As long as people play WoL there would inevitably have been Grandmaster players, not necessarily because they were playing for "shinies" but just cos they were the best players remaining in WoL.

Good change, although it doesn't really change anything; might just stop another way for a low masters/high dia troll to say "im gm im good"

Thank god. It's annoying to see someone with a GM portrait and it ends up being from WoL. Especially when they player is all like "errmagerrdd, I hit gm."

You could just have more space in your profile. But yes, GM WoL no longer needed or meaningful.

Damn! And I have my last exam the 10th of june! I don't think I can make GM in one day in WoL before it's all done ;p

In all seriousness, this confused the crap out of me the first time i faced someone who had GM in WoL. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that SC2 postgame score showed him as masters, but my SC2gears showed him as GM, so good change! =p

Could have just made it show your highest hots league when playing hots and highest wol when playing wol. Stupid and waste of time change, should be focused on something important?

And why is that an issue?

Honestly I feel blizzard is doing nothing but shunning those who still have WOL and have not moved onto HOTS. At the very least they could of found some way to make a distinction between HOTS GM and WOL GM instead of just scrapping the whole league. Rather pathetic move.

Approve. Sometimes I click on the Liberty GrandMaster list and it's almost funny what the WoL GM ladder has degenerated too. We don't need that anymore imo.

Agree with this.

Unless they changed Wol GM to "semi-grandmasters" or something. All the pros are in hots so Wol GM has lost a lot of prestige. Making masters can still be considered a great accomplishment though.

Just look at sc2ranks.com to see if you're in the top 200.

It's bad because blizzard is evil, they are forcing you to buy hots, anything that doesn't pertain to what I want is a waste of time, etc.

In my opinion a really dickish move. Now they are treating WoL as a 2nd class game which does not deserve a GM league. What a bunch of ass hats …

._. the game died on HotS release day. How are they asshats for discontinuing something that is not necessary to keep up with? tbh, it kind of annoyed me to see that people still went into tryhard mode and got gm on WoL JUST to look like they're good.

And there goes any chance I might have had of making GM... not that I'd have spent any time playing WoL anyway

Good change IMO

It sounds pretty pointless to completely remove it though? Just make the GM icon from WoL have some winged theme and all confusion should be solved, without removing the motivation to be recognized among the best of a given region.

Quite silly IMO.
