LOL so yeah Karune denied it....science....science what happened....we were going so far...back to the lair

-----
Hello,

Dr. Kennigit (PHD) here from the Kennigit Institute For Advanced Beta Release Studies (KIABRS for short).

As some of you may remember, through months of research, math, and science i predicted that the Starcraft 2 Beta would be announced/launched on July 17.

Those of you who missed this scientific revelation may review the evidence here
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=95098

Recently a topic appeared on the forum of our friends at SC:Legacy.

The friends and family beta is out. June 28th, 2009 I was visiting Blizzard HQ and I was given a Key. I was visiting many devs for interviews since I have these gaming devcredentials that are yet to be utilized. I got offers from the devs I visited but I'm leaning towards Ubisoft Montreal's offer. From June 24 to July 3rd I was visiting devs for scheduled interviews that were planned ahead.
*email edited out* said (10:49 AM):
Beta Keys were also rolled out to the Press Late last month in order to reserve there ID handles and a small string of beta keys were handed out July 2nd to the friends & family beta. I had hands on time with SC2 at Blizz HQ.

Conversation between me and a friend on MSN...


Here we can see that some guy was applying for jobs and was given a beta key when he went to Blizzard HQ (wtf Ubisoft Montreal over Brizzurd?!??!!....a significant source of error). The most pressing information is obviously that the friends and family beta has started. We've known that an alpha build was being tested company wide for the last couple months and F&F betas last anywhere between 1 week and a month. The average of 1 + 30 is 15.5 or sumthin and of course one must consider the natural Chaos that is Blizzard release cycles.

From FA's thread that i jacked


There have already been a few confirmations from other people. o.O

Little heads up, Just confirmed with another person that they are in the friends and family. I'll be happy to post info about battle.net if possible soon. Talking to them now on MSN

Show nested quote +
The information I can give now... there IS an NDA on it. (Duh) It runs smooth so far. My friend has to resort to playing computer because there's a slight shortage of people on the Multiplayer aspect

That's all I got so far.




July 17th

I'm starting to think you guys have known the date all along, and releasing it as a silly joke has just been one giant charade
I will laugh my ass off if they release it on the 16th or 18th

What are the chances they do release beta on the 17th just to make Kennigit happy?

I talked to a few people from different sites who were at the press conference who all had similar experience of

"X said they were hoping for some time within the next month"...that was at the end of June.
