread, even though I don't have 500 posts and will be banned? I'm a typical forum lurker that reads forums for years before 1st post, there's no single forum in internet with 20+ posts by me... And english is not my native language, I'm writing this with a dictionary open. So why? To rant, of course, lol, to release some steam. At least, THIS giveaway is kinda honest. Now I'm not sure anymore if wanting SC2 key so badly worth all the stress, I already have appetite and sleep problems because of this. Screw this, seriously. I haven't play WOW for 2 years, now is a good time to buy WOTLK, at least that's what I'm going to do.
Give me my fucking permaban please, and I won't bother this forum again anymore. Release me from this stress. It was nice being here before SC2 hype.

Chill brah. Why would you humiliate yourself now when you just said you didnt want to write a 30 page essay, yet you write 3 paragraphs of nerd rage. TL has always been this way and will always reward their actual contributers, not all the chobos that just recently joined. Just wait a few more months and it wont even matter whether you played beta or not
EDIT: On a side note however, how is it that everyone is asking for multiple keys instead of simply lowering the post count, or whatever?

I've been trying to get SC2 key for a long, long time, with no results, and... really, is it worth it?
90% of beta key contests are humiliating in some way: "Write a 30 page essay on why you're so special, or make some stupid thing in front of the camera, and then I decide if you are worthy of my key" - screw you, I'm not doing this, I'm the same person as everyone else here. The only contest I liked was the roulette, but I've been F5'ing it for 3 days, and it's always closed.
And there's this preorder thing via gamespot in some countries, but not in mine... "Well, nobody owes you anything, so why don't you just buy a key?" Well, since release will cost $60, I find it stupid to pay $200+ for a beta key, since most people get them for free anyway... I'm ready and willing (was ready and willing) to pay $10-15 for this, but nobody sells them at that price.
So why do I post in this thread, even though I don't have 500 posts and will be banned? I'm a typical forum lurker that reads forums for years before 1st post, there's no single forum in internet with 20+ posts by me... And english is not my native language, I'm writing this with a dictionary open. So why? To rant, of course, lol, to release some steam. At least, THIS giveaway is kinda honest. Now I'm not sure anymore if wanting SC2 key so badly worth all the stress, I already have appetite and sleep problems because of this. Screw this, seriously. I haven't play WOW for 2 years, now is a good time to buy WOTLK, at least that's what I'm going to do.
Give me my fucking permaban please, and I won't bother this forum again anymore. Release me from this stress. It was nice being here before SC2 hype.
Chill brah. Why would you humiliate yourself now when you just said you didnt want to write a 30 page essay, yet you write 3 paragraphs of nerd rage.

very true, i like the 500+ post count thing so much better anyway, soa bunch of 1post newfags cant get a key when they are probably gonna sell it anyway..

This deserves consideration. You can get a key for 5$ at gamestop.com! And Starcraft2 while your at it!
and dont give me that you werent going to order SC2. You were.
just would like to say that this is one of those days that i`m proud to be a TL. MEmber. You guys made my day, my week and the next months before the release.
Thank you so much for this key.
That means a lot for me and even for my wife haha.
Well, im on 465 only, but ive been an active member and posting since 2007, which i think is as good as having 500 posts.. I dont like to post too much, and never spammed, so ill like to get one if i can.

So I'm going to stick my neck out and ask for one of the TL keys if there are extras so my old SC 2v2 partner and I can start tearing it up.
I vouch for Biochemist this guy deserves a key.
Biochemist and Harem both tried to help me "level" up on Iccup. I really do appreciate the coaching you gave me a long time ago. I still stuck, but thankful that you at least tried to help me.
GIVE THAT MAN A BETA KEY! ______________
Oh wait I just now read his post and he already has a beta key. The rules say don't ask for a beta key if you already have one.
I'm desperately in need. A beta key is the only way to break my ssf4/mvc2 addiction, this is my last hope!
Thanks in advance for doing this. Reading through and honoring 20 pages of beta key requests doesn't sound like my idea of awesome. This site really goes the extra mile for its community =)
Again, I ask for a beta key for a friend of mine. Sharing a key with 3 people is no fun, nor is being unable to play 1v1 and 2v2 with my friends. We'd be very grateful if you could send one our way.
I was wondering if I can have a Beta key for a really important close friend of mine who never really got to know TL nor really see Pro SC. But I've been trying hard to show him and introduce to him in TL and I hope I can use this beta key as a means of connection to invite him into the TL community plus as his graduation present for his university. Thanks.

I know I have already asked and graciously received a beta key from this thread a few pages back, and for that I am deeply grateful. This community is simply the absolute greatest.
I am wondering whether my good friend (who has an account here) could possibly get a key so we could play together. He only has like 140ish posts I think, but we always watch progaming and the TL events etc. I would be incredibly grateful teamliquid.
However, if I am completely out of line asking for this, please just ignore this, sorry for wasting your time and thanks for my beta key before!
I already received a beta key from someone else, but I would be grateful if I could have a key for my friend who is a big fan of starcraft but has never become involved with the community. I promise to tell her to make an account.
I already received my beta key from this thread and received another beta key just now so 2 out of the 3 of us who are actually the only ones who enjoy sc/sc2 in my entire island have a key. Now seeing people are asking keys for their friends I might as well ask 1 for my other friend.
Can I get 1 more beta key please?
If this isnt allowed then please disregard. Thank you so much.
I would really appreciate a key. I am closing my store for a few weeks and would be gratefull for something to do, since I broke my bw cd when I retired .
I was a fairly competitive SC1 player, still avidly follow the pro scene, and really want to try out the new game, so I'm requesting a beta key for personal use.

Edit: I assume posting counts as "request for personal use". Are the keys the same for europe and the american beta ?
Also you might want to pick some veterans out of the roulette thread. Those poor sods now miss out on this .
yes, the keys are the same. the only thing that matters and what determines the area is the account the key is activated on. if it is activated on an eu acc, you'll play eu. so check out if you really have an eu acc. if not you can just create a new one or you could contact blizzard about that. i think they can change the region of your acc without much effort.
*i assume you want to play on eu since you're from germany.
I'm requesting a beta key. I have a key already but the way in which is was acquired is a little questionable. I won a contest on TL, but the owner of the key got it through accident. He ordered it through gamestop but they sent him the WRONG key or something to that effect. So he received an extra one. So I really don't know how long this key will last. Thank you TL admins.
i got a key from this thread (thanks!) but is it okay to ask for one for a friend? if not then that's perfectly fine, shouldn't ask for expect more since i already got one.
