Anyone that cares is going to switch to Hots, just like everyone switched to bw. I know once hots comes out, I won't be touching wol again.

I don't think there will be a split pro scene as once hots is firmly established I see every league switching to it.

By the time it is released WoL will be 2 1/2 - 3 years old. That's not too fast. That's slow, even for Blizzard.

Yup this, and the pro's are the same way. I would be surprised if many people at all still played WoL after HOTS is released.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Yes, I'm blown away by people saying 2+ years is rushing it. It's not even a new game, but an expansion. Majority of the game assets are already there, so you don't need a huge dev cycle to build from the ground up.

Considering how long it took to release Diablo III after the Beta, I would not be surprised if HotS is released for Christmas

I'm pretty excited for mini-thors and battle hellions. Of course, a faster hellion would be better, but I'll take what I can get. =)

too soon ? lol.. Too long you mean. I want to see change. Some matchups while not imbalanced, are getting a bit stale for my viewing pleasure. So i cant wait to see the new build.

People need to think. No professional players are going to stick with WoL

Wow this is big news. I didn't expect the beta for HOTS tho come out so soon. If anything I thought it would come out early next year.

Most people who say it's being rushed are just whining because specific balance change x that they really want and totally know will fix every problem ever hasn't been announced.

I'm stoked, hope they give everyone who was in WoL beta a HotS beta key :D

Could cause some issues in terms of balance and scare viewers off watching imbalanced games

I don't think anyone will stay with Wings of Liberty, everyone is gonna switch over because its expansion no one stayed in Original SC they all played BW. And WoL is getting boring, everyone is gonna want to play the new units.

I don't understand. Why is the competitive scene sticking to WoL for an extended period after the retail release of HotS?

It feels like my birthday has taken place all week, but it was a month ago. So hyped I'll reserve my excitement until I see it in action but I'm very psyched for this! Was wondering in the back of my head if they'd announce beta after MLG but it's so good to get confirmation!

Was hoping for a major revamp of Protoss (in particular warp gates). So far HOTS is just a few extra units.

Poor form by Blizzard.

This is the release of the beta, not the game itself. You can still see enormous balance changes to the expansion based on beta feedback.
