GM WoL should be replaced with another league, simply showing you are still above the current WoL masters but not a true old school WoL grandmaster.

Being GM in WoL is irrelevant now. My one friend who has always been a good masters player made it to GM in WoL when the current season started. But of course he isn't really that good. He just made it because all the active and good players are playing HotS instead of WoL. Was good to know you WoL!

Not even really newsworthy to be honest.

They could have quietly shut down the GM league in WoL and most of us would not have noticed.

So true^^

Not sure why ppl that doesn't play WoL anymore still care about WoL ladder. It's like "I don't use/play it, let's kill it.." to put it simply. Yes, I don't play and care about WoL gm but that doesn't mean that I should kill the fun for the few ppl still playing it to get gm there (for bragging or w/e reasons..).

Yea while to me this seems like a push on the WoL players to upgrade, im still ok with it. Their albeit veiled reasoning is still valid enough for me. get with the times people.
bring back weapon of choice for hots!

GOOD change People who say they cant get Gm anymore then just get it on HOTS

and for those who cant "buy" hots then just dont eat for a couple days and save 40$

or you shouldnt be focusing on starcraft in the first place and instead be focusing on getting a job that can afford you a 40$ game

Well, since balancing is being done primarily with regards to HotS, I strongly approve.
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!

Fair enough, GM in WoL was meaningless anyway now HotS is out.

Obviously you have never had to live pay check to paycheck and still be in debt. For the future don't go around disrespecting people that don't have the opportunity to budget 40$. For example I was in college, paying rent, insurance, tuition, working two jobs at minimum wage, going to classes, paying a food bill, gas bill, repairs on a used car and much more just like any standard college student and there was no way I could make payments on time. And guess what, I know people coming from unfortunate families who work two-three jobs and still can't afford college because they are just trying to get by. So don't be ignorant and think that taking up a better job is that easy. And at 1am when they get home and have 3 hrs to try and spend some time having fun before going to sleep and waking up to their first job again, if they want to go ahead and focus on Starcraft as the outlet to their already tough life, who the hell are you to say they should be focusing on getting a better job when they already have 2. The world is not as easy as creating insults so maybe you should think a second before you post something like that.

Very disrespectful from blizzard.
GM simply presents top players within a certain frame, regardless of what state it is in.
Can't possibly imagine what harm keeping GM for WoL could have caused...

Maybe Blizzard can save a couple of dollars per week for maintainance by removing GM from WoL.
