Hmm, I always watch IEM, their tournaments are great. But I don't like this move at all, it is the championship final, an ending to a season of WoL tournaments, where players worked hard to qualify for. It is really strange to end the season with HotS, you can't change the rules during the game...

What about (P)MC, (P)PartinG and (Z)Symbol? They are still in Wings mode because of Code S. In fact, if they reach the finals they might very well cancel IEM altogether.

IEM is from 5th to 9th March
Code S Semifinals is on February 28 and March 1
Code S Finals is on March 9


If MC vs. PartinG/Symbol is the GSL finals, then congratulations to YoDa and Daisy for replacing them.

Well, the same is for players going to IPL (2 of ST, IM, EG, MVP teams will take 6 players each).

IPL6 is March 28th-31st... What does IPL have to do with an event going on three and a half weeks earlier? Plenty of time to prepare for WoL in the time period between events...

Nice that Blizzard supports the switch, of course it is perfect PR for HotS. I don't really mind as I have seen enough tournaments that had Balance patches before.
And most pros that didn't touched HotS will fall for the easiest stuff for the next couple of month anyway. So it doesn't really matter when it begins, it will last long enough.

Wow.. as much as I can't wait to watch a HotS tournament, this really sucks if they didn't tell the players.

Its a test to dedication to the game of starcraft. Who will be better prepared for HOTS??
I mean guys, they are smart, they have the mechanic, whats the big deal?

BTW i love this move, gogo IEM

So the less dedicated people will have an advantage? ;-)

This is a dumb decision. A week before the release means a lot of players won't have been able to practise appropriately. Just like the standard of WoL play has been good in this GSL it would be fitting to have the same in Europe.

Oh well, I hope the quality of games don't suffer for it.

Btw, from PartinG's last GSL interview.

The Sky Toss composition that you showed today looks like it'll be useful in Heart of the Swarm, too.

I don't know too well because I haven't played Heart of the Swarm yet, but I heard from players around me that Sky Toss is powerful in HotS.


He's in great shape for the tournament, I guess.

I dont think its fair move to the players i guess. Slivko was playing wol too just because of IEM. And if they wanted to switch the game, they should tell the players much much sooner. I think the games won't be as proffesional as they would in WoL, cuz HotS is too "fresh"

WoL was just boring for months. Thanks IEM, MLG, and GSL to switch asap. Maybe it will be less "balanced" but so much funnier to watch.
