Considering the shitty meta game across all matchups; of course they all want to switch

Pretty obvious that they'll switch right away tbh, but still nice to hear it from the man himself

This is what he said he'd like to happen, but from talking to him, I don't think it's a realistic possibility for the near future

Is this supposed to be a surprise? lol
I don't think any league should use WoL after HotS is released, granted HotS is better

There's no point to NOT switching. Like sure maybe midseason, you should finish it out. New season after HOTS release should be HOTS or viewers won't care.


Indeed.

It'll also be EXTREMELY interesting to see whether SPL switches mid season because of this in their year long season.

I suppose having 6 rounds should enable them to be somewhat flexible with that.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

It was inevitable, I mean, how much longer will the WoL scene exist after HotS comes out? People will likely get the expansion, and play on HotS rather than WoL, just like how BW switched from SC1 to BW. If viewers want to see the best of the best play, it is necessary to have pros get in the scene ASAP so they adapt a lot quicker, and people will be interested in seeing the games. As long as the transition happens smoothly, I'm happy.

That first season when the pros are competing in HOTS will be REALLY interesting... we will find out who the real innovators are then.

I am sure every league will switch to HOTS. Its a not really a big deal.


Presumably yes, but GSL is the first to actually confirm well ahead of time. I wouldn't be surprised if this provokes every other league to confirm their participation in HotS before the end of the year.
