Just coming back to the game from two years away.. Where'd spectating go?

I've got this here beta client thingy, because it apparently allows for use of a built in replay viewer. SUPER handy tool for improving your play, something I value highly coming from very competitive SC2 and HotS backgrounds. But uhh... It seems my other major learning tool, the spectating of high elo games at will, is gone suddenly? Is it just temporarily disabled in this client? or is it gone gone?

It's a feature not yet available in the beta client. It'll be coming back in the next patch or two, but for now you'll have to log into the old client if you want to spectate.

Oh, crap. I thought you were talking about spectating friends. That's coming back probably next patch. If you want to spectate high elo players, try out "Spectate Professional Players" feature on OP.GG http://www.op.gg/spectate/pro/

That's been gone a long time now.

So there's no way to spectate anymore? :< Is it ever coming back? It was so useful... and so entertaining...

Given how long it's been gone I doubt it's ever coming back. And the boards make a billion threads about Yasuo and Dynamic Queue but not so much as a peep on this long gone feature. So no attention is being drawn to it apparently.

Correction: The high-level games appearing on the main page have been gone for a long time. Spectating individual players (e.g. on your friends list) is still there, just not currently working in the new client.
