Lol void ray nerf but rly happy about the Stimpack buff. Was annoyingly just too much to get while still having enough to churn out Maur and Mari's 
Massive yay for 3v3 and 4v4 though
Some of the maps are already built for 3v3 and 4v4 just they didn't give them the starting point marks so limited them to 2v2.

Argh they've ruined the friend adding function, it seems.. I don't think you can add people by their game-name anymore, only RealID (email address) and damn Facebook friends....
From what I hear that's only temporary for testing though.. maybe.

Ahh I see, yeah that's understandable.. Not really my sort of comedy either, but she did get a chuckle from me.
Quote from Blizzard:
"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."
