You and I both know traditionally "on West" means "on West gateway" which is meaningless nowadays, if you meant "on the West coast/Latin America that routes to West coast and hypothetically catches Koreans more so than Europeans" then yea maybe. At the end of the day, Sabbath, if he is living in Argentina, will most likely match fewer Koreans than someone living in California and (probably, not 100% sure on the infrastructure optimization) around the same if not less than people living on the East coast. He is far more likely to hit other people close to him geographically (Latin America) than he is to hit West Coast, East Coast, or Koreans. | ||

TBH - I have been away for years, started Remastered last week and the day after I joined they made ladder global. So I am pretty ignorant. I thought the old, I play on west because I'm in the west, was still relevent. My bad. | ||

So, what you're saying is close to the truth, no doubt. | ||

If not, my best shot is to keep rejoining and hope for a high placement score. | ||

Love the ladder stage, but I agree that there should be a minimum requirement for games played to be a valid contestant. | ||

IF you want to qualify for Proleague or Gosuleague, you should have minimum 20 games played in your BSL-Account. We believe it will support healthy competition over abusing placement matches. Thanks a lot. | ||

Thanks a lot. Not only do I respect your strength as a broodwar player. I respect the quickness with which you addressed a gameable flaw. I hope to qualify for a league where that matter. Thanks for lending your weight on the topic Eri - I am bouncing between 1850-1880 with a peak ability of 1920-1930 and got really disheartended when I saw how many people can go 5-0 and end up 2200. | ||
