Guys! Today something happened in the history of Earth. A closed beta test of StarCraft 2 has started! Our team is now downloading the game so stay tuned to game reports, articles and screenshots! Also be sure to check your battle.net profile to see if you are lucky to get into the beta. If you are and you wish to publish your reports on starcraft2.pro – contact our admins.

The StarCraft 2 beta just went online. Members of the community reports downloading the client.

Many fans have waited a long time for this, and the 20,000+ beta key holders especially. The beta keys will be distributed in waves, so if you have not yet received your key, it will arrive eventually. There doesn’t seem to be any limitations on who gets the keys. A mix between previous BlizzCon keys as well as the “opt-in” keys players can choose in their Battle.net accounts. It seems that the beta is available for download and management, but is not technically live yet. People with downloaded clients can access the login screen, but not actually connect. Blizzard RTS community manager Stefanie Gwinner also confirms “that the FAQ is not up to date. EU players are getting into the beta at the same time as US [players].”

Some early, lucky layers are already playing the game now.

Check back for updates!

Blizzard has now also released a statement:

The Koprulu sector rings once more with the sounds of battle, for the public beta test of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty has officially begun! Invitations to participate in the beta test are now being delivered. As with previous Blizzard Entertainment titles, the beta-test process for StarCraft II will occur in phases. In each phase, we will be selecting players who meet specific criteria and who have opted in via their Battle.net accounts.

Players who have been invited to participate in the beta test will need to have a Battle.net account. For more information on the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test, please read the FAQ and our recent media alert.

If you didn’t receive a beta test invite, don’t worry — it’s possible that you’ll be added in a later phase. Keep an eye on the email address associated with your Battle.net account, and stay tuned to http://www.StarCraft2.com for further updates.

Additionally, please keep discussion regarding the StarCraft II Beta consolidated to this thread. Thanks!

Further information is now available, and it seems like far from everyone of the 20,000 beta keys given at BlizzCon will be served with a Beta account:

I just wanted to confirm that a large number of the BlizzCon attendees were invited into the first wave today and should be receiving their emails once they are all processed. We will be sending out more invites as the beta process continues.

We hope this will not disappoint many fans.

Most of you expected the beta start during or after the BlizzConvention 2009. Well it’s over now and well. You may ask yourself: “hey man,where’s the Beta?”. A disappointment of course.

Due to Starcraft Legacy Member Domi87 who met Dustin Browder in the parking lot ( ) and asked him about Beta : It’ll start on November/December.

That’s sure bad news but who knows? Maybe Domi87 will shit us and tell fables (even with picture). Maybe Dustin want to muck Domi about the Beta because he knew that he won’t shut up and shout it out loud on the forums. We can’t know. Let’s just take November as default date.

Michael Morhaime said on BlizzCon 2009: ”I’m confident the beta will start this year”

More Units in the Full Article.

We just have the Starcraft 2 Lore Panel.

We have 7 actors playing:

Universal,Raynor,Gabrial,Tychus, Zeratul,Arcturus and of course Kerrigan.

We have this summary here.

Zeratul don’t only play one character. He also plays Swann ,the engineer of Raynor.

All of the actors preformed their voices and we have some screenshots of the characters and more cool stuff. We keep you posted.

Do you believe that Kerrigan

is played by this hot chick

We have NOW running a really great game in the Tournaments in the Pro legaue.

We have NOW running a ZvZ Game in the Korea GRAND FINAL.

Jung vs Myung

Both Zergs. The yellow Zerg rushed which was contered by a Sunken. Effort pwned after a short time and won with Mutalisks and Scourges without a Hive.

Hooray guys. The beta is out and you can try it right now. Just hit the play button. If for any reason the game will not start downloading in 1-2 minutes just hit F5 button.

We will be really thankful for any bugs and glitches you report.
