    Let's just say that the beta hit a little early on our calendar. We'd been figuring on a release sometime next week, certainly not halfway through the month. Since when has Blizzard been earlier than their own deadline?

    But never fear, we've still managed to get our coverage up and running only a few days into the beta. StarCraft2Forum.org has 6 "official" beta players, and we're adding more every day as our members come online with their beta keys. We're going to bring you a series of blogs and multimedia from these players that's sure to blow your socks off. And we're starting off hot.

    First we've got Live Feeds from both Seradin and myself (Joneagle_X). These are great resources for SC2 videos as it records all the feeds I put up. So you can watch games I played even if I'm not on. Oh, and you can hear me cursing up a storm when I'm losing too! You can find the links in the forum and on the navbar to your left.

    Then, I've compiled a short video with the summation of my week of playing the StarCraft 2 beta. It centers around a Marine + Medivac strategy that we've been utilizing in 2v2s. It's quite powerful. You can check out the build order in my blog.

    Here's the video:

    Speaking of blogs, I'd like to direct you to the ones that have been updated so far. There is now a sidebar on the homepage to your left with a link to all of our blogs. You can choose your favorite SC2F player and follow their travels through the beta. Some of us have live feeds, some don't. Our experience also varies so you might be able to identify with certain players better. Let's introduce our players:

    Seradin
    Fenix

    Official Beta coverage. More like your beta coverage. And like all the other personal beta videos out there deserves to be in the beta subforum like all the rest are.

    ********************
    And on a different note your post is a good idea. But the video or link to video is not showing at all.

    It doesn't look like he's set the video up yet (no tags).

    My guess is he was uploading the vid while making the post then forgot/fell asleep/had issues with the upload.

    Don't worry, it'll show up.

    Eventually.

    Oh wow, the zerg buildings look incredible... actually, all buildings for all races look beautiful. Also, what the hell is up with the corruptors... they infest buildings?!

    That is crap, this makes the corruptor less of an effective anti-air unit. The corruptor should retain its original passive debuff ability of infesting air units which I thought was an awesome mechanic. I like this new abiltiy though, I just think it doesn't belong to the corruptor, more like belongs to the infestor.

    StarCraft2Forum.org has 6 "official" beta players.

    Yet you only list 4 of them on the main website page news feed.
    Joneagle_X (MeisterX)
    Seradin
    Fenix
    LordKerwyn

    The two people you left out could and rightly should be annoyed they were left of the list.

    the8thark,

    Are you looking to get an infraction? I mean really. What are you trying to gain? The other two "official" testers are not yet set up. Marcus is a friend but he hasn't added me yet on b.net, I've seen some of his videos, but he just hasn't been added to a blog yet.

    Marcus' videos are now linked on the homepage. Keep it up Marcus. ;) Would you want us to set you up with a blog too? You can embed your videos there, etc.

    Someone needs to shape some angels in the snow.

    Could someone link the higher resolution video? I can't see anything.
