Do you know if you get them in a e-mail or do They just add them on battle.net?

They no longer send actual keys in early stages of beta any more to avoid scam and reselling.

Want to see how Zerg deals with Blink Stalkers in LotV more than anything.
The OlimoLeague will be hosting weekly tourneys with the beta. Only question is if they will get the same Koreans for their regular league to play this one or will it be NA/EU players instead.

Also, in two hours SPL starts with Maru v. Innovation!
Among a whole host of great matchups.

Will watch the first game and possibly the second before going to sleep.

Current consensus at least in TvP is that you want to start it along with stim or shortly after starting stim, or doing the Flash/Innovation way by going very fast +1, like along with your 2nd and 3rd rax for better early marine/marauder poke/aggression.

lol I don't even think at this rate we'll see beta today.
Also I need beta OT title ideas, I'm never good at these things.
INno vs Maru was fun last night. Same TvT drop play shenanigans but these two juggernauts made it very entertaining.
I was surprised by Cure vs Dark... Dark essentially lost the game because he threw away 7 Roaches to kill 1 Hellion. Granted he got caught out in the middle of the map, but a really strange decision not to just retreat back.
Damn, nice! You were able to get that close to the players!? I'm jelly.
Get any pics of PartinG, Soulkey and jjakji?

Speaking of Gfinity, greetings from the arena itself!
I really need a new phone

Wow didn't realize how fast Ravagers attacked. Kind of removes the point of Hydra's except against air. Can see Ravager/Corruptor being really popular against Protoss.
official beta FAQ is up too http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/18486736

So if Zerg get to Hive Terran going bio are even more dead than they are in HotS.
Oracle change is gonna force Protoss to go Robo much earlier against Zerg.

Yeah and thank goodness they went the route of crowdsourcing because it feels to me that they've run out of ideas. I always thought the Herc and Cyclone were incredibly bland from the beginning, imho.
Hopefully the pros find some way to make Cyclones more entertaining without looking broke as fuck as they've looked in every game on record.
unknownstranger

Cyclones really just need a speed nerf. They shouldn't be able to kite Stalkers and Speed Roaches. Same thing with the Disruptor.

TvZ bio is super dead once Zerg gets Hive and Ultras out. +3 Marauders only do 10 damage per attack (x2) to Ultras now. Marines? even with +3, it's 1.
Also any of you got beta invite and want to stream? PM me your stream to be added to the beta thread coming online later today

Find it funny how much better Ravagers are than Roaches despite not gaining any damage and actually losing hp.
Haha well, I was working as an admin and Gfinity has this weird tradition where we have to stand in the booth (so they don't cheat and stuff). I have a few more photos of mine but they're all shitty quality so instead here are some taken by my friend.

Almost finished the crunching work, will finish the beta thread asap, sorry for the delay guys.

I don't think GSL cares all that much about Code A viewers. Also it's better now that they are finally doing rebroadcasts.
unknownstranger

Lol at Cyclone health. I thought they were somewhere around 120-150hp. Having 200hp with that kind of damage is hilariously OP.

Is there a specific time for that?

Ooof, Hard loss for Taeja. He was just barely outplayed though.
It's like 7:00pmish Pacific. Also one in the morning as well, not sure on the time though.

wat that just makes me more jealous! Nice, man! Sweet pics! All of you guys look like you had a blast. PartinG must be the life of the party. haha
lmfao
Artosis always preaching the hard truth.
I remember in a recent GSL match (I think it was PvP), one player committed hard to snipe the opponent's third and it was left with like less than 10 HP.
Artosis was like "When this happens on ladder I pause the game and say 'No. Kill your Nexus.'" xD
