First I have to say it's very nice that people like you take the time to share keys and overall it contributes to make the community a better & a more friendly place. As a huge Blizzard fan since warcraft 2 I'm very excited with starcraft 2 because, unlike world of warcraft which is their biggest and overshadowing game atm, the starcraft franchise symbolizes the pinnacle of what I love in video games: first the RTS genre which to me represents THE type of game made for computers (along with FPS games), secondly the science-fiction setting coupled with the epic and deep lore & storyline, and thirdly the "esport",competition and hardcore gaming aspect which are, to me, the real purposes of online video games. Sadly I haven't been chosen to participate in the Sc2 Beta, even despite entering contests left and right (twitter, facebook, as well as fansites etc.) and it saddens me. I was a beta tester for wotlk and to me I did a more or less good job hunting bugs and gameplay issues, so it's unfortunate that blizzard didn't give me an opportunity to help them again. I think that I could be a somewhat useful tester, at least more useful than players who are new or bad at RTS games and cry for unreasonnable nerfs everytime they lose a game. Plus the possibility of entering the beta could give me reasons and incentive to take part in the forum discussions, as of right now my input is limited by the fact that I don't play SC2 Anyway Sorry for my bad engrish have a nice day. | ||

I would like a beta key =) My friend gave me a beta key telling me that I would enjoy it more and he refuses to take it back saying it would go to waste. He really loves SC1 and got me into teamliquid.net and I would like to get a key to give to him so he can waste his life away. =) | ||

Well, some people probably deserved the key more than me, but I'll try anyways. I have been a fan of broodwar for quite a long time. Only played single player until a few years ago though, and when I got introduced to progaming, I fell in love with starcraft all over again. I don't play broodwar competitively, but I would like to try and play starcraft 2 competitively, and what better way to get a headstart than to play first? I have tried for multiple contest but so far I have had no luck, and no friends with beta either so no friend invites. P.S. I also actually want to share it with a friend of mine who has been following the broodwar scene with me, but has also not gotten a key. | ||

----- I'm a fellow StarCraft - Broodwar player/admirer from Mongolia. This game was and is an important part of my life ever since my university-days (Have been playing the game since fall of 1999). Before that i enjoyed playing the original WarCraft back in 1996-97. Besides just playing the game I have also been following the SC scene pretty closely starting 2005, the time i joined TL 5 years ago. Here I found out about the upcoming StarCraft 2 few years ago and have been following its development closely. SC2 Promo for Blizzard in Mongolia. Our community is not as big or skilled like in many countries but size and shape doesn't matter to love something. When the new Battle.net site opened last year, I registered my games on it shortly after (03/20/2009 to be precise) and opted in for the SC2 beta when the option came available around last may if I'm not mistaken. Sensing that the beta is on the doorsteps and hoping to get in it eventually I made a big investment and bought a new PC to replace my old P4 in january just so i could enjoy the beauty of SC2 and dont to experience any hardware drawbacks. Finally the beta came out. Hard to describe how pumped i was.. The first wave of invites came, then the second. Feeling disappointed and seeing that I won't get to test the game, i asked my friends and some fellow country-men who play over battle.net to find out if anyone got invited. No one got.. I think the opt-in is so random that few SC followers here have practically no chance to get in beta and thus send/receive friend invites. We are completely cut-off. So here I am hoping again to get a chance to participate in the beta. I don't have many chances to participate in most of win-beta-key contests here or in other places like facebook because of my timezone, couz most of the activities are centered on europe/us timezones. Thanks for taking your time to read this. In conclusion, for those who haven't seen it already, here is a fun 2v2 replay from me ----- | ||

One other is being given out, and the rest are just people who don't even know the BW scene that well or follow it, so I don't think they deserve it at all (I just lie saying I never have a key available, lol). So why not give it to a deserving SC fan? | ||

I have been an ardent Blizzard supporter since I first played StarCraft in 1999. Actually I loved them even earlier, as I was a huge Lost Vikings and Warcraft 1 fan, but I didn't know/care about that being Blizzard until later. I was a hardcore SC/BW fan for many years and joined TL in 2004, and though I don't post much, have been lurking avidly ever since. I stopped playing SC hardcore when Warcraft 3 came out, though I had honed my RTS skills enough to quickly became a top player. I was #1 on the USEast RoC ladder several different times and had one of the sickest Orc profiles. I don't play much War3 anymore as I never got into TFT, and there is a void in my life right now that I am used to filling with a Blizzard game. Enter StarCraft 2. Aside from all that, I have diverse skills and knowledge that make me a rather good guy to owe you a favor. I write software to make part of my living and will probably write some tools for SC2 that are useful to the community. Thanks for considering me as a beta key contender. | ||

The reason I would like a key is to be able to play with my little brother. He and I are really close, but now that I'm in college I don't have a chance to see him very much. We exchange emails and what not, but we used to always play video games together. We'd stay up after our parents went to bed to play each other and then both go to school the next day half asleep. If there was a fight between our parents, or they had too much to drink, a lot of the way we'd deal with it was just getting lost in videogames as soon as the air cleared (don't judge my family though, I don't think anyone's is perfect and ours is actually overall very happy). We don't get a chance to play much anymore, since we mostly play console games and all our consoles are at home with my brother (I'm attending college half a continent away). The one computer game we do play with each other is Starcraft, partly because we love it and partly because it costs little/nothing to buy an extra copy/download it off ICCup. We've spent a ton of time over the years not even just playing the game, but making cool or funny maps and talking about the single player story mode. It's getting a little tougher lately because I'm not as into videogames anymore as I used to be except for Starcraft, but videogames remain our main subject of bonding. We're preordering a copy of Starcraft 2 today, so we should have one key shortly. This is awesome, but honestly the main reason I would want to play beta would be to play with my brother. If we just have the one, I'm going to tell him to put it on his computer since I'm still in love with Brood War. I don't know if we'll be able to play the actual game with each other much when it comes out, since $60 is pretty expensive and finances are tight when I'm the first of four siblings that need to go through college and my Dad had to take early retirement a couple years ago, but if we could play the beta together that would be so awesome I can't even tell you. Am I more deserving than anyone else? This isn't a sob story or anything, I'm not a starving kid in Africa. I'm also not some ICCup pro or anything, and I'm not sure what besides that could make one person more "deserving" than another. I just want to be able to at least play SC2 with my brother in beta, and if you think that's a worthy enough motive, I would be very grateful. | ||

On April 28 2010 18:46 KNICK wrote: I'd love to finally be able to actually try out the game I've been watching nonstop on livestream and ustream for the past months. I bought Starcraft in 2000, played through the campaign, never even thought of trying the multiplayer mode. Then in 2008, I somehow came across a video called "JulyZerg vs. TheRock - Sauron Zerg". I remember my jaw dropping when I witnessed the beauty of July's control and macro in this game, I couldn't believe that was just one guy playing it (of course I had no idea what macro and micro meant back then, but watching the minimap in that game alone is impressive). So after seeing the beauty of the swarm as demonstrated by a seasoned cerebrate, I decided to dust off my copy of Starcraft, found BroodWar in some German game magazine and my journey into the best RTS of all time began. Luckily I had some friends in school who also played and were just as noob as I was, so we were mostly messing around and having fun, playing FFA's and whatnot until someday I discovered TeamLiquid.net Before long, I came across that name again: JulyZerg. I was still in awe of his skill and the discovery that there are more players like him out there, complete with a professional e-sports scene and big tournaments with a live audience. I started watching VODs (not many/no livestreams around back then) all day, I became more of a spectator, but I seriously loved every aspect of it. I stopped playing anything else entirely for about half a year, watching replays and VODs whenever I had the time. I learned what Muta micro is and why it is so important, I learned that Scarabs can be real bitches from time to time (hello Much!) and I learned what the word Tushin meant and why it fits July perfectly. The morning he won the EVER OSL 2008 (it was a morning in Germany anyway) I just started giggling like mad and fistpumping at nothing in particular, I was so happy for him, getting the golden mouse after his long slump. Of course I played a few games here and there, never made it past D level on ICCUP, but I'm trying to change that with the release of Starcraft II. After all, it will be a "fresh" game and I won't be joining in 9 years late. So, that is my story and that is why I'd love to try out SCII beforehand, just for the sake of not missing the start of all of this again like I already did with BroodWar. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone. Should I somehow get a beta key from either this thread or the other one, I'll remove the other entry as soon as possible. | ||

Since i have been to this site i have captured the spirit of TL as whatever you can do you can do it to improve TL.If you´re good at Math than you can do like equations of how many miners you want to have on gas.If you´re god at art you can make sweet artwork.If you can talk really god you can do commentaries.No matter who you are you can contribute to make TL even greater than it is. I have been lurking for about half a year now and i have the deep feeling that i owe the community to get more into the community and contribute my part because TL has provided me with so much information, made me laugh so hard and so many times,gave me sweet artworks and great music recommendations and hepled me improved my play(just reading the forum and Liquipedia) I really love TL and esports and if you gave me that key i will be able to spent the 3Months doing the best i can do to make TL even more awesome than it is now. | ||

There are 10 keys in my country all being occupied by media people...not really competitive players. I have a SCBW lan at my house for at least 2x per month the past 10 years since our lag to iccup is horrific. We play nothing else other than SC! As much as we love BW, we would are desperate to play SC2 (even with lag!). My key will be shared with about 15 people! I hope that you consider us! | ||
