Starcraft 2 vacation pushed off until June 7

Blizzard previously announced that the Starcraft 2 beta break would start on May 31 but the current phase of the beta has been extended until June 7. I’m glad they are pushing it off especially with all the lag/disconnect issues since the last patch. Hopefully they will be able to squeeze another patch in before the break so we can actually play a working beta.

We previously announced that the first phase of the StarCraft II beta test would be coming to a close in all regions on Monday, May 31. In order to prepare for the final phase of beta testing, we plan to extend the current phase in all regions until Monday, June 7. After this date, the beta test will be unavailable for several weeks while we make some hardware and software configuration changes for the final phase of the beta test and the release of the game. We plan to bring the beta test back online for a couple of weeks prior to the game’s launch to complete our testing. We’ll have more details to share about when this final phase will begin at a later date. We’d like to thank all of our beta-test participants for your enthusiasm, dedication, and valuable feedback during the beta test, and we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the StarCraft II beta test as the game’s July 27 launch approaches.
