Closed Beta Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm on track

 

Blizzard announced that the expansion pack Heart of the Swarm for Starcraft II beta is now closed. The developer said that the first round of lucky players includes professionals, media members, fans and competition winners but there are plans to open the multiplayer component for more players soon.
It is recommended that players interested in participating can click the "Beta Profile Settings' within section Battle.net account management. Obviously, follow these steps does not guarantee that you will receive access to the closed beta but your chances increase to actively play StarCraft II using the same account.

Blizzard said they are also working with several fan pages and community personalities to offer additional opportunities in the beta. Participants suspect that the pages will be listed on the fan page for StarCraft II with the idea that they are well known. The company did not say exactly how many invitations are for the beta, but mentioned that players will be added as necessary to perform their respective tests.
The company traditionally sees several factors when choosing their beta players including system specifications and if these actively playing the game in question. Participation in this beta is open for both Windows and Mac users simultaneously in all regions although the language support is limited to English, German, French, and Korean.
Finally, the selected participants have to 'sign' a confidentiality agreement so I most likely will not see much of the content of the online beta.
