Ahhh now I got it why they did the new Season 3 thing today, cause of the SC2 1st year birthday! Well then:

Happy Birthday my-new-war3 game!
May you live long like broodwar or war3 for at least 7 years.
May you become more balanced in gameplay!
May you reduce cheese to minimum
May you return losses at least for diamonds
May you give us better battle net experience like for custom games to be able to cancel on lobby start without logout and chat commands like old bnet

I was in SC2 Beta from April 18th 2010 until its final phase in July. I got my SC2 on August 13th or so. I did not buy the game directly, I won it or the money for it from some contest.

From beta to now I had to go from High to Medium settings and reduce model quality to Low i.e no death or burned or decaying bodies, just disappearing, to get absolutely no lag even from deaths. When HotS comes, Blizzard says will try to keep the specs to minimum, i.e to keep them not higher than the current ones. Now imagine from playing High in beta, having to go down to say even less than Medium or with other reductions for HotS. Now that would suck.
