So tomorrow (or today if in Korea) we'll get to find out Blizzard is pushing HOTS to 2013. That's my guess at least.

However I am curious as to what the community feels will be the annoucement.

EDIT: URL to last conf call recap with 3/9 date:

That one kid over there, but it's already being laughed at.

Why can't it be a D3 announcement?

would be even better to see a D3 release announcement, difference is that Blizz said that they would announce that any day now, so it's more likely that than HotS imo

Is it specifically about SC2 and/or Heart of the Swarm? Blizzard has more babies than just StarCraft.

not to be a dick but even if it was backwards 9/3 would be september, not october

I doubt they will make an actual release announcement, but maybe something like "HOTS beta soon"

Guys this call is mostly just monetary gains and expected earnings over the last quarter. So they may not even broach the subject. Then again, they know that tons of people will be on the call, so maybe they will!
