Why is it called an "closed" alpha?... and what happened to "beta"?...

Are you genuinely confused, or are you just pointing out the confusing mix of the words alpha and beta in this article?

A comes before B, therefore Alpha, Beta. See here for reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet

Open & Closed refers to how its tested, so closed testing might be limited to 100 people to test game mechanics and optimisations, open testing would be for things like server load or to test PvP or multi player situations where you need few thousand people.
