So maybe we have to wait a while, but lets be honest. this thread being inactive, for even three months, won't ruin anyones life. And much later when we are going through the unofficial world champions, we can all joke and make fun at how BEAR, a nobody, held the tittle for such a long time. its like being a part of history. sure, it may be as fun as watching grass grow as we wait, but i personally think it's worth it.


You're right it wont ruin anyone's life but it takes the fun out of it if It's inactive for months.

So, we can make an extra rule, about how long someone can stay inactive as the world champion, AND, what to do with the title after this period has passed. Eg. recalculate as if the match that Bear won had not happened?

You could make a poll on it

Think of it this way; it will be super special when Bear plays next because of the wait.

Do you mean something like this poll? We had a discussion about what happens when a player becomes inactive (started because of Bear) and this seemed to be the result. Personally I voted in favour of stripping a player if he was inactive for a long time but the poll said I am in the minority.

That was more than a month ago (which is like two months in SC2 time!), we can definitely do another discussion/poll on this now that it seems Bear is not playing. Though we could wait until Proleague Round 4 ends (if Bear hasn't played by that time, then we definitely should think about adding a rule about inactive players losing their title).

That poll is also not clear on whether people don't want the UWC title to expire, or whether they found the GSL season period too long/short.

Well, we should at least hope Bear comes out of his winter sleep now that spring is starting

if he includes Code A qualifiers now, im going to have to insist he includes all previous and future Code A Qualifiers, otherwise it just wont be as special anymore.

RorO earned the Title, and then Bear beat him, therefore Bear earned the Title too, its not fair to just call it cause you want to see it change, do you even care about the flow of the title, who previously had it? or only who currently has it and who currently steals it?


Previous code A qualifiers were never casted locally as far as I know? As long as they weren't casted live on location, they don't count.

Except the poll had an option "I would like to propose another solution." Hence I assumed that any "Nay" vote was a vote for the status quo.

OK, it's been long enough. Here's the compromise everyone can get behind.

Life is your (super-unofficial) HoTS-only WORLD CHAMPION!
Next defense:
April 12: GSTL Startale vs. Prime??
April 18: GSL Code S Group G, first match vs. (Z)Leenock

March 17 2013:
(Z)Life wins the (Wiki)2013 MLG Winter Championship and is the first HoTS UWC

We shouldn't use MLG imo. Probably better to use GSL, since that is what we used to originally begin WoL.

I think it might be better just to call Bear the final UWC of WoL, and start a new one for HotS, since it technically is 2 different games.

my proposed solution was that, if bear hasn't played by the time a new GSL champion was crowned, then the title would go to him

This seems quite fair. I agree.

Yeah, GSL will probably be used. Even if you used a non-GSL tournament, the first major HotS tourney was IEM, so it would be YoDa. Still I'm hoping Bear actually plays and loses so he doesn't hog the title forever.

Or plays and wins so his solidifies his title as the best player in the world.

I'm willing to wait for bear. If you guys just disqualify him for not playing, and then he plays later, you'll regret it.
