Hey guys,

The StarCraft II Beta is planned on going down tomorrow with no extensions announced. It should be coming back according to Blizzard a few weeks before the game is released at the end of July. So make sure you get on there now if you want to play with some people. You will still be able to play Single Player games while Battle.net is down for it.
