StarCraft II beta

Beta keys are a code which enables gamers to participate in the StarCraft II beta. One was provided to each attendant of BlizzCon 2008.

The beta is expected in 2009. Blizzard said the beta "drew near" since October 2008.

Beta keys will be available in several regions, and some opportunities will be revealed "soon" (as of February 3rd, 2009).

One such opportunity can be found in the Vespene Laughs contest.

Blizzard traditionally offers 40,000 beta keys, but expectations for StarCraft II may be larger.
