OK, so I am not that good of a player. I am upper Gold on the NA serve and I decided to take a trip to the Korean server. I hadn't played there in about 3 months back when I was Bronze. So I decide to play it. Last time it was about as hard as it was to be expected. Neither of us knew what the literal fuck we were doing, but not this time. Not only did I get someone of my skill level it was a half hour math and I was chucked into bronze. Now this is for players who play regularly on that server. Should the low league skill gap be really that big or was that a fluke match. IDK cause it didn't seem like it at first, but now after that game not so much. So yeah, would like to hear back from you guys cause that was a bit frightening.

I believe Korean server is approximately two leagues above NA/EU server (though because of the sizes of Bronze and Gold leagues, high Gold NA would probably correspond to Silver KR).

Though remember, the system places you into a lower division than your MMR would suggest because there are no midseason demotions, so it places you at the bottom of your MMR range. Hence why you were "chucked into Bronze" though you could probably make Silver if you stayed on the KR server.

Because it is dead. People are hoping that LOTV will revive it but i highly doubt this will happen.

No? Literally people overhype Koreans and KR server as some sort of elite dojo for the super good it really doesn't change in skill level until masters or even high masters.

I'm gold on AM, EU, and KR (probably plat on AM with more games though). I play much less seriously on the KR server than I do on AM and EU. Take from that what you want.

Although, I do a lot of wacky cheese on the korean server and not really on the other two, so I might just be winning because of nobody expecting what I'm doing.

60k people watched HSC earlier today. Nothing compared to LoL, but not exactly dead. The games were some of the better games of sc2 I've watched in quite a while too.

It's more you obviously haven't played there or you would know. Ignorance is hilarious. (I used to think the same thing to until I played there, the skill difference between a gold Korean player is far better then a EU/NA gold player).
When I think of something else, something will go here

Funny how it's the NA players who have said this not the EU players.
