Starcraft II Beta Invite Emails sent to Media

StarcraftWire.net has received word that Blizzard has sent out Starcraft II Beta invite emails to select websites such as Kotaku and Cnet. The recipients were instructed to send Blizzard their Battle.net account names by June 19th.

This coincides with Mike Morhaime’s comment during the Activision Blizzard conference call last month. Now this doesn’t necessarily mean beta will start this Friday, it’s only the deadline for the media to submit their Battle.net account names. But this does indicate that we are getting much closer to Starcraft II Beta.

Beta Invite Email

Greetings from Blizzard Entertainment!

We are starting to gear up for the StarCraft II Beta. If you are interested in participating, you need to have a Battle.net account, which you can create here: http://us.battle.net/?rhtml=y.

Send us your Battle.net account login name and we will flag you for access to the SC2 beta when we begin admitting press. You do not need to go through the opt-in process.

We do not currently have a date to announce for the start of the beta test. There will be no NDA associated with the beta so you’re free to write and take screens or video as you please.

We need to have your Battle.net account login name by Friday, June 19th. Thanks much!

See you on Battle.net!

Blizzard Entertainment PR Team
