Hey guys, good news for Heart of The Swarm because the Beta is now live as of today. Only some people have received beta keys of course, and it is likely it will be a bit more closed off than the Wings of Liberty beta.

You can see a video detailing some of the unit stats here. It is in Korean though, so if you’re very curious to just see some things now it is there. There should be english videos online within the next 24 hours, so keep an eye out.
