Do I need to log on to battle net or will I get an email if I get in?
You get an e-mail shortly after you're in (like an hour or so), but you'll be able to notice the effective change immediately by checking your games on your battle.net account, or by noticing your overwatch launch button in your battle.net browser turn bright blue to "PLAY".
If Overwatch Beta shows up under your Battle.net account management screen (which shows your installed/licensed games), it should mean your account is flagged (source r/overwatch).
a few things i wanted to mention in reading these posts- there are a lot of people playing beta who are not big streamers. the friends and family brings in a lot of casual players... most of the friends i've played with have been on maybe 2-3 hours then stopped. i guess my point is that not necessarily everyone in the beta will be interested in a competitive aspect.
i will though :D

How many people that you know got in? None of my irl friends, none of my tf2 friends, and (according to him) none of my brothers friends got in. I had just assumed that they basically let nobody in except streamers but maybe I am just surrounded by unlucky people.

4 irl friends, but they also have been playing a lot of blizzard games for years. none of them stream.

This is another worry about the beta I've honestly had. It'd be very hard to figure out who will stay, test, give feedback, and who just wants the new hot blizzard game for free. Kind of seems like the people like this would be a complete waste of a spot, but it could just be my frustration about support never mailing me back talking.

Well, the more people on that Reddit post that get in, the closer i get to actually getting flagged BibleThump
They call them "waves" because that's what they do as they pass on by me.

So, apparently Blizzard apologized to reddit by flagging people who spammed their battle.net tags in threads.
anyone get in on that wave, or were people around here too well-behaved for that?

It is, and it makes me pretty mad, because aside from 1 email I tried sending at the beginning, I've waited patiently.
It worked though, the salt threads on reddit have dried up, along with the battle.net account spamming sticking to one thread. So, I guess as shitty as it is, it worked and got the loudest whiners to shut up.

Ya the dumbest part is I (along with many others) have been having discussions on the subreddit actually talking about the game and not just complaining that not enough keys were given out, but apparently they only looked at 1 thread that was all about people complaining that they didn't get in and gave those people keys. smh my head

That sounds horrible. It is also unfair to those that did not get in, feel bad or hate how they didn't get in while others who were in the same boat got in due to a reddit thread. Blizzard needs to understand some sort of boundary at this sort of thing. It's simple, limited amount of players for a closed beta, people were generally randomly chosen, and they didn't get in out of those hundreds of thousands. It's just like the lottery in a way, some people are just ridiculous and have to understand that not everybody can get in.

Seagull has probably tripled or quadrupled his sub count in one night, and is still going.
Plus he's probably made an equal amount of money in donations.
