I don't see why. Plenty of current pro StarCraft players achieved that status by intense training long after the game was even released.

- hristov 17y agoYeah but it was much tougher for them than those few guys that were lucky enough to be in the beta. The tournaments that came first couple of years after the game came out were almost exclusively won by beta players, such as Grrr and Maynard. It took some time for the Koreans to come in and start owning everyone. Now that the most talented Korean pros are guaranteed to be in the beta, good luck out training them.
- mlinsey 17y agoI still disagree. For example, Jaedong started playing a lot later than Boxer and Soso. I don't think missing out on the beta will be a singificant disadvantage for pro players for more than 8-12 months.
