(After game I found out he was High )

I tried and failed a blink stalker build while he hatched first into roach/ling
I switched to HT/w storm and he went Broodlord
He had four bases and I had just lost my third when I moved out



During this major engagement, which I lost
He had lings in my base which I tried to deal with with some Zealots
And failed, he whiped out my economy and army!


His remaining army


My economy

So I say "gg wp"
And he leaves the game





So I get a win

Our remaining armies/units at the end of the game was...


After the game in chat he said

Re: NA placement fail
 

Not really a fail by blizz matchmaking.

First off, the lower leagues are easier on NA than on SEA. Due to higher player count on NA, there are more exceptional players and also more bad players, so its a common occurrence that SEA players place higher on NA (Until around masters level).

Secondly, you might have not played enough games on either server to be put into a league that is correct based upon your current skill level. Although, if you have, refer to point one ;P

But also, you beat someone who basically beat you, so of course that contributes a bit to it.

My post is meant to be about my oppendant's fail not blizzard's match making system

He totally wiped me out, I had 6 probes and two zealots or something
To his 5 broods, 30 roaches and four bases

When I said 'gg wp' he obviously thought that I had a massive army or something
I surprised he didn't even try to move out with his army, although he didn't need to as he had lings in my base who destroyed all my probes while I was waitin for another warp in

lol Satu hoppin in to explain the ladder system!

Haha nice story Tidal! Those are always the funniest moments when you put in 100% effort, lose an epic game and then get the win anyway!

The pictures aren't working for me though what imagehosting site are you using? I find imgur screws up alot so I use photobucket!

Re: NA placement fail
 

I feel the NA and SEA ladders start to even up in skill level around High Plat/Diamond. I actually ladder on NA mostly and I find the Plats/Diamonds on NA are much better then the ones on SEA.

It wasn't long ago where I won against a High Plat on SEA building nothing but naked raxes and marines, literally A moving at 10 minutes.

But for BSG, I would say that players on SEA are generally better then those on NA.

Do all the images not work or is it just me?

Re: NA placement fail

Re: NA placement fail
 

Images work fine for me.

Maybe you guys should all uninstall & reinstall your browsers.

Maybe it's Idra on a smurf :P

Re: NA placement fail
 

Should be fine now

Re: NA placement fail
 

I've a feeling he's portrait farming or something, it makes no sense to leave a game in that situation. Ive done it before too, when I don't want to win but just want to play for fun, I leave immediately when my opponent GGs. Silly, I know.

Re: NA placement fail
