Continue or start with the new GSL champion. MLG is not THE tournament; I don´t think it would be appropriate to start with the MLG champion, otherwise you would have to rewrite the WoL-championship starting with Morrow because of IEM Cologne as well. I personally would prefer the continue the line.

Life is never going to lose a series again anyway, you guys are over thinking this.

But seriously, GSL is > MLG but this GSL is not HOTS It's wol so I see no reason it would award the HOTS unofficial world champion title. either MLG winner or keep current one.

I think it means 2013 Season 2 since it's HoTS. Like hold off until then

Wait. Why is there a discussion that HotS should change anything?

The world champion doesn't end somewhere. There must always be one! If Life loses a game then obviously he's not fit to be the unofficial world champion. Isn't this the point of the entire UWC belt? Everything offline should count. It's volatile. It's random. It's funny.

If Life loses in a Bo1 GSTL beta-HotS comp then so be it. World champs have been knocked out in team league snipes since the beginning.

Should definitely continue is my vote. What good is it being in a world where we don't have a UWC? Even for a month?

Agreed, just continue it as normal, HotS or not. SC2 is SC2 for the purposes of UWC

The other argument is these are basically showmatches (as shown by the starting players) and shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

What if we split the title into multiple titles :

- WoL Champion
- HotS Champion
- LotV Champion

- Overall SC2 Champion

Continue on, nothing changes. This just gives us a chance to award a lifetime award, as soon as an UWC drops the title in HotS we do the math.

If showmatches played in a live setting count, then why wasn't white-ra champion after he beat idra at wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/ASUS_ROG_Stars_Invite in one of the showmatches after the event?

So either we count showmatches and the whole list is wrong, or we don't and the list is still wrong? What showmatches were counted previously?
