Nice!

These big tourneys after the game is out for like 2 weeks are the best because people are still trying out few things and are finding new ways to play certain strategies, which means we could see a lot of crazy stuff. I am pumped!

depends how many will train to counter the most op unit of each race. If enough do it we will have semis and finals, where no one knows how to close out the games, so they will be epic long.

Will be good for balancing the multiplayer haha.

Too bad there is no korean qualifier and only wildcards, but I still can't wait! HYPE!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

the complaints about how the game will be broken and not figured out are hilarious. in what world is the first major tournament of an expansion going to be perfectly balanced and reward the best players from the previous expansion?

Yes, the Heart of the Swarm release was definitely perfectly balanced. No races whose new units forced multiple successive nerfs. Definitely just fine.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Because it has always been bad is a reason not to complain that it is bad?
Ok.

Well, it simply is not possible to balance the game without the highest level of play going on for a significant amount of time.
And no, the current LOTV playerpool IS NOT the highest level.

I hope the game is playable at that point. Should definitely be interesting though.

Doesn't help that the map pool is one of the worse map pools to test game balance on needed a more racial diverse map pool to see what is actually truely strong instead of 75% of the pool being strong for zerg which might make them look stronger then they truely are when the adept finally gets nerfed and bio might actually be playable on different map pool :D.

Its funny how people talk about LotV as if the game was already figured out. Before we have the korean scene playing with KR servers and proper ping, nothing is definitive. The game will not be balanced before the first GSL season and we don't even know what is broken atm.

That is true but i had hoped they would at least give LotV some time before hosting a big tournament with it. At this point Blizzard is not even done with the design choices and while there is still 2 months left, i don't think it will be that stable. Only my opinion though.
And yes the player pool is not the highest level, not at all. But that's understandable when there is no money and/or fame to win yet in LotV
