Hi Guys! This is my first sc2sea post. About me: Im really bad at SC2( still in bronze )I never had the time to really learn SC2 but I am curious to know how different the servers are from each other. I got the KR/TW client out of curiosity. I also have SEA/NA and EU clients. Based on difficulty here is my take:

1) KR/TW (most difficult)
2) EU and SEA
3) NA

Hope to learn alot from everyone here

Lost a placement due to a dc (devastating!) but I'm playing plats in gold now and I love training on Kr/Tw
the different server means no ladder anxiety and I take my time watching replays and 'making adjustments' trying new stuff etc, it's awesome!

p.s pvp on Kr is insane!

Just played my placement match and got to plat!!!!! See how it goes for me later on good luck to me ^^v
Im gold on SEA btw >.<

[eraft]

Their Micro is so much better, their building placement are great as well!!. Currently stuck at plat :~

Played a fair bit since I got it and managed to get up to rank 1 diamond, not sure my skill level is quite there tbh as my MMR is still stabilising, I think right now I'm mid diamond but still not close to masters on KR, still got a lot of improving to do.

I've definitely noticed each league is a lot stronger than NA/SEA, the micro especially is a lot better even at gold-plat, but they still make the same bad decisions that other servers do. Playing a lot of diamonds now though and they are definitely at the skill level of high master even low GM on SEA. Hoping to hit masters in a month or two .

Thanks Nirvana for providing a very detailed and helpful guide .

Will try to categorize my experience with barely a week of play at TW/KR server
Players Level: Like all would agree, standard is just higher in every league i guess.
Attitude: Lesser BM? lol .. Or maybe they type in Korean and I just don't know. SEA for me the BM level is quite high.. haha
Players search: Definitely lot more players to play with. At SEA, "hey, It's you again"
Latency: Pretty good for me and stable compared to at SEA.

Procedures in getting an account on tw/KR: Unless you can't read english, this is as easy as it gets and with Nirvana around, it is as fast as it can get. Just ready your client.

Possible drawbacks: Slightly expensive than the SEA version. Language barrier. And you will still meet unfriendly people like this.
It's a replay

Last week i tanked my MMR from Diamond to Bronze in TW/KR and i have been playing only reactionary games on Korea doing certain builds and going robo nearly every game and just playing and reacting to what i've scouted... All i can say is i have honestly never had as much fun as i'm doing now.

I can feel ahead i know i'm playing better and even sometimes i can lose... i just got back into Diamond today but i am going to attempt to get to masters. Playing reactively... is so fun! I am so glad i'm no longer a slave to a build.

One of my placement matches in KR was proxy thor drop. It was horrifying ;;

[autopsipath]

everyone has been super nice to me on there, there is no sookfests if i beat them, NA in general server could take some notes, some funny builds tho

[Ice714]

Is it much harder?

Lower leagues probably not much difference right?

How is the latency?

[nirvAnA]

yea i wonder how much the korean server has changed since the open regions. anyone care to comment?

[Seffy]

As a BSG player I can confirm at lower leagues it isn't that different in terms of skill level, however they tend to be more aggressive than other servers. However it's probably harder to get promoted? I'm still in Bronze and I've won like.. 6-7 games straight or something and beating golds. ==

Latency wise, that depends on your net actually. Mine's doing really well in KR, I get about the same ping as I do on SEA.

[Snx.Mufasa]

I've found NA harder at times because I've gotten used to how well koreans understand the game. Its easier to read what they're doing since it usually is pretty standard/makes sense unlike NA where you'll hit the occasional player that doesn't really know how to do things efficiently.

Overall though even though i find kr more comfortable its still much harder due to how much better their mechanics/ understanding of the game are.
