I am in Bronze

Many times I found my opponents surrendered after 30 seconds(rarely found on SEA server).
I think they checked if I was at a higher league on SC2Ranks or Battle.net and found I am in the same league - so they quit.

After around 2 weeks on KR/TW, I played 70 ladder games - lose 45 games and won 25 games so 36% win rate. Yes, always less than 1 minute searching for ladder partner.

I don't really know the exact different play style between SEA and TW/KR as I stopped playing on SEA after I got the TW account and I did not do many of ladder games on SEA(around 20 games). At least, I feel that I am on the same server of those SC2 Hall of Fame.
On a huge map, I was once with the Terran who only produced SCVs for 12 minutes and already own 7 CCs by the time I first attacked and I lose that game LOL. That was my first weird thing on 1v1.

Whenever I lose or win I watched my replay right after each game - although I won, I always found many things to improve from it.

Regardless of what server you are on, Good Luck and Have Fun. SC2 is "The Game" ^__^

Korea/Tw no doubt has the highest level of competition in the world. Whether you enjoy it or will improve from it will depend on your learning approach

If you have a good thinking approach you will definitely improve alot because you keep getting exposed to better builds and better players and can constantly refine your play.

But before you even get an account make sure check your ping to see if the latency is acceptable for you.

Just got mine setup - now downloading the TW client. Looking forward to the cheese, in fact I think I can smell it already.

My first experience on the TW/KR server was a protoss walled in with cannons trying to mass voids and carriers on one base... I expanded 3 times then a-moved into his 4 voids and 1 carrier.

And he was gold league ._.

My first experience in KR/TW:

Placement matches went very easily 5-0 and I got put into platinum. I was on a winning streak of about 20 and was thinking that this level of play was to be expected from platinum. But then.... A protoss on TDA did a double sg build with a lotta phoenixes which i successfully countered however....I then had 38 +2 attack stalkers at the front of my base with sentry support and in response...I had 0 units, only spores and drones. I was utterly caught off guard by this timing, and this became a reccuring theme. I am now diamond rank #2 with about 300 games played in total. All I can say for the people who wanna play on this server: Learn every single timing in the book from each of the races, 90% of games are revolved around a 2 base timing attack before the 12 minute mark. Oh...and in ZvZ never go hatch first, 75% of games are 6 pools

Did my 5 placement games this morning. 5-0, put in Platinum.

Stallion · Tue, 6th-Sep-2011, 8:54 PM

alttotoro · Sat, 17th-Sep-2011, 10:11 AM

This has been a very smooth transition for me. I pay for 25 down/ 3 up where I live in Los Angeles and there is no lag whatsoever. If anyone wants to play on the server, add me! alttotoro.458

my first experience was playing a platinum who was like a master on NA. Also some weird bug where I could not build a collosus.. are these TW versions legit? I have no idea why that happened.

silliest thing ive heard.. you downloaded the official client from blizzard, we just give the license

**nirvAnA** · Sat, 17th-Sep-2011, 2:14 PM

Getting a sc2 key is like getting a car + license.

We give you the license (sc2sea) and you get the car from the manufacturer (or in this case, blizzard). Your license is valid and works perfectly (you can log in with your account perfectly and play as you have mentioned) and you're allowed to drive but you cant possible blame the license giver (aka us in this case) if your car is not working. And i'm 100% sure that you were either supply capped or did not make a robotics bay thats why you couldn't make the collosus. You're now basically accusing blizzard for providing you a defected copy of the game since you download the official client from their page and that is what runs the game, not the license.

Would appreciate if you do not say such rash /accusatory things in the future or if you wish to at least support it with evidence / replays.

I'm going to have a go at this Kr Guest Pass Sc2Sea is offering and if the latency isnt too bad then im going to purchase a Kr account. Can't wait! =D. It's just a different feeling playing with the top nation in sc2 in the world =)

naSz · Wed, 5th-Oct-2011, 2:36 PM

you can actually use the starter edition that they brought out a while back to play on the TW server. the way i accidentally did it was i went into the TW client and put in my b.net account info and since i dont have TW access on that account it brought up some writing i think i clicked yes (didn't know what i was doing because i cant read it) and then it brought up the box to enter a sc2 name and when i checked the account on B.net it said i have TW starter edition on the account. so that's probably a good way to check the latency as well.

c_kAelle · Thu, 20th-Oct-2011, 4:32 PM

gratz...

i know there's a quote "if you cant beat a korean youll never improve" just cant remember where i heard that first...

Sensator · Mon, 28th-Nov-2011, 10:13 PM

I'm Diamond on NA/SEA and high Platinum on KR. I've played around 180~ games on KR so far and it's a whole different experience, everyone is just so much better. I found myself losing a lot of games early on because I was relying on a lot of stuff that just doesn't work against attentive and generally good players.

Playing on the Korean server has actually done more for my SC2 skill than most of my games played on NA and SEA--it's an absolute must to people who want to get better fast.

As far as pings go it really depends on your ISP to be honest, I've got Bigpond cable and I actually get the same ping to SEA as I do to KR, which are both better than my ping to NA--however using my brother's Optus cable he gets a fairly bad ping to Korea but gets good pings to SEA and NA.

as for my first foray in Korea about a year ago, i remember being 17-0 then running into artosis. i won tho and he whined abit and called my unit composition imba (lol i still love him) but my streak ended at 21 and then i started getting matched up with fou / prime / ogs guys 24/7 and became 55ish % shortly after

. even beat losira a few times and he already had a cool playing style back then

Awww dude! awesome stuff.

Do you have a replay man?
I checked your sc2sea profile and youre apparently Masters? I personally hope you are not retarded enough to just 'not be able to make collosus' because you didnt robo or were capped...

In that case, replay us man. Or say 'woops' :P
