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."


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.


WoL GM means nothing, so while it's not an issue for me to just view their profile and realize it's WoL, there's still no point in having WoL GM anyway. I see it that way, and lucky for me, so does blizzard.

You'd be surprised. I had 3 people show it off z_Z (One who couldn't afford HoTs, so I guess 2).

While they are at it they should also remove the highest achieved league from guys that got it after hots

My guess is the reason they remove it is to not be able to see how unbalanced their game was.

yep. It's good that the title gets it's meaning again.
I still think it's lame that people have multiple accounts in GM, making it harder for others to get in.

Lol. WoL Zerg is ridiculous :D
HotS Zerg will be too, in time. It's the fate of this game after all.

Good change. Was dumb seeing people grind wol ladder for it or people with a 300-310 record who were a diamond player pre-hots being a GM

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 …

Because it is?

Hots is the competitive version of sc2 now, Wings is just something people play that havent bought hots yet

Yup. They also think losing to a "Masters" in HotS is sad.
