Blizzard have changed the rules of the Hardcore level 100 contest after community backlash. Many posts sprung up in the last few days criticizing the fact that those given review copies and similar access to the pre-release version would have a significant advantage over other players. In response, Blizzard have added a new section of the rules excluding these players from participating in the contest. We've already seen some community members voluntarily take themselves out of the running, but now it's official.

AND (VII) WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY INVITED TO DOWNLOAD THE PRE-RELEASE REVIEW VERSION OF THE GAME DURING THE MONTH OF MAY 2023.
You can read the full competition rules here.
Now, obviously some of those players will still be racing for the first Hardcore level 100. However, they will not be eligible to enter the contest itself. This means that only players that have had no experience with the game other than the public betas will be able to get their names on the Lilith statue.
General manager of the Diablo franchise, Rod Fergusson, also commented on the new rules:
Speaking of the statue, Blizzard President Mike Ybarra recently clarified the details on that:
And he also thanked the community for their swift feedback on the problems:

He did it again! Wudjio is back on the Diablo 4 Server Slam this weekend, pushing for the ultimate achievement: a solo kill of the World Boss Ashava. He had already done it during the last two beta weekends, but players were level 25 then and had a 300% buff to legendary item drop rates!
That made this particular achievement especially great, as many players have been complaining about just how much harder the boss now is. This is in part due to the lower level cap, but there were also many tuning changes to the classes affecting their power.
And if that wasn't enough for you, here's another one, from DeadgeRogue:
And another, and this one isn't even a Rogue, as Alkaizer took the boss down on his Barbarian. You can check out the clip here.
While you may not be able to solo the boss yourself, you can definitely find more players to help. You can also check out the boss spawn times here as there’s only around two more days left to get that exclusive mount trophy!
Wudjio even got a mention by Diablo 4 Community Manager PezRadar!
