Hey guys, just got off 2 placement matches on the KR server, and it awesome, other than the fact that I wasn't able to read stuff as i can't read Taiwanese Mandarin.

Well the first match was with this Taiwanese guy and to be frank he wasn't very good, was an easy game.

However the next was with a Korean and maybe due to the lack of scouting, i was not handling it very well, but eventually came out on top, due to his blunder though, he went stalkers followed by collossus with zeals in response to my hydra ling, but he did not push enough until I was able to throw down a spire and get some mutas. Prolly got to work on handling my nerves while playing, could feel my heart beating so fast when my army melted under 3 collossi as i was trying to hold off till my spire was up.

Well, lag-wise, it was pretty smooth, my ping is about 220. I know it's not the best but its playable

For those who had tried playing on the KR server, I guess it's in everyones' interest that we would share our first experiences on this thread

My first ever game on KR/TW, the guy said something that I didn't understand and left the game within 20 seconds :P

Won the next 4 placements though! (only cause there weren't any ZvZ's). Achievements flying everywhere all over again, was good fun. The zerg queen's voice sounds cool on this client imo

wah wat? so even the voiceovers for zerg change? lol! Wonder what zerg with a korean accent would sound like

Good stuff mate! Thanks for sharing! Hope that it opens more challenges for you (other than the language diff) and makes you a better gamer! But then come back to SEA and show us how its done :P

[Primex]

:P Nice nice, I'm hoping to try Out KR/TW soon too.

[MeLo]

Went 4-1 in placements (got 6pooled in the one i lost)

Placed into gold.

Won 10 or so games and got placed into Platinum.

Eventually got into Diamond.

Lost 4-5 in a row, got dropped back into Platinum.

Back in Diamond now.

[EveJeonSa]

5-0 Placements! Atm 11 wins 2 losses [including off race loss ]

5-0 in placements as well, and also in Platinum

I'll put up my character code as soon as I check it at home, don't have any friends on TW/KR yet. No one speaks English or even gg's when you win.

Foreveralone.



EDIT: My character code is the same as NA and SEA for me. Maynarde.489 add me

lol at some korean dude thinking you want to melt his butter on his cat and ai his dog or whatever you said lol

[Meatex]

one of my first placement matches way back when on the KR server
my opponent starts swearing and talking about his mouse being broken
I though it was a sneaky trick until I did what he said and sent a scouting worker and saw his 6 workers still sitting there not mining
He joked around then left

[shmiman]

We should make a SEA community on the KR server, like a chat channel of some sort. It's abit lonely there haha, as if in foreign land xD

[Next_rim]

yall should just chill in sc2sea channel or sth

[nirvAnA]

yea guys start hanging out in the sc2sea channel!

[AvMyuu]

hi guys, ummm if i have a korean account can i connect to the taiwan server because the latency is unplayable or maybe i havent learnt to cope with lag ;p if anyone could answer it would be really helpful

[shmiman]

Whoots! Just finished my placements. Yeah you guys should hang out on the sc2sea channel, just met another Singaporean on that channel!

[harrad]

Its probably just me being horrible but imo people are generally WAY better than what I'm used to. I've played mainly on EU though, so I dont really know the skill level of SEA.

The Korean and Taiwan server has been linked so essentially when you log in to korea sc2, you're on Korean/Taiwanese server.

[Eldrid]

the nubz on korea are just as nub as anywhere else.

Embarrassingly i actually went 4-1 in placements coz i was like herpa derp im just gonna make drones until 80 then attack coz theyre so bad (1st match the guy didnt attack for 15minutes, 2nd game i lost :P)

Once you get to the good players, they are very aggressive. i am diamond currently. I will hang in sc2sea channel also! Hopefully we can have some ppl to talk to while laddering - will be way better

[AZKziek]

How come everyone is buying accounts when they're not even the top of SEA... they're still going to be vsing people of their relative skill level (whether it be Bronze or even Masters..).
