If I'm not mistaken, the SPL finals are also tonight, (19 hours until it's aired)

A lot of people in Korea are probably really hype about that, I can't really tell if it will be a good or bad thing about SC2 being pushed into Korea.

On one hand, they can laugh at it, kind of like how a lot of people do already, or they can alternatively remember how they saw Boxer or Yellow playing BW on stage like that, and feel like Sc2 is growing rapidly.

Just a thought, but as a fan of both BW and Sc2, I can't wait to see more of each!

I think people exaggerate, but there IS merit to it. I didnt believe it either until I played KR server myself.. I feel confident against any US or EU GM (which I match often), but KR low-masters are just as hard, if not harder.

And I've actually (hate to admit it) lost some games vs Platinum players on KR.. They are actually decent enough that you can't fuck around; like the ones I lost were when I tried doing things like droning too much expecting the opponent not to realize it and counter, or trying to do some funky cannon rush or so.. They dont fall for that shit there, even at lower levels, where I can mess around on the US server even at low masters level and still come away with a win.

So yes, KR server is significantly harder.. but if you are high-masters or GM on US, you should at least get low masters in KR (assuming you got there with real skill, not just one cheese build) .. but the difference is even Gold players on KR are "GOOD".. You can't mess around vs them and expect an easy win (unless you are BoxeR, obviously)
