Day 2

Well my 2 day of sc2 Beta went more or less like this.

I Started off with some Vs AI games, which basically means you are on a map more or less on your own since blizzard turned the AI down in such a degree that they aren’t really playing sure making 5-7 units doing a mini attack now and again but otherwise they are completely harmless, this does however give you the possibility to try and make every single unit and building of the game and get a look at and try their abilities.

I went through most of the Terran army and quite a bid of the Zerg and Protoss armies as well, but after some time I felt my hands itching for some online action

So I decided to get my 10 placement matches done for both solo and RT 2vs2 done

In solo I ended up in the Gold League while playing as Protoss where I went 7-3, and in 2 vs 2 I ended up in the silver league with 4-6 while playing as Random.

The League structure looks like this pro > platinum > gold > silver > bronze > copper > practice, although I don’t think Pro is included in the beta yet, but seeing as how many really skilled players there are in the beta I wouldn’t be surprised to see them introduced latter in the beta.

I ended the evening with some 2 vs 2 games with 2 mates, going 2-0 and 3-0

All in all I’m having a great time with the game.

Sc2 Beta

Fianlly! I got it a beta key for SC2! The most anticipated game in the last decade, for me at least.

The feeling of downloading, installing and creating my account for a game I have been waiting for, for so many years, is quite unreal!, Goosebumps and small chills while the installation bar went to 100% and the countdown for the very first game went to 0... Fantastic!, even though it's "just a beta" it just felt like this is it.

The next months I am going to dedicate this blog as a dedicated SC2 Blog, sharing my experience with the beta.

I played my first few games 1x: 1 vs 1, 3x: 2 vs 2's and 1x: 1 vs 1 vs 1 ffa with 2 friends who are also participating in the beta and it felt really cool getting into the action.

When I get home from work tonight the plan is to take it easy and make 3 games vs the AI and get a good look at all the races what they got and how to get it.

Then I’m most likely going to go a bid more into the Protoss race, they seem to match my play style and well my nickname pretty much says it all!

In 2 Vs 2's I am going to stick to random to get some experience with the other races as well

If you are interested in adding me on battle.net 2.0 my nickname is AiurAdun.fighting

Regards!
