If you are interested in participating in the beta test, please make sure you are opted in for beta testing. You can do this by clicking "Beta Profile Settings" under the Account Management section of your Battle.net account. Note that the opt-in doesn't guarantee entry, but gives you a chance at joining the beta test. Also, we'll be working with your favorite fansites and community personalities to give away more entries to the beta test, so keep an eye out for invites coming from the greater StarCraft community over the coming weeks.

We can’t wait to get the public test started for Heart of the Swarm, and we look forward to collecting your feedback.

Quick Comments

FsDronesInJail:

life changing decision ^^

[Theend]

By the term "preparing", i think it meant in real life time "at least not for the next few month".
Do not get your hope too high which will result in disappointment!
You know how time wasting their history in such matter is.....

[ETL.noTTuh]

omg can't wait

[ThatGuyDoMo]

I will be so psyched if I get a key!!!

I'll be sad to see the game resort to a lot of experimental cheese / allins though What must be done must be done.

[ToRSpartaz]

Really excited for this (Its a shame that the release was "intended" for around Exam time

[TCPGunter]

i have about 10 beta invites to HoTS in my email address already :P

[Zealo]

also coming soon*, name changing for a small fee

*as of 2010

[Cute]

The only thing I don't really like is the factory marauder. Rest is looking pretty good! Esp Mothership Core and mines

[Shieldz]

my god cant wait anymore zzzzz

[KeyboardWarrior]

Hell, its about time.

[Chappo]

Not really interested in playing because it looks like an absolute mess right now, but its exciting that we are nearing some kind of promise of release.
