KR silver = Diamond US / Plat EU

Not true at all, diamond and under is just as terrible in KR as it is anywhere else.


platinum KR is masters NA

I'm master on NA and I think diamond in KR is extremely easy.


unfair to judge a server when you've only just started recently

What about people judging the server while then don't even play on it ?


if you're referring to me, i've been playing on KR server since ladder season 1

Here's a diamond Terran I just played.

He is worse than master league players on NA for sure.


Read my post above. You cant judge a server when you only recently started


To be fair you haven't provided any evidence at all that the Korean server below Masters is any better than NA, so I don't know how you can criticize him. At least he's trying to show some evidence.

And then the other guy up there is Diamond in both... so... ??


What evidence do you think is best to provide in this case? People so far have suggested I get a platinum korean player to play on NA/EU ladder, which I cannot honestly provide. I'm not going to be selectively uploading biased replays either.

I don't really think one replay is conclusive evidence for anything.

I actually want to know now.. Like, I think most agree: KR >>> EU > NA , but I wonder indeed what a Platinum KR can do on other servers.. and vice versa..

Here's a platinum zerg on KR:[image loading]
He has about half the supply, total bases, and drones I would expect from a NA master.


ONE replay? Seriously, ONE replay?


A few replays don't really prove much because plenty of people can cheese their way into higher leagues. We need someone to play both servers for six months at the same rate and see what division they end up in.

If you watch the replay, even people who 6 pool their way to masters on NA have better macro than the platinum zerg I posted -_-
I play Protoss and I'm consistently getting 50-100% more supply than my diamond opponents in the games where I don't feel like 4 gating. For reference, in equal skill games Zerg should max when Toss is at 150 and Terran should max when Toss is at 180.


So would you say that KR is completely equal in skill level to NA based on your experience?


Someone didn't read it properly. No one is denying top pros in Korea are miles ahead of foreigners. But for the people who play it recreationally (eg. below Masters) there's no difference. And that logically also makes sense if you believe that Korean pros are better because of the practice time they put into the game - casual players have no such dedication in general so why should they be miles ahead of their NA counterparts?

Did you just completely ignore the thread or discussion then quote him while making a baseless accusation? He is saying below masters the difference isn't that big.


It was a question not a baseless accusation. Maybe I didn't phrase it well then let me try again-

Based on your experience, would a player who is in platinum in NA likely to end up in platinum in Korea assuming they play a similar number of games?

I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely curious about this because I did find the KR server harder when I played and I'm surprised than iamke55 didn't find this to be so.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't realize it was an actual question. Why don't you try? Or if not, if I could get an account (I'm mid-high masters NA) I would play KR server and see where I am after 50 games (shouldn't take me too much time, I've played about 225 ladder this season not including practice and whatnot).

I hope a TSL player qualify. They really had it tough.


yea me too
their coach is a really nice guy (if anyone watched the hyung joong show, he is the tall skinny one)
and i love killer and clide

What kind of show is that? Im curious..

Hyungjoon becomes a progamer.
It's some show about some kpop artist who goofs around and wants to become a progamer by winning Courage (a tournament which will give u a progaming license if u manage to win the tournament, to put it easily in perspective it's like if some amateur below diamond wants to qualify for code A).

TSL's coach is also known as mama bear.
The show had MKP in it as well briefly. MC as well I think since I know he was on MBC but not sure if he quite before or after the show.


So its like the Oldboy show with Nal_rA but "only" with Courage qualifier and not Starleague? Is it worth watching? I really loved the Oldboy show but because Nal_rA was such a funny guy in there.

Rain was considered a cheeser by pretty much everyone in the GSL, even Nestea, and he got 5th/6th place at MLG while only losing to Koreans.

How can my replay be biased when you are talking about platinum players and I uploaded a game with a diamond player? If anything that's biased in your favor.
