Patch 1.5 Arcade - Rate The Game Contest
The new Arcade game portal promises to bring big improvements to the way we all play custom games. It brings with it a whole swarm of new features, including new search options, Game Info pages that will show you everything you need to know to jump right into the action, and ratings and reviews too. Of course, ratings and reviews are at their most useful when other players have already chimed in to provide their perspectives, and we want to make sure this feature is working great before Patch 1.5 is released. That’s where you come in, because your ratings and reviews could earn you a beta key for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm while you help us test the Arcade Beta at the same time.
If you want to get into the action, playing the Rate the Game beta contest is easy. First, visit your account management page, download and install the Arcade (1.5.0) Beta product you see in the game accounts section, then hop into the Arcade to play. All you need to do to enter is play, rate, and review an Arcade game. The first time you rate and review a new game each day the contest is running gives you another chance to win, so it pays to visit every day until the contest ends. At the end of the contest period we’ll randomly choose 250 eligible contestants to win StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm beta keys!
Please remember that you’ll need an active StarCraft II account in good standing to win, and be sure to read the rules before you get started.

1. the newbie ladder play is nice, i know a lot of players that arent playing ladder because they are loosing all the time.
2. I like the new design, the design with the different play types is cooler and look. a more epic
3. the custom game site is nice, it feels a bit more of a appstore of some sort, but that is great. it is easy to find new custom games. and really like the ''open games'' there you can see the open games, and know where to join without waiting for like 100 years.
what i miss:
1. when for example when you play 2v2, it is random generated so you sometimes can play 2 v 2 v 2 v 2 or 2 v 2 v 2. maybe it is going to be a little onfair sometimes, but it could be fun just sometimes.
2. if alle regions played on the same server. so you would come in a game much quicker.
3. that you can remove the ''how much games ive played'' i think it demotivate people to play, because they dont want others to see that they are playing a lot.
then post things like is the new features great or is it bad.
"THE SWEEPSTAKES IS OPEN ONLY TO RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, ARGENTINA, CHILE, MEXICO, PERU, BELGIUM, UNITED KINGDOM, GERMANY AND AUSTRIA WHICH ARE: (i) THIRTEEN YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER ON THE DATE REFERENCED BELOW AS THE START DATE FOR THE CONTEST; AND (ii) WHO ARE NOT RESIDENTS OF THE STATES OF NORTH DAKOTA, VERMONT, CONNECTICUT, OR MARYLYAND IN THE UNITED STATES, OR THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, CANADA ("ENTRANTS")."
(Yes, it was all in caps lock, just check the rules yourself). :)
I've never played a custom game and given I am fairly new to Starcraft II I am somewhat intrigued by it. Anything that makes that sort of stuff easier to get into is positive.
I see what you did there :)
Downloading it right now and hoping to get in :D
I do not know if it is ok1
