This time, Starcraft fans, its for real! The StarCraft II beta is scheduled to begin this month!!! Activision Blizzard president Mike Morhaime announced today during a company earnings call that the closed beta CBT of the highly-anticipated real-time strategy game will launch this month.

The Starcraft 2 beta will be offered in North America, Europe, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, South Korea.
