What is this discrimination against Eu?

Why can't Eu players partecipate in the beta? Well i guess is due to ping, but that's absurd, in the end this is a card game, and you don't need to have low ping to play competitive.

Even the worse countries from Eu (as ISP) can play on the us with moderate ping (70-150).

I don't really see a reason not to allow Eu players on Na servers, in the end they would play at different times, allowing much more players with the same servers.

Beta testing for EU will happen some time after beta testing for NA opens. Picture it like you're going up a flight of stairs, and Hearthstone's release it at the top of the stairs. Each step you take should be stable before the next step is taken. If you take a step that creaks loudly or buckles, we can pinpoint the problematic stair and take the time to fix it before moving on to the next.

We know everyone is excited to make the climb, but just take it a step at a time. :)
