It's to experience different styles of play regardless of league, it's a good experience to play on different regions. Some ladders are harder than others and some people wanna get better faster.

There's no delusions of grandeur here. Not for me anyway.

i would play on KR/TW server if 3 things were possible:
1 - my interent wasn't buggy
2 - my comp wasnt so old
3- had a copy of either KR/TW SC2 :P

that and im terribly terrified of the players on ladders in KR/TW..the stories i hear scare me to hell XD

maybe one day....

You don't experience different "styles of play". It only takes all ins or solid macro to make it to a higher league regardless of what the opponent is doing. The only thing I've noticed so far from playing on KR is a better multi tasking capability (Some of the better players of SEA cannot attack and do several drops at once without letting them die if i have units in place to defend, whereas a lot of the korean players have the multitasking ability).

I went 5-0 in placements, 3 bronze and 2 golds and I didn't have to think once for the entire time.

I'm currently 13-3 in Plat, it's pretty ******* hard, actually, everyone just does giant all ins or super strong timing attacks. I don't think I'll be getting Masters on Korea unless I get a lot better.

@AZKziek I don't get all-in'd that much on SEA ladder, and I lose to strong timing attacks. What better place to practice against those strats than on TW/KR where they happen more often?

@frequency See you on the ladder brother

wow. everytime i stop playing new things seem to be happening. kr/tw merge?

i havent played on the kr server since november. i was GGnoRe on kr as well and i was in diamond. i still remember my first game on the kr server i played against a terran player who went for siege tanks into expo. i thought it would be an easy game considering it was my first game on the kr server but i got the shock of my life. i was forced to play a drawn out macro games (i ended up with 5 bases). i was even more surprised to find out my opponent was in the silver league. the rest of my placement games were rather easy though. (i suspect someone else must have been playing that silver player's account!)

i played my way from plat to diamond pretty quickly but i stopped playing soon after. World of Warcraft's new expansion was about to be released!

Their "timing attacks" are no stronger than that of a SEA player once you get to a high enough level (meaning if you don't get to a high enough level yourself, you're going to lose to the same thing on either server).
The only thing you will possibly improve on until a high level on KR is multitasking vs a Terran who likes to drop. Everything else is identical.

5 and 0 got straight into diamond but was suprised at how much higher the standard is relative to the NA server and such as my first placement was against a bronze player who did a proper build and did rather well.

any1 here have a problem when they went to buy the tw/kr account from, the store on this site? ive used my debit card through paypal alot to buy stuff and never had a problem but for some reasonn its telling me to use a dfiffrent debit/credit card ?

**nirvAnA** · Fri, 12th-Aug-2011, 5:30 AM

it has to be paypal because they are the site that processes the transaction not us! paypal does it and then tells sc2sea if the transaction is successful or not.

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

KR server ppl. all ins is a weird way... all the way up to master... then in the higher level all are pretty greedy and once in a while they all in... man..... always have to worry about all in from Korea players -_-

My first impression of Protoss over there:

I dunno how the hell they're so good at hiding probes!

StitcH · Mon, 15th-Aug-2011, 4:21 PM

I dunno about you; you can feel the difference how they play on KR/TW. Even at lower tier, you know it's kinda odd. Very weird timing attacks and crazy all ins and weird cheese. And they're only sliver. (I know I'm not a good player). But it's interesting to play in this server as you would never know what they're up to.

Next_rim · Mon, 15th-Aug-2011, 5:15 PM

I know for sure EU and NA servers are VERY different in types of games you get. It's everything, starting from timings, and up to the variety of tactics. Playing KR should feel like a completely different game compared to EU

iM yang · Mon, 15th-Aug-2011, 5:20 PM

8/10 games are Terran, 8/10 of those games are Marine/Tank/Banshee... I want macro practice!

Aean(: · Mon, 15th-Aug-2011, 5:52 PM

I generally play a gready style TvZ. Id get raped on korean server t-t.

**TAEdgE** · Mon, 15th-Aug-2011, 6:29 PM

Starting to become on fire on korea now O:

cuz this server is dead. login at like 6PM GMT+8 and u will end up searching for 5 minutes.

iM yang · Tue, 16th-Aug-2011, 4:59 PM

I remember having good queue times at all levels except when I got to top100 gm, maybe it's changed since then.

ViceGrip · Tue, 23rd-Aug-2011, 1:01 AM

I am a diamond on the NA server, is it worth buying a TW/KR account. I kind of want to buy one cause it would be cool to play against people on the KR server but will if really improve my sc2 game?
