Starcraft 2 Beta

[killmaster84]

I can easily defend against that. It's the really smelly cheese tactics that get to me like proxy barracks/reaper and proxy dual-gate/zealot. I've changed my play style to defend against such tactics but it's really annoying when you don't see it coming. I normally play league matches and people rarely resort to all out cheese tactics. It's only when I play custom games that I come across "unskilled" players.

I have skill! At being a noob.

[Sikh]

Just played my last few games, rarely anyone was on and only n00bs too :(.

The Beta has officially ended. Before i got off it said 25 mins, been 10 now. So its ending i should say. Oh well, july 2nd!

Is it officially July 2nd or just a rumour?

Should be Official. Yesterday I was reading the community tab in game and saw something about second phase starting july 2nd. Or maybe it was july 4th. I knew it was in the beginning of july.

I hope it resumes at the beginning of July. That would mean about 3 weeks without SC2. I'm missing it already. :(

We should do a neowin 1v1 tourny when it comes back.

Now that's a good idea. I say we steal the rules from the HDH Invitational. :p

not sure how true this is

Starcraft 2 Professional Edition with LAN support

http://www.sc2blog.com/2010/06/14/starcraft-ii-professional-edition-with-lan-support/

Following Blizzard?s lockdown of the StarCraft franchise, many were expecting a major announcement to come out of Korea regarding the future of major league StarCraft competition, one that is approved by Blizzard. The event is planned to have Blizzard executives in attendance, so this just might be what fans and progamers worldwide have been waiting for.

1. There will be an upcoming ?Ongame Net Starcraft 2 League,? or OSL2.

2. The sponsor of the first one will be Korean Air.

3. The first OS2L will have preliminaries all over the world and then the players will be gathered in Seoul for the Ro16.

4. There will be a ?Starcraft 2 Professional Edition? that will only be provided to tournament organizers, which will include LAN functionality. Only with a special account + password that gets activated will it work. Blizzard staff will be present at tournaments to assist. Apparently, this news was first told to the organizers of the Stars War tournament after it had ended.

[Neoauld]

Is it just me or have you guys also started losing interest in Starcraft 2 :/ Even the custom games are getting boring after a while.

weve seen it all before thats why, chances are most of the customs games will just be remakes or variations of older ones with a prettier graphics engine. That being said, i still enjoy warcraft 3 ALOT and dota was the biggest thing for me in that game. Im sure SC2 will have plenty of life in it, but i still miss the old battle.net interface

[lalalawawawa]

Hopefully they'll add the chat rooms back into the new Battle.net.

[Haptic]

I've heard that they are adding private channels that won't make the release, but no word on public channels.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I doubt they'll add public channels. Blizzard wants the new Battle.net to be more socially-oriented than the old Battle.net. If they were to add public channels, people wouldn't use private channels or the private/party messaging system as much as they would if it wasn't added. Plus, the public channels in the old Battle.net were mostly used for spam. Of course, Blizzard will add it if enough people complain.

[ATGC]

There will definitely be "chat channels" coming in one of the patches after the release. The system will be based around groups, where you will be able to join public channels that are based around your interests, which can be virtually anything. Also the system will include private chat channels (in plans for release in the first few months after the release), where you will be able to meet with your friends.

There will also be cross-region play! :woot:
