Or at least that's how I read it. I don't think they want to pull their guys of practice that much, add to that the fact that they would most likely have to play at ridiculous hours of the day (Unless it's from replays, of course) I thought the whole point was they had time to get used to the lag if they played a few games on NA but none of them did and it was there responsibility. | ||

The TL guys asked for rotating servers which EG felt was an unfair inconvenience for the other teams. Pretty sad chapter really. Oh well. Not sure if lag got worse but I doubt that that is what caused to the issue. | ||

People need to separate NA server and NA players. For KR vs. EU players, playing on the NA server is the least bad situation and most of the problem can be overcome with experience (for both EU and KR players.) For KR vs. NA players, there is a fairly large advantage to whoever plays on their home server, so they prefer server switching as in TSL3. I may be mistaken, but I believe Koreans got the higher seed in TSL3 so any KR-NA player matchup would be in their favor. For KR-EU players, it would be in EU players' favor but in the closest way possible. It's kind of silly that people have tried to criticize Jinro for that post when he rarely if ever makes excuses for his play. If you remember back to the GCPL match with Dignitas when him and SeleCT were in the Ace match, he took complete blame for that loss even though it was clear his Viking control was a second or two behind. | ||
