Before I write about my experiences in Starcraft 2, I would like to tell you a bit about myself. I am, and have always been a gamer. Despite this, I have never played at a particularly high level before (and judging by my learning curve in Starcraft so far, probably never will). I have never liked RTSs in general, mostly due to my complete lack of any form of multitasking ability, and have absolutely no experience of Starcraft, so when it comes to Starcraft, I couldn’t be more of a noob. Even though I never play RTSs, I still enjoy watching them. Therefore I watched the replays I found on youtube, and in just a few days I was completely hooked. After a few weeks I decided that I couldn’t take it anymore, I just had to get a beta key. Unfortunately, this was already a few months into the beta, so the chances of getting a key from Blizzard were next to none.
The quest for the illusive beta key had begun. The next few days I spent hours and hours looking for contests for beta keys that I could enter, but I never managed to win anything. After days of failing in contests I found out that by preordering the game, I could receive a beta key. Straight away, I placed an order, but unfortunately for me, the company I ordered from ran out of keys before I got mine. More keys were on the way, however, so after a few more days of waiting I finally had my Beta key. My quest fulfilled, I couldn’t wait until I could start playing, but more about that in the next part…
