    Does the Beta include custom maps fuckery?

    If not, I have no interest.

    From the matchmaking window, there is a button for custom maps that seemed to be working, just haven't seen anyone click it.

    Streams and articles, to be updated weekly as the beta progresses.
    http://www.teamliquid.net/beta/
    Streams with the blue star beside them are from top SC1 players.

    e: The articles they have up now are from impressions of playing the game at Blizzcon, so they're a bit dated.

    Correct.

    zeal⋅ot  [zel-uht]
    –noun
    1. a person who shows zeal.
    2. an excessively zealous person; fanatic.

    ZEE-LOT

    I say it this way because I was young when I first read the word and assumed it was pronounced that way. As I grew older and wiser I also grew more stubborn.

    REFUSE
    RESIST
    REBEL
    ANARCHY

    ..so watching streams all day has cut into my homework. Why did this come today? :(

    This is almost as bad as pronouncing melee

    Anyway, it'll be interesting to see everyone's take on Starcraft II. Will be watching the streams when I get home.

    I think 'skorge' is more aggravating than 'zeelot'.

    I keep refreshing to see if I'm in, like there's been some kind of mistake and it'll be sorted out soon. I suspect this will go on for at least a week.

    apparently there are still very few people actually online in the beta. like only 400 people and according to giantbomb its press/pros/friends/family.

    I have yet to hear of any average joe get in through the opt in.

    Theres still hope

    what'll be interesting for me is if we see an attempt to emulate battle.net servers much like war3. I still can't get over that for war3 original beta, more people played on the emulated server then the real battle.net, so legit beta keys started playing on the emulated server (this was due to a very small amount of beta testers selected).
