The idea is good, but do we have the numbers in SEA to support it? I suspect not.
The servers numbers at this point in time is getting lower and lower to a point that the game struggles to find opponents of similar MMR to you. This being the case the "Global Play" option will spread the remaining numbers (from SEA anyway) into other servers....
So basically I see the smaller servers becoming obsolete as everyone jumps ship onto the larger more competitive servers (KR / NA). Is this a bad thing? Well all depends on your ping I guess.
I think there will be a certain number of dedicated players that remain in the smaller servers, but when things get really bad and you can either no longer find a game or are getting matched with players that you shouldnt be everyone will just jump ship.
