Blizzard forgot to explain what was going on this weekend and a lot of people think they got beta when they didn't.

Hey all,
We've seen some confusion from players who've recently had their account flagged for the Overwatch beta not knowing which type of invite they received: Beta Test Weekend or Closed Beta.
We sincerely apologize for this confusion and hope to provide some clarity.
If you've been invited to the Beta Test Weekend:
You will see an "Install" button in the Overwatch tab of the Battle.net desktop app
You will see an "Overwatch Beta" license in Account Management
You will receive an email titled "Play the Overwatch Beta This Weekend!"
You will be able to post in the following forums beginning Friday around 9:00 a.m. PST:
Stress Test Feedback
Stress Test Tech Support
Stress Test Bug Report
If you've been invited to the Closed Beta:
You will see an "Install" button in the Overwatch tab of the Battle.net desktop app
You will see an "Overwatch Beta" license in Account Management
You will receive an email titled "Welcome to the Overwatch Closed Beta!"
You will be able to post in the following forums immediately:
Beta Feedback
Beta Tech Support
Beta Bug Report
Your feedback on this whole process has been greatly appreciated, and we’re already taking steps to make improvements for the future. (For example, we recognize that having Account Management display separate licenses for Closed Beta and Beta Test Weekends would have made it easier for players to see which type of invite they received.)
In the meantime, thank you to everyone who can help us stress test our hardware this weekend. We also hope you’ll take some time to share your thoughts and experiences here in our official forums.
