Have you become a fan of StarCraft on Facebook? On top of receiving regular updates on the latest StarCraft news, videos, and events, over the next three weeks you’ll have a chance to nab yourself a key for the StarCraft II beta test!

We’ll be posting keys on the StarCraft page on Facebook at random times throughout each day -- and if you're the first to nab one and redeem it, you're in! Keep in mind you'll need a Battle.net account to try to redeem the key, so if you haven't already created one, head to the Battle.net website to get started.

For legal reasons these key giveaways are limited to US, Canada, Latin America, and New Zealand. Our other regions will be hosting similar key promotions in the future and more information is forthcoming on those promotions.

US/Canada/NZ - http://www.facebook.com/StarCraft

LA - http://www.facebook.com/StarCraft-ES

This promotion doesn't affect opt-ins or anything of the sort. These are additional keys just for this, they don't impact anything.

It is frustrating to see so many people angered by us trying to give away keys for fun. We have some ideas for how we can still give them away in a similar manner but maybe inject a bit more skill than just F5'ing like a madman, and maybe giving a better idea as to when they'll be going up.

Bottom line though is that if you aren't the one that claims it of course you're going to be disappointed, we understand that, but it's the amount and extent of people's rage there that's a bit overwhelming. Facebook makes our forums look like Candy Land.

Q u o t e:
Thanks for that last facebook post Blizz. No one can legitimately complain if you change it up like that. \

Thanks for the fast changes to the contest, made me happy even though I did not get a key or even figure out the correct key.

Cool, thanks. We're reading and making changes where we can. This was really just an idea that came up "Hey let's just toss out keys somewhere!" and it sort of had to be controlled to Facebook so we can limit what countries can see them for legal reasons. We didn't really anticipate the negativity to be honest, which was really our fault. We thought it would just be a fun way to give out some extra keys. Obviously it's far more serious than that. :P
