I'm genuinely curious how this will play out. So far I've only seen ladder games of HotS but it'll be interesting to see some top progamers play out against each other with a genuine desire to win.

I wonder what the race distribution will be and if any really abusive strategies will be pulled out. Also, curious about the overall quality/entertainment value of the games - is PvZ going to be a snoozefest or more action-packed?

PS. Also, would be epic if Jaedong and Flash could play each other and actually make sick games out of it.

Should be fun, I doubt any of those players have played a lot of HotS or will be playing that seriously though, so it probably won't say much of anything about the state of the game currently

This better not turn into a WOL invitational called HOTS.

Cant wait to see any new plays/strats they might come up with.

Well it's showmatches so i think the players are just going to goof around with the new units instead of just going for the same shit they've been doing for the last couple months :p

And every single fucking Korean says: I will try to show good games for the fans. This is their chance!

I think they will probably have max armies with a mix of old and new units and just throw them at each other while casting as many spells as they can.

Any idea on how to watch this?

PS: I did a quick search on TL event schedule, but didn't found any. Might have been an epic fail on my part though.

Funny that MKP is there, since he already said that he thinks HOTS is a bad game and the new units are shitty ^^.

Fact: No one has ever turned this video off early. Everyone who watches this is physically incapable of looking away until it's over.
