Beta info. (Pictures on Jace Hall Show)

Hmm, dont remember responding to it directly....and I've always maitained it would not be this Friday....Personally, I think the Jace snippet is either something taken out of context, or something staged by the Blizz staff for the sake of the show.

...but we'll see; I'm waiting here with the rest of you.

I think if anything happens on Friday, it'll be just an announcment of beta starting date. Maybe the beta servers will be starting up, and some people will get a chance to test it, but not the standard first wave people; it'll be like blizzard + progamers + maybe some media

Gifted you don't happen to know anything about another battle report, do you?

There was a poll on the SC2GDF that implied we would see another. Can you at least confirm there will be another?

One question: Why is everyone so sure it's impossible? I'm not saying it's happening, necessarily, but...the beta DOES start SOME day. What is so impossible about Friday?

Because Friday is within 24 hours, and knowing Blizzard's pace of work, we highly doubt it can be tomorrow.

Blizzard's pace of work? From what starting point are you referencing? They've been working on the game 6 years. I think you guys have been waiting so long that you aren't remembering that betas DO actually eventually start, and yes, every single time, one day people are posting is 24 hours before it starts.

Again, I'm not saying it's happening Friday, I'm simply saying that there's no reason it couldn't.

Oh, it could....I'm just saying I think it very likely wont....

I just think we're more likely to hear about Bnet2's progress before we hear anything about beta - the two events may be close, but I dont think we'll hear beta news first.

....of course, the one time I'm being pessimistic about the SC2 beta date, is likely the time Blizz slaps us all in the face with it.

You just summarized soooo many people's outlook on Blizzard who act like Blizzard's track record of delays mean SC2 is just going to keep getting delayed year after year.

This is final stretch people!

Seriously!

It's not the fact that the beta can or can't be announced on Friday

It's the fact that people think it's being announced due to a very loose link to the Jace Hall show.
