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?

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.

That is true but i had hoped they would at least give LotV some time before hosting a big tournament with it.

Strange though this may seem, I like that they kinda rush competitive LotV play. I think the quicker we have big prizes tourneys on LotV, the quicker we'll discover what's wrong with the game (because let's face it, a huge bunch is bound to be severely wrong) and (hopefully) the quicker Blizzard reacts and patches. So I think this is a wise decision.

I'd be surprised if they had ALL their decisions right and would ask myself how many children they sacrifised to the devil to get them all right - there is realistically a 0% chance to get a balanced and well-designed game done first try. Big tournaments might help, you could be right, and at least this might help the big korean tournaments to work with a decently fixed LotV and we won't see band-aid fixes in the middle of a ro16 for example.
Anyway we will be a lot wiser at the end of the year. I'm definatley tuning in for the DH and even if it is just for some hilarious or awkward cheeses. Would be fun as well!

with a competent team in charge, the well-designed game odds would have been better. I agree there is close to zero chance to have something even remotely balanced.

The only thing I wonder is will they have the balls to do big magnitude changes after release ? For instance, if eco or warpgate rework really prove detrimental after two months of tournament play, can they swallow their pride and revert the changes ? They won't die, it's not poison, but Blizzard can be quite stubborn sometimes.

whatever we think about it, that unfinished game is the future of SC2. Could be its demise, but they have to invest in it.
