I wouldn't say that. That's the date for when you can create an account and download the game. Doesn't say open beta launch date.

And when you can download the client. I'd say thats a good enough indication as to the start date.

That's the date when you can download the files, maybe it's for getting ready for the Open Beta.

I hope it's the same for EU.

Quick Question.

Will our Open Beta accounts be our final accounts for when the game goes live and we enter our headstart or will we create another account for the actual game release?
