There's probably as many (especially among ESF) going for IPL (especially with the IPTL) as there are for other tournaments I also think WoL is more fair for the up and downs because you are far less likely to be blind-sided by a completely new build in a bo1 scenario. With HotS release imminent you know there's still some gimmicky shit people are going to cook up to grab a free win somewhere =p HotS would be better going forward, but I think WoL will provide a stabler experience for the players in the U & D's | ||

I think for all the fallen code S players in the up/down. They very likely have been on WoL exclusively for the final season. Then there's the kespa players that have to play proleague in Wings on a weekly basis. | ||

Aren't Up&Downs always considered being part of the following season? So, the upcoming Up&Downs would be formally part of Season 2, right? It doesn't make sense not to have them being played in HotS, tbh. | ||

The transition phase from WoL to HotS brings that with it and whatever option you choose is some kind of compromise. | ||
