In cooperation with Blizzard, the ESL are offering 1,000 invites to the Heart of the Swarm Beta!
We have 1,000 invites to give away the most active StarCraft II players on the ESL globally. Every match played, whether in a cup, VERSUS, ladder, tournament or the new A-Series, counts.
In order to ensure a diverse range of players are in the beta and promote StarCraft II on a national level, the invites will be distributed by country, to the most active players between now and the end of Thursday 4th October.
The more players that play StarCraft II from each country, the bigger share of keys they get. So grab your compatriots and get them to play to ensure you and your friends have a better chance to get a key!
tl;dr; Where do I play?
For Battle.net EU - http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2 (and all local ESL sections!)
We have Go4SC2 (€200 on Sunday, €500 Monthly Finals): http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/go4sc2/
We have VERSUS (instant matchmaking): http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/versus/play/
We have the new A-Series (opening Monday), which will also qualify for the €500 Go4SC2 Monthly Finals, http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/1on1/aseries/
We have cups: http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/cups
We have a ladder: http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/1on1/ladder/
For Battle.net Americas - http://www.nationalesl.com/us/sc2/versus/play/
For Battle.net Oceania - http://www.nationalesl.com/au/sc2/versus/play/

Hopefully my colleagues from the rest of the world will announce extra tournaments soon to give you more chances to play!

We understand the ESL is a bit overwhelming for new users; it's hard to host so many things and keep it simple at the same time. Is there anything in particular you need help with? I provided the links above to make it as easy as possible to go direct to the action.
Though I'd like to think that my EU SC2 section is better than most for being easy to find stuff!

so basically you can workerrush every game and even if you lose it doesnt matter since the player with the most games gets a key. seriously?!
|
If we live in shitty country with shitty pool of active players and i know a guy from the same country to play against, can we (just me and him and sometimes maybe someone else) mass 1v1 games on country ladder?
edit: ok i think our ladder is not working at all so it doesn't matter

A well done worker rush is a legitimate tactic, but if someone shows up as obviously losing on purpose in order to mass games, we will consider that abuse and either discount/reset/delete/ban where it makes sense.

In general our ladders don't let you play the same person over and over again; but between ladder, cup, versus, aseries there should be enough opportunities for you to play
