Just played some games in KR, wow am I amazed. Silver/gold leaguers play like NA plat/diamonds, and the Koreans have wicked game sense and aggression, compared to passive NA.

Is there a real difference in skill between servers, or am I just imagining this?

This should probably be asked somewhere else like general questions, but NA=EU from my experience and obviously korea > na and eu in terms of difficulty by quiet a bit.
When I think of something else, something will go here

hmmm

NA is so much easier than EU. And both are incomparable to KR.

anyone whos been in the scene for a bit knows that kr is ahead of eu and na, even when it comes to skill on the ladder.

From what Ive heard its not a big difference between eu and kr before master league, but since I havent tried it out myself, dont qoute me on that one

Not just skill too... playing KR and NA feel different, it's hard to explain, maybe Koreans follow the proscene more closely so their play resembles the most up to date strategies.

difference is on KR, you can play anywhere but from NA, EU is bit laggy and KR is even laggier, and EU is in between everything

GM and master is obviously harder in Korea but shouldn't diamond and below be about the same?
I would rather eat than see my children starve.

KR is a lot better than NA and EU, i feel like they are more aggressive and their strat is a bit less random. I played on EU before and it feels the same compared to NA (although EU is a bit more mannered because NA is filled with mini-idras). SEA is just wood league because everyone good on SEA are all playing on a different server so it's not difficult to get top gm on SEA.

No, when everyone is better, those who would be Diamond in EU are not good enough to beat the KR Diamonds, so they are placed in a lower league.

Everything is the same until high Master where Korea > Europe > America. I was actually surprised how much easier the top of American ladder is than Europe :/.
