This was posted on BlizzPlanet.com, dont know if there is another thread already (I did a search and didnt find anything)

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 is this another site confirming the emails other than Kotaku or was that their source for it?

Ugh i hope they start the ironman tournament soon, it would suck to win a beta key and be weeks late.

I question the necessity of inviting so many unheard-of third-tier websites. Like how does Blizzard even find out about them? :x

Whatever. Waiting for a more official Blizzard announcement on this.
