Let's look at the extreme of this layout then. Look at the HHKB2 and pretend it has dedicated function keys for the sake of argument. It's the keyboard OP's is based on.

i think you are honestly worrying a bit much when at least 95% of the server does not care how you decide to play, so long as 3rd party cheating software isn't involved.

logistically, it would not make sense to have admins going out and preventing casuals from playing if their ctrl key was easier to press, and that is one of the most important keys you'll ever use in this game. it doens't really matter what their rules state now, or any rules they'll make up out of nowhere, professionally this issue hasn't come into light, nor should it.

this is some samurai spirit shit. koreans trained and lived by stock standard, dt samsung keyboards, when mechanical or alternative layout keyboards were not used commonly let alone by other professionals.

just play how you would prefer, without the use of software that's needed to run with the game or ran with a new computer every time you decide to 'compete' with it. the only thing it will ever seem, is interesting and otherwise literally nobody will care. i am 100% that someone could play sc:bw with an xbox controller as has been done in sc2, and no admin will step up to your door frame and ask you to ever stop. and yes, i don't see swapping keys or keymappings around as an advantage. it is such an archaic thing to make an argument to disallow somebody from it.

Can we get a definitive answer on this? Maybe someone who can contact a korean caster/player/... ?

Did KeSpa enforce the English version of Brood war and a QWERTY keyboard? Or were others allowed?
What about in contemporary tournaments such as ASL?

i use SharpKeys, since my old keyboard didnt have this random looking page key to the right of spacebar and instead was the CTRL key, but this one has a Page looking key, so i changed the right WIN key to right CTRL. I don't consider myself a cheater. haha.
