Didn't they take first in their division and made it to the semi-finals of the last GSTL? I think Dignitas' big guns like Sjow and Select could take a few games, but NSHoseo has too deep of a roster.
Of course, this is all under the assumption that the respective A-teams are sent out.

Default server is North America unless both teams agree to play on a different server. They are allowed to change servers during a match as many times as needed.

They did, but at the same time in IPL Qualifiers, first time around they lost 5-3 to dtG (Who is largely unknown, despite having some amazing players) and I believe they didn't sail comfortably through the second qualifiers.
While they have an insanely versatile and deep roster, some of their key players (Seal, San, Sage even) are very streaky, and their "B-Team" is largely untested (Fairy, RealMaker, Hoon, Sia, etc)
Also they have The Count. Why do they call him The Count? + Show Spoiler [VanVanth] +Because every game you can count as he plants down 4 gateways.

Well then, I think a wager is in order here: If Dignitas wins, I will buy you, VirgilSC2, a virtual drink. It has no monetary or practical value, but simply a gesture of my acknowledgement of you winning the bet. But if NSHoseo all kills (5-0) or near all-kills (5-1), you buy me a virtual drink, once again, no monetary or practical value. Deal? 
(Anybody else is free to take up this wager as well)
Since I can't go to a real Barcraft for this event, I guess a virtual Barcraft will do.

Closer than most people think 5-3 NSHS. In my opinion they have three exceptional players in Seal, Sage, and Jjakji but other than that the Dignitas guys can take games. Especially SeleCT, SjoW, BlinG, and Bischu. g0g0 Dignitas fighting!~

hmmm if only there were a single good na player he would have a HUGE advantage lol.

I would speculate it is worse.

Rumored to be better I think, depending on your provider in Korea. Servers are on US West Coast.

As I understand it, it depends on where in Europe because Russian players like BratOk would have roughly the same lag as KR server players.
Don't necessarily quote me on this because this is based on something I can't remember where I got it from.

It's also massively effected by your own personal connection. So Swedish internet is a lot better than UK internet, so even though we're closer to NA I wouldn't get a better connection than a Swede.

Power ranking sounds awesome. I assume it will account for all leagues not just IPL content?
