The SEA Server has a lot of extraordinary players in its ranks but is often underrated by the average fan of StarCraft. I for one do tend to run over to TL to watch Jinro play rather than say Iaguz. As much as I respect the crap out of our Grandmasters I look elsewhere to be entertained or enlightened. It’s a weird feeling for me to realize that I actually do favour watching streams from players like Grubby, Sen and Catz when I actually have little to know knowledge of their play or their background.
It may be curiosity but I’m always sitting here in Australia following the latest trends in North American StarCraft. As to reasons why I do these things I don’t really know. I guess I’m wondering if the players on this server are the best I can watch. Are they below the others in terms of skill – maybe it’s commercialism on a small scale and I’m eating it up.
Here are a few questions because I’m very interested in hearing some opinions:
- How does SEA stack up to the rest of the world?
- As a top SEA player how do you rate yourself to other pros from different servers?
- Do you yourself favour watching streams from servers other than the SEA server? If so why?
EDIT: Just realized none of the players I mentioned were from North America - go figure.
