Actually, Central all games between Cure and Serral is wrong.
For Serral vs Cure, they switch Server between Central and West each game (not sure if it's C W C W C or W C W C W)
To clarify the entire server question:
The rules say the Default Server for KR vs EU West is NA West.
However, I am pretty sure most Koreans agreed to alternate between West and Central when a Korean was up against a Western European which is the fairest. On the other side, Trap applied the rule to force me and Reynor to play all games on NA West for the playoffs which is ~135-140ms for Trap and ~175ms for me/Reynor.

What is this about lmao

With all this server/lag talk I now even more root for Cure so we get Kr vs Kr finals and hopefully epic games!

It varies somewhat obvious based on the individual, but that's generally the ground truth.

It has to be done ingame, I have done it 100 times+ during Nation Wars

Besides that routing can vary so much depending on a lot of factors. So even if you live in the same country/region your ping can vary quite a bit.

Thanks for first hand info. This doesn't sound like too big of a difference or advantage to any player lag wise, right?

I think the argument is that it's much more forgiving for Zerg players in general to play with a delay, compared to T and P. Obviously Heromarine got shafted a bit.

Thanks for clearing it up!
What are the pings for both sides for NA Central?

It's actually 2015 again. The only relevant tournament takes place in Seoul  .

one of the GSL booths is closer to the studio router than the other; right-side player has a 0.000001% win-rate advantage

Trap looked pretty strong but Reynor looked pretty weak from his usual self.

Or divide global tournaments up into regions for the time being, there's no real way to make cross world matches fair

Almost like this stuff might actually be complicated and not just a matter of tournament officials randomly asking their diabetic poodle to pick a server for the next match

Depends, Korean players usually have 180ms and Europe has at best 125 ms

That's what you do if you don't want to be relying on cross-tables. But if you are using crosstables then it's just too bad if someone's internet is worse than what their region usually gets.

Thanks for clarifying.
I always think it's stupid to leave that choice to the players because if you're the Korean in that situation, you either have to decide to play on worse conditions out of "fair play" or choose what's best for you and look like an asshole.
Servers should just be alternating for everyone.

Always alternating favours Western Europeans over Koreans in most cases.
