Would you like to have the Lycan League remain Legacy of the Void?

Yesterday was exciting and it would be great to have a way to constantly monitor the progress of the Beta. There's also the added bonus of giving pros a forum/incentive to try things out and help us continue to create good content. Now, INB4 money grab, the numbers I saw for yesterday were on par with the usual HotS Lycan League when there isn't a major tournament going on. Also, I don't make money off the Lycan League.

Additionally, if we continue with Legacy of the Void, I can start holding Archon Mode weeks. Players doing Archon Mode will both earn points for the single player finals. I'm already considering this for the Beta Series Week #3.

I would like to run two tournaments and if some things in the pipeline work out, that will happen. Then I'll have a NA AND EU cup (both with a buffed prize pool). Once that happens I'll alternate between the two (i.e. when one is HotS the other will be LotV) until Legacy is launched.

Since this is a community tournament I would like your feedback on the matter. I have time to make my final decision, so mull it over, have some cheese, sleep on it a few nights, then get back to me. Let's make magic happen, folks! (As I wrote the last two sentences, my inner monologue was using Cave Johnson's voice).

I think it's a little too early to say. Maybe see how the beta works out in the next few weeks or so.

Definitely want it to remain a LotV tournament. LotV is what is most interesting right now. Memories of the King of the Beta tournament way back when. Part of the excitement is the chaos of the beta.

i would love to see it being a tournament for lotv. But i think the smarter move would be to coordinate with desrow, so that one keeps doing hots and the other lotv.

What do I have to do to get you to respond to my other tweets?

I would very much like the Lycan league to continue with LotV!

Mix it up, making every second week lotv. As for finals... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a league that rose to fill the space of Zotac cup, I think it should stay as HotS. But the current major interest is now set on LotV. So my final vote is to keep playing it in the Beta, Blizzard already said they are inviting more people, and they will keep doing it in a weekly basis (or bi weekly), I won't see a problem, won't be something stale and "boring" like the current HotS metagame.

Man, keep it up with LotV. People want the LotV beta access so much, the same is with streams - we can watch GSL and WCS Finals HotS but other than that - LotV is all that matters. You can be the guy who paved the way. Think about it. Cheers!

Please keep it on LotV
We have very little LotV content right now for viewers/consumers.
I would really love to see how the beta develops every week as people get better the game.

Same here, LotV all the way. My interest for HotS has taken quite a nose dive since the beta started. I don't think I've watched a single HotS stream since then, other than WCS this week-end... and it's not really making me want to go back to watching HotS.

It may just be because everything is still a big clusterfuck right now, but LotV games are just so much more fun to watch. I can only imagine what it's like to play it though :'(
