Valid point. If there is a change in balance, then pros should be able to prepare and practice the new balance before playing games where money/ranking/nerd pride is on the line.
I think it was Sheth that had the idea of a Zeta server, where they keep the pre-patch balance for tournaments to use if they push out a balance patch right as tournament is about to start.
Either give them time to practice, or give them the ability to play on the previous patch for the tournament.

I think it is a bad to leave it to the tournements as to which version of WOL they wanna play on.
Also Blizzard can't cater to the tournements very much really THEY HAPPEN ALL THE TIME! Delay it a week for IEM, bam suddenly an MLG. Well maybe not in January but you get my point. Also Patching happens on set days so delaying a few days is not really viable.
