    I'm predicting myself to be in either gold or silver (current ones). I probably won't end up in bronze unless I throw all my games and play strictly random.

    I did 3v3 placements and ended up in the top bit of Silver. I haven't gotten in the mood to do "real" placements yet (I.e. 1v1).

    It's worth mentioning that placements work differently now. For whatever reason, you can't place into diamond, and you can (and probably will) land in silver if you go 3-2. 4-1 is Gold. 5-0 is Plat.

    Just so you know.

    Well, looks like they've closed the beta for a while. Was fun while it lasted.

    Yeah. As of 11pm PDT last night. Shame. I never did actually use that European account.

    Anyone know when they are re-opening the Beta? Last I heard it was supposed to make a re-appearance before the actual release.

    BW? Black and White?

    Brood War, CheddarTrek. You know, the expansion to the original StarCraft?

    Also, nah, I'd miss the new features too much.

    I don't have my original CDs anymore, so it wont let me on B.net. (I ripped them to the computer and use Daemon Tools to mount them. :awesome)

    I'm missing SC2 so much, I'm actually watching Husky and HDSc...>.<

    Besides, like Solomon said, I'd miss the new features too much.

    You know the thing you'll miss the most? Setting your SCV's, probes, drones to rally at the minerals/gas so they automatically start collecting. In BW they just sit there and wait for you to manually do it. -_-

    That is pretty much the one feature I'd miss the most, Sree. I just know I'd fall behind on that almost immediately.

    Dunno if any of you guys follow any Pro Starcraft in South Korea... I love watching the OSL's there with nukethestars commentary on Youtube. Anyway, Korean Air was last OSL seasons sponsor, and they are sponsoring it for a second season.

    Yeah, I've been watching Korean SC for a little while, now. I'm really happy now that Bisu seems to have stopped sucking. =D

    Also, Blizzard did that yeah.

    Blizz has gone on record that they will restart beta early next month, so it shouldn't be too long now

    Patch 16 has been posted, which means that the beta will open within the next few days. I also powered up SC2, and it is currently downloading updates as I post.

    The stand out from this update is,

    Which means that we won't have the clusterfuck of finding each other through game lobbies.

    However, this doesn't mean I support Real ID, which I completely detest.
