Square has begun to roll out them alpha keys, so keep a sharp eye out on your inboxes! Also, if you haven't already, go sign up for an alpha key!

It's not on a first-come-first-serve basis. I haven't applied yet (I'm not at home) so I don't know what information you're sending them, but if you send system specs, they're probably basing their decisions on that. If not, then I don't know what to tell you. Be patient, and expect that you might not get picked.

It keeps telling me I'm in the wrong region. Is this not for the US?

Alpha testing is necessarily exclusive, and turn around time for decisions on who gets in can take a while. Remember: It's not a club you're joining. The developers need to pick out people that they (a) think will be able to adequately test the system and (b) aren't going to go blabbing about what they see. To be quite honest, I'm surprised there's a public alpha invitation. They're usually done in-house, and with people the company trusts.
Just relax and be patient, but, again, expect not to get anything at all.

I may or may not have been invited to Alpha.

Since they need to fill about 1000 spots to keep testing zone/server stability with their goal of 1000 people in active battles simultaniously, and I think an eventual 5000 person server load, I can see why they're sending out Alpha invites to begin with.
That, and I think Yoshi-P really wants to show of the game, and it's another way to keep the current community satisfied and interested until ARR.

I tried to re-apply and got the same thing. I don't know why, there's no explanation for it. But I would imagine that they either closed the applications for right now, or they just forgot to change the region lol
