Yep. We all want to cuddle and love each other.

well sorry i didn't really have time to read every post. But couldn't it be possible, due to public beta in PC bangs, that someone who's not so good got placed bronze and then someone of a higher skilllevel played on that account?

I find the lack of reading comprehension in this thread disturbing...

Huh wuts every1's obsession with Asian server? They aren't at our level yet for some reason. I have actually gotten 150 pts higher or so in the platinum Asian server playing the same amount of games I have in the USA server lol.

i bet this is a lot of the reason

it seems everyone's trying to discredit darkwin. i thought his pt was great. I'm glad he made a threat.
it'd also mean asia's gold or low platinum players could probably take us's top platinum players. :-)

Is it so hard to believe? You're not playing a machine after all even if you have no real contact with the other person so it's nice to acknowledge that fact. After playing pretty much any other game/sport you would walk over and shake your opponents hand at the end of a match, so why does it suddenly become so hard to show that basic level of respect and type in gg? Is it not 'real' because it's online?

I think adjusting to a differently developed metagame could be a part of it aswell, but I dare say that gaming is even more... uh, hardcore? In asia. Taken a lot more seriously I should say, so no surprise.

those koreans are born with 200apm u know

hawt damn, i need an asian key!
lol jk i would probably get raped. It would be interesting to see how we silly americans compare though.

So my friend, a 1650 rating platinum toss on US server, has flown to korea and played on the ASIA server. He went 1-4 in placement matches and is getting his ass raped in bronze, very similar story to OP. I am joining him on May 19th to go back home, and am trembling in anticipation. I am a 1200~1700 (1600~1700 before reset, sitting at 1210 now with 19-13 rec) platinum zerg player on US, and have a feeling that I will get manhandled in korea. Only time will tell, and I will be sure to report on TL how it feels.
SO yea, i did pretty well in placement, went 3-2 and got placed in plat, but then i went on a huge losing streak and got demoted to gold at 6-29. yea, asia is much harder lol dont feel like playing the beta again

LET IT BE KNOWN!
The great debate: Which server has a stronger bronze division: ASIA
what a relief!
This is why iNcontroL is a quality poster lol. Its damn true guys. I jumped on a stream the other day wheere TT1 was gold and everyone cried oh no asia is hard TT1 is gold and he's top of his plat in US. While he was alt tabbing and checking the forums during load times so he can see when US server is up lol.
|
from what i've seen i think theres an obvious skill difference. how much this applies to the top level players i'm not sure, but i'm sure you'll consistently find a lot more good players in asia. i saw ttone play a few days ago on his stream. he was in gold league and he lost about 3/4 the of 4 matches i saw him play O.o
whether he was trying out builds or doing some other practice i don't think that's something that's gonna happen often on the US server
|
yeah i got into platinum on the US server and i didnt have a clue about counters / what to do. Literally i won all of my first 5 games. Plat isnt hard to get in US server.
|
This is very relative.
But i really belive that in Asia they have more knowledge of SC2.
|
The simple fact is that a lot of the core mechanics of SC1: macro, micro, worker production, expanding, timings, harassment, etc... translate very well in SC2. SC1 is still played regularly in Korea and has been for the past 10+ years. Outside of Korea you had a relatively small population of pro-gamers and people playing on private ladders.
I played SC1 from release to maybe a year past patch 1.08. That's a lot of years of not playing starcraft and I think a vast majority of US players fall into that catagory, hell most probably never even played SC1.
Conclusion:
I'd be shocked if the Asia server didn't have a higher average skill level considering the popularity of SC1 there. The Korean culture is saturated with SC1 and even if you don't play you know about the game. The average US beta player was 5-8 years old when SC1 came out and probably never played a single game. The average skill level of the lower ranks will even out as time goes on.
