Starcraft 2 Beta

So I pre-ordered Starcraft 2 and therefore got invited to play the Beta. I've been pretty excited about it. It felt kind of like being one of the kids chosen to go into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I used to read the posts players would make on the beta forums, and now I have my own chance to play and make posts on the forums.

So far I have proved that I am a terrible Starcraft 2 player. I wasn't the greatest Starcraft player to begin with, but this is just amazing how much better other players are than I am. There is a league system where you have to play five placement matches to determine your skill. They separate it up into 1v1 and 2v2 leagues. For the 1v1 league I won only one of the five placement matches. That put me in the lowest league there is. I was happy with that though since it meant I could play against players who were also not that great.

Unfortunately for the 2v2 placement matches I happened to have a rather strong player on my team. They helped me win most of the matches, resulting in being placed in a higher league. This now means that I am always the weakest player in any game I play in the 2v2 league. I don't like being forced to play against harder players like this. I wish I could demote myself to the lowest level league somehow.

It is a fun game though. I hope to play it with friends, since that is always more fun than just playing it with random gamers on the internet.
