I may look up winrates to help my point, but online KR to NA series are way more prone to upsets. Everyone goes full "America holds!' and then the ro16 rolls around and suddenly there's only Koreans left and everyone goes "Wait i thought foreigners had improved." | ||

Online series are more prone to upsets regardless of what server they're playing on. NA vs NA, EU vs KR, KR vs NA. KR vs KR. It's just how the game works, LAN Tournament > Online Tournament > Ladder > Practice Game. Beating someone at a LAN is how you prove you're better than someone :D | ||

Beating someone at a LAN is how you prove you're better than someone :D Agreed, which is why i think the format of 1 single online bo5 to basically determine if you have any shot at decent earnings for the year, let alone a chance at Blizzcon is pretty harsh. But again, people who supported a region lock are probably happy about this and I'm not sure if my opinion is the majority or not haha | ||
