Hopefully will be HotS only, having 2 games playing at same time would either: A) Split the talent B) Make the pros suck becuase the have to train for 2 different games.

Voted no, IPL will be the exception as I see it as the official end of WoL, but after that no more WoL pls!

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

Now let's add a shot of optimism to this.
Pros are already saying that they love HotS, and I agree. It's much easier to come back from being way behind (for now at least), the new units are fun/a bit challenging to micro and micro against. So I 'm not sure I'd care for WoL after all the changes that HotS has done to lliven SC2 up.
Let me say though, if the Oracle doesn't get nerfed before the official release...

Was anyone interested in the vanilla Starcraft after Broodwar came out? For capmaign maybe but not for multiplayer.

it all depends on the metagame of HotS at release, though I think its fairly safe to say that once HoTS is released that will be the end of WoL tournament interest.

Well, the question is how many big WoL tournaments will exist when HotS is released.

I will watch both Wol and HotS as often es possible.

If top tier players were playing in the WoL tourney, then yes, I'd watch.

Other than that I'd have no desire to do so.

I've lost interest in WoL even before HotS beta was released, so definitely not.

Im going to watch IPL 6 but that will be the last one.

Still wish HotS was more different though.

An occasional nostalgia tournament might be alright but any tournament billing itself as a "serious" event on WoL will be plain stupid.

Like. . .I get tournaments that happen just after release, but anything a month or so after it when everyone is properly transitioned is just pointless.

Of course there will be wol 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.

I think the exact opposite.
It make absolutely no doubt that WoL will instantly die just like vanilla SC1 when Broodwar came out.

I still have interest for BW and still try to follow the amateur scene (thanks snipealot2 stream for that haha), but it is BW... WoL will just die and to be fair I'm not enjoying the HotS games that I've been seeing so far... maybe when JD, Bisu and the programers I like start to play it, it will catch my interest.

Nope, no interest whatsoever, I already don't care about WoL tournaments and I'm waiting for HotS to come out.

In a way, it's like asking if you want to watch Starcraft 1 over Brood War. Personally, I like what HotS is offering at the moment, and as long as it keeps that momentum I think I'll enjoy watching HotS way more than WoL.

This is in terms of big tournaments. I wouldn't mind small, fun and casual games in WoL every now and then.
