News: Starcraft 2 Beta phase one ends May 31

As announced on battle.net forum the Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty Beta phase one will end on Monday, May 31 in all regions, and will probably start again as Beta final phase a week or two prior to final game release and launch on July 27.
In the meantime, some software and hardware configuration and upgrades will be preformed.
It is not known from the details if any function from the game will be available during "blackout" (custom maps, editor, etc)....


What we will do in that time is also not known. According to community forums some of players will go back to Brood War, some will turn to World Soccer Cup, and some will just stare to the wall :)

Here is copy of announcement: 

We’d like to let all of our StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test participants know that the first phase of the beta test will be coming to an end in all regions on Monday, May 31. The beta test will be unavailable for several weeks while we make some hardware and software configuration changes in preparation for the final phase of the beta test and the release of the game. We plan to bring the beta test back online for a couple of weeks prior to the game’s launch to complete our testing. We’ll have more details to share about when this final beta-testing phase will begin at a later date.

We’d like to thank all of our beta-test participants for your enthusiasm, dedication, and valuable feedback during the beta test, and we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the StarCraft II beta test as the game’s July 27 launch approaches.- Nethaera - Blizzard Poster
