The Beta Test is coming to an End

We’re pleased to announce that, in preparation for the launch of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, the public beta test will close on March 1. We’re incredibly thankful for the feedback and data our testers have produced throughout the beta, and we hope that all testers continue to practice, prepare, and pursue XP levels in the beta through the end of February.

It is important to note that we will continue to operate a private beta test until Heart of the Swarm goes live on March 12. We will be working with our eSports partners to ensure that they are able to feature the new expansion in professional StarCraft II matches after March 1.

Again, our greatest thanks to everyone who has participated in the beta test so far. We’re looking forward to seeing what you do with the Heart of the Swarm beta over its final three weeks!

My beta launcher is now returning an error -
"An unexpected error occurred while trying to install. Please try again or contact Customer Support."

Does this mean my beta time is done?

HotS is not a good game as Wol and it is supposed to be the zerg expansion, but now zerg can only win with all ins and not in the late game.
I dont like HotS at all hope they do a better job for the toss expansion

@carpediem: The typical whining of a player who is angry because he didn't win every single match he played in HotS so it MUST be the games fault! God forbit anyone say it may be because of him! :-0

@Belerafont: first off dude learn how to speak english and second the zerg were always ment for rushing in and blindly attacking. thus the zerg swarm.

@xXtylerXx: I was confused by this as well, when you login there are account options, sc-1 and sc-2, sc-2 is for the beta.

@Omicron: Nvm, you can just install the beta and make an account now. You don't need to have the beta show up on your games list anymore. Just install the Beta client and play it. Good luck to all.
