StarCraft II Beta

StarCraft II beta keys have been sent out.

Be careful, a lot of people got scamed. In order to be sure that you will not share that fate, just follow these simple steps:

- If you received an email saying that you have been invited to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, do not open any link in that e-mail

- Typing battle.net in your browser will take you to the secure site appropriate for your region

- Enter account Information

- Go to Manage My Games, choose Add or Upgrade a Game

- Enter the Beta Key you received in the e-mail

- Press Add Game

If you were able to add the game to your library, then you received a real beta invite.

If the email tells you to go someplace else for the beta key or the key provided did not work, then you received a phishing email.
