So I was wondering which draft format(s) will rotate out when Gatecrash comes online? I am assuming it is going to be DKA INN INN?

RTR *might* go to 4322 only but there shouldn't be any draft formats removed.
RTR sealeds could also be replaced but I don't think they will.
We are just going to have a lot of limited queues until the fall set releases and IID and AR both rotate out.

The number of limited queues will drop again when dragons maze is released as the block will all be drafted as one.
I hope they don't completely cut the rtr events till then.
I've bought the cards and made a deck Now how do I win at this?

Hmmm... Will sealed be gggggg or will we get rrrggg?
I know they were meant to be drafted separately..
Calavera on MTGO
I collect Zendikar Foil Basic lands. Trade me yours!
Things that I want to see changed on MTGO:
1: 64 man drafts added to rotation of Events.
2: Visual/Audible Notification of disconnect, deckbuild/afk time expiring and round starts.
3: Prize Payouts as close to draft sets as possible.
4: Rotate Classic draft queues monthly!
5: MOCS level events for Classic/Pauper
6: Power 9!
7: Award Promo Cards for Constructed PEs (esp for Legacy/Classic)
8: Program Split option back in!
9: Set Favorite version in deck editor (i.e. always use x swamp)
10: Better sorting of gold cards in deck editor.
11: Bring leagues Back!

Good point. Makes sense to have sealed be 3 of each.

First time they've done something like this. We know when Dragon's Maze hits, they will be played in limited together.
BUT, after a bunch of searching, I tracked down a description of Gatecrash Sealed for GP London and it looks like Gatecrash sealed will be just six Gatecrash. This was kinda hard to find; lots of place mention that draft is three GTR boosters, but sealed descriptions not so much.

Gatecrash limited -- both draft and sealed -- is going to be Gatecrash only. Your best source for these kind of questions are the MTG Tournament Rules:
Appendix D—Recommended Booster Mix for Limited Tournaments
For the Return to Ravnica block, the recommended booster mix for Limited tournaments is (effective October 5, 2012):
- Individual Sealed Deck – 6 Return to Ravnica
- Individual Booster Draft or Team Rochester Draft – 3 Return to Ravnica (per player)
- Three-Person Team Sealed – 12 Return to Ravnica (per team)
For the Return to Ravnica block, the recommended booster mix for Limited tournaments is (effective February 1, 2013):
- Individual Sealed Deck – 6 Gatecrash
- Individual Booster Draft or Team Rochester Draft – 3 Gatecrash (per player)
- Three-Person Team Sealed – 12 Gatecrash (per team)

While some formats might get reduced in frequency to make room for the new set, no formats will be leaving for good.
