Someone in the beta find out about if there is Backstabbing in SC2 or not and post in my thread Backstabbing in SC2.
Also if there isn't can you manually attack your team members units 1 by 1?
Be nice if they opted people in each day, that way all of us still have a chance of making first wave even if they don't do it each day it makes the pain and wait easier to deal with if I think they do haha.
Yeah I hope it's not long between waves. I'm supposed to have a key from a pair of Blizzcon tickets I sold, but the buyer only sent me a D3 poster. Should get in touch see if they still have the spare.
Something to note about an earlier post, I have neither a WWI key not a twitter account. So first wave must extend beyond these categories...

hello all
just one quick question. did u get a notification via email also?
im logged in in my battle.net acc, spaming that F5 button
I've heard that either first wave is done, or first wave will be done 24 hours after it started. The forums have been quiet, nobody spamming about how they got in, so I think the first wave is just done.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
I think what they may do is slowly send out the invitations for the first bit... then send more out at a higher rate gradually. This will alleviate pressure on the download servers, as well as allow them to see (gradually) how the new B.net servers handle this influx of people.
I opted in the first time I saw it (sometime in the middle of last year), and I haven't received any e-mail either. I hope I get one, but if they're beta-ing an RC... they're almost to final production. That makes me happeh.

StarCraft® II: Wings of Liberty™ Beta Test Invitation
Congratulations, this is your invitation to the beta test for Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft® II: Wings of Liberty™! You are receiving this email because you attended a special Blizzard Entertainment event, participated in a related contest or promotion, or have otherwise been selected to join the beta-testing process. This email contains your beta key along with instructions on how to get started.
As a beta test participant, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the multiplayer gameplay of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and explore the social-networking, matchmaking, and other new features of Blizzard Entertainment’s revamped Battle.net® online-gaming service. Throughout the StarCraft II beta test, you’ll be able to take part in cooperative and competitive battles as the terrans, protoss, and zerg -- and at the same time, you’ll be helping test the stability of the Battle.net service and fine-tune the game balance prior to launch. The developers look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing you on Battle.net!
Getting Started:
In order to participate in the beta test, you must have an active Battle.net account. If you don’t have a Battle.net account, visit eu.battle.netto create one. Note that you are required to accept the Battle.net Terms of Use before you can create a Battle.net account and install the StarCraft II beta client.
Below is a beta key that will allow you to upgrade your Battle.net account to participate in the StarCraft II beta test. PLEASE NOTE:Each beta key can be used only once, so please make sure you are upgrading the Battle.net account you wish to use to play the StarCraft II beta. Once claimed, your beta key cannot be transferred to another Battle.net account.
1.Apply Your Beta Key- Log in to your Battle.net account. Under "Manage My Games," click "Add or Upgrade a Game." Enter the above beta key in the "Enter Game Key" field and select "Add Game."
2. Get the Installer - In your list of games, click the “Manage Game” button under the StarCraft II beta image to download the installer.
3. Install the StarCraft II Beta - Once you’ve downloaded the installer, run it and follow the directions to install the StarCraft II beta client on your machine. Note that your participation in the StarCraft II beta test is governed by a Beta Test Agreement that you are required to accept before you can install the beta client.
4. Run the Game & Log in to Battle.net - After the StarCraft II beta installs, the launcher interface should automatically appear on your screen. Log in with your Battle.net account and you’ll be able to begin playing. You can launch the client at any time by clicking the desktop shortcut or by going to the Windows® Start Menu.
Once you’ve had a chance to play, please share your feedback by posting on the StarCraft II Beta Forums. The game is still a work in progress, and one of the purposes of the beta test is to identify any issues and improve the player experience before the game ships. The developers encourage you to report any in-game issues you experience via these forums.
** IMPORTANT ** To avoid graphical bugs and other technical issues, please ensure your video card drivers are up-to-date.
Enjoy the game!
Gotta go to work so I'll check it out when I get home. Never did understand why Beta tests are always on European servers. It was the same for World of Warcraft Wrath of the lich King. It's beta was on European servers.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Actually I checked my battle.net account and the beta was up before I got the email. I got the email this morning but I downloaded the client last night.
SO CHECK YOUR BATTLE.NET

I wonder if people that owns a copy of starcraft have better chances do win a beta key. The only games I have a registry in b.net is Diablo 2, LOD, Warcraft 3 ROC and FT.
All I can do now is hope I eventually get picked.
Also if there isn't can you manually attack your team members units 1 by 1?
Be nice if they opted people in each day, that way all of us still have a chance of making first wave even if they don't do it each day it makes the pain and wait easier to deal with if I think they do haha.
Much appreciated if you can reply!!!
