Only this community would be dense enough to need clarification on the word 'qualify'.

QUALIFY: MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY.

If you QUALIFY for the race, it means you are IN the race. You have gained entry.

QUALIFY: "Be entitled to a particular benefit or privilege by fulfilling a necessary condition"

"Qualify as TESTERS" means you meet the requirements to gain entry for testing.

Good grief what a bunch of nitpickers. Yes, that's right. All legacy players get access to BETA 1.
