Have you gotten an invite to the Starcraft II beta? If so, you will be happy to hear that Blizzard’s president and co-founder, Mike Morhaime, has just announced that the closed beta will go live sometime this month:

“We’re slated to begin beta testing later this month. The beta test will be conducted on a global scale including thousands of testers from North America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan Australia, and New Zealand. We expect a tremendous response from our players and we’re eager to enter this stage of development as we enter the final stretch before release.”

Final stretch, huh? Although Starcraft II has yet to get an official release date, it’s pretty safe to say that “final stretch before the release” means it will be coming pretty soon.
