It depends. I don't think that WoL will ever be considered as good of a game as HotS (at least I sure hope so). Playing WoL on stuff like tl attack or more fun lighthearted community tournaments: yes.

Something as large and serious as TLS? No.

Well I'm definitely going to watch IPL6 so yes I guess. That's just because I know it will have a godly lineup though. Probably won't watch anymore after that.

I'm being naively hopeful that HotS will drastically improve SC2 gameplay and tactics.

Of course there will be tournaments, and of course i will watch them. It will be interesting to see how the metagame will keep changing and i hope blizzard keeps on patching wol.

Nope, not interested in those already, even before HotS release.
Maybe I'll check IPL6 if there will be some good matches starting from RO16 or so though.

Oh and I think WoL will be completely abandoned by Blizzard short after HotS release. Main team are gonna work on HotS and it's balance ofc and later, on LotV.
WoL will most likely get some battle.net changes whenever HotS will get em too.
And it makes sense. Pro scene and the most of casuals gonna switch to HotS, no way Blizzard will work hard to fix anything in WoL just for a few people who are still playing.

HotS does seem to be an ovetrall better game than WoL from what I have seen. I dont see myself going back once I switch.
Never Forget.

No. Maybe some random fun stuff here and there but everyone will be moving on into HOTS. There won't be much left for WOL.

The finals of IPL 6 will be the exception.

This is kinda like asking if you would be interested in starcraft tourneys when brood war comes out. I really don't see any pro-gamers sticking to WoL over HotS.

I loved WoL, I couldn't keep playing it because I couldn't play often enough, but it is a great game. That said, I don't want to see WoL played on anything more serious than just dicking around games like TL attack after HotS. HotS is a far superior looking game right now, it is just so open to change and is brimming with new micro potential, situational play, and much more than WoL had. HotS is a worthy descendent of WoL and should be treated as such. That said, WoL is still great and should be treated as such .

If the WoL tournament consists of interesting players, then sure.

For me it's all about the players, not which game they play.

At least at the start, Hots will consume my interest. Im willing to say idk in the long run. However Personally with new units and more options. And hopefully fixed to make hots more and more balanced, Hots will be the more interesting to watch in the long run as well.

A one off nostalgia event from time to time could be fun, but by and large no. I don't want division in my viewing and i don't want players training what will effectively be two different games.

HotS better not be arse. Ball is in Blizzar's court.

edit: definitely speaking short term, if there's a couple of WoL tournaments in the month or two after HotS release, that's fine. I'm not going to draw a magic line and say NO MORE WOL once HotS ships. That's a bit silly. HotS will take a few months to sink in i would think and in that time if there's WoL on i'm not gonna actively avoid it. Long term though, no.

Not much, perhaps a small event here and there for a good reason. Otherwise full steam HotS ahead.
