7 koreans in WCS EU ro32

16 koreans in WCS NA ro32

since koreans "generally" are better than foreigners

does that means WCS NA is more competitive than WCS EU?





Of course... no one is going to argue WCS EU is higher level than WCS NA


so WCS NA premier league is harder than WCS EU premier league

but WCS NA grandmaster is easier than WCS EU grandmaster? (some EU players said WCS EU GM is harder than WCS NA)


American ladder weaker ladder, but no self respecting Korean would play on there unless they had to. You don't need to be ranked Master/GM on the NA ladder to compete in the NA region.
Because Blizzard


being in GM is a joke for most koreans pro on NA/Eu, enforcing it would do nothing. Let's not talk about master.

I still think it'd make a good prerequisite. Not so much as an entry barrier, any korean pro gamer should make GM relatively easy. However, what it does lead to is an increase of Korean opponents for up-and-coming NA pro gamers (by virtue of it taking longer to reach GM). More Koreans opponents on the NA server = the stronger the server becomes.

it'll kick out all of the bottom tier gm player. And you can get GM easily in less than 100games, ppl aren't gonna need to practice on NA to be on it, just a lot of GM players are gonna be inactive.
Zest fanboy.

About GM, does GM need to be 200 players? If every single GM was inactive and got kicked out, would GM be 0 or would the next 200 Master's players become GM in their place?

you don't lose the game for doing it, but it's straight up worse in any aspect imo. Maybe a tiny bit better against an early reaper, because of the faster queen.

You people don't get it.
That's the point, it's more fun if you're polite or barely rude. It's like a troll who teases but you can't take seriously. It's like a fight against lame and unoriginal flaming types. ;(
It's not meant to be real BM.

I dunno but i can guarantee that top masters players (the real top, not the yolo guys i'm top 25 in my scrubby division) have better mmr than the bottom of gm so it'd fill at least a bit even if there is a mmr barrier.
