Need Clarification: Global Beta Release Does Not Mean PTCGO Is Closed Beforehand, Right?

The plan is for PTCGL's Beta to become globally released sometime this month, or next.

Due to this still in the Beta stage, that means Pokemon TCG Online (PTCGO) will continue to operate until PTCGL becomes fully released out of it's Beta stage, yes?

I would appreciate the clarification on this, as I'm sure many do as well.
