I'm sure they would love to do both, but I doubt that they have the staff to do it. My bets on SC2 but confirmation from Xeris or Hazelynut would be nice for team planning.

as awesome as BW is... the reality is that the majority of people don't care about it anymore now that SC2 will be out. It's going to be hard for schools to get a consistent lineup going for BW when everyone's playing SC2

will you guys need Blizzard's approval and whatnot to run it?

Technically, Blizzard can only sign agreements with legal entities, but I think TL does it anyway x_x at some point the eSports guy was like, "wait, TL isn't a company?" Last season we technically required confirmation, but they don't seem to care much.

Do BW =D. Or at least do something interesting for a format, like
1v1 SC2
1v1 BW
2v2 SC2
1v1 BW
1v1 SC2

Problem with that is that it's terribly annoying for organization. Imagine hopping on and off those games and trying to coordinate. T_T

we'll have to do a compromise.

all games will be in SC2 but you can only use units from SC1 and you cant use automine or mbs, and only select 12 units at a time.

Haha, that's opposite of what we're having. A good chunk of players want it to stay BW. Granted, we'll probably get a swarm of players if it's SC2, and I kinda don't want to deal with that as a coordinator >>

I'm not the biggest fan of a combo of alternating games for one match, just because it'd be difficult to set up who does what and stuff and going back n forth. I think with the popularity of SC2 coming in, so many people will play it exclusively it'll be near impossible to find anyone who wants to even go back to BW, and to the BW enthusiasts, maybe a smaller league can be formed too where people can play those also, I don't know how to set it up, it is a difficult situation, but I know I'm in it for SC2

I will say that we will definitely not be running dual leagues (SC and SC2) and we won't combine both games in the same league :p

When you consider that during SC2 beta, people weren't playing BW and had no practice for CSL, I think SC2 is definitely gonna be the more popular choice. Since beta, I don't think there's been a single week of CSL where I didn't hear someone from the other team talk about how rusty they are at BW from playing SC2. I'd think you'd also have a much bigger pool of players, so those borderline teams can more easily field a consistent team, and the teams that just didn't have enough players (hi Algonquin) have a higher chance of grabbing an extra player or 2 for SC2 that would otherwise not play BW.

The way I see it, lots of people that aren't going to play BW will play SC2, and the majority of people that would have played BW will make the switch to SC2

I'm not in CSL this coming season so what I think probably has less weight than current participants, but the way the entire foreign scene is shifting so heavily toward SC2, I don't see BW being played nearly as much

This clearly means SC2 then because it won't be much of a league if it's BW only :p
