I think Hots will be very unstable and imbalanced in all kinds of ways for atleast 6 months so a WoL tournament would have been nice every now and then. Only problem is no pros will practice it.

I Love WoL, but does anyone look back at Starcraft and not think BW was a way better game

BW is still one of the best games ever made for me, and I think it is better than WoL, but I don't think that WoL is bad game at all. I think that WoL is actually a great game, it is just that people have really high expectations because they've played BW.

not really. hots already seems more fun to watch and more fun to play.

As one of the "bubble" players who got on board when WoL first spiked in popularity and for the last ~6 months has barely followed the scene, I have to say HoTS is what's going to bring me back. In the meantime I'm still open to really good WoL tournies; Iron Squid II was awesome. But when HoTS is here I'm switching over fully.

After IPL6 I doubt it. That will probably be the end of WoL for me, I've stopped playing it already.

Does anyone still watch pre Broodwar starcraft 1? Or even play it? WoL could be good for some fun tournaments where the players will have forgotten most of the meta.

Only for IPL6, and that's only for certain players. Not as much for entertaining gameplay. Even in its unstable beta phase I find HotS superior to WoL.

I'm also anticipating IM to make it to the finals against Startale in IPLTL. So that's something else that has me hyped for IPL6 as you can see from the bottom right corner of my posts.

WoL has been a joke to be honest. Zerg has been a joke for over a year, I can't believe it got left in such an overpowered state til the very end. *sigh*

It depends for me. For example, I believe the IPL 6 main tournament will still be WoL so I will definitely watch. But, my focus will certainly be more on HoTS.

When Proleague round 4 starts and this season of GSL ends WOL is dead to me.I will only focus on HotS.

i wish they would offer BW with the new WoL engine, hotkeys, rally points etc....

That would be SO fun. I'd pay a $5.00 patch or something for the new engine.

You could play
BW
WoL
HoTS

While I will eventually switch over to HOTS completely But I'm going to wait untill it's actually balanced first. Thats one reason I'm thankful IPL 6 will be WOL. It will be the last major tournament we will see in a while that will be even close to the balance we got in WOL.

Unless someone cool suddenly becomes super gosu like TLO starts destroying Code S, i will not def not bother with WoL. The next GSL is probably the last WoL tournament i'll watch.

If it's a tournament I'm emotionally invested in, like the DSCL or MLG or something, I would totally watch it.
