i know masters/gms in sea that are only platnium on KR
Some of them just refuse to promote. I know quite a few of my friends(top 50 GM SEA) who got stucked at plat/diamond for like 2 weeks and only got promoted when they get like 75% win rate. Yeah it takes time to get promoted. Normally GM in SEA SHOULD be at least diamond in KR.
Well.. won the first 16 games without failure, now vsing high diamond but I must say KR/TW server produces the best players from all leagues.
Bronze players know builds and copy builds.
Silver players can build well till a certain point.
Gold players know how to expand but do builds like 3-gate robo --> expand / 1-1-1 -> expo instead of FE but they're surprisingly not bad compared to what I'll rate for NA / SEA gold.
Platinum players are like gold players but better.
Low diamond players are still like plat players but better.
Then high diamond players are like SEA's low-mid masters, really, they are that good. They do good builds but are surprisingly unorthodox. They like to produce more units than drone up? shrugs... or toss who does a 4-gate but decides not to all-in.
Well.. I've only met till there and have won so far, will update when I play again, but generally their leagues are harder than in SEA/NA.
* Is it just me or the players in KR/TW dislike saying gg / gl hf all that before/after games?
So now I'm starting to meet their low-mid masters players and I must say they're really good, they're as good as SEA high masters / GM :

You need to do a pingtest to that server. Your download and upload speed has nothing to do with your latency. sc2 takes a miniscule amount of bandwidth.
It's just how long the information takes to get from A to B. This depends on how your ISP routes to reach certain areas around the world. Optus has a notoriously bad connection to anywhere in Asia as it has to route through the US to reach there so if you're in Australia that may be your problem.

Most don't gg (at the end of the game) unless you gg (glhf too complicated) at the start of the game.
Oh but terran used to say 'gg poor zerg sad' whenever I got a ZvT on xel naga haha
I would think it would need help your delay. If you wanna be 100% sure u can download the TW starter edition and test the lag.
Why didnt I think of this o.O going to get started on that straight away, would love to get some KR action!!! Masters here, oh dear god please let me get at least platinum >.<
My first experience with the KR server was vs some platinum Terran players. They didn't do amazing builds, but my god, their micro was insane. I've never seen better stutter micro.

You will get diamond easy, just don't play greedy until you are comfortable - you will be punished otherwise
Sounds good starter edition has started downloading now so sometime soon I will be able to test the latency in game and then if its decent will get a full version should be fun :P
And thanks for the advice, gotta have the edge in at least one thing :P
Just played my 5 placement matches, they play so differently! I won 5/5 of my matches but was definitely amazed at their multi tasking of terrans with drop play etc, not the smartest decision making from what ive seen so far tho!
But anyway the real point of this was that I feel lonely having no one on my friends list to hit me up kez.446
