The best players to come from the NA server haven't really performed much at all these days, as opposed to players like Thorzain or Stephano who both made fairly considerable splashes in the scene Top players in the world don't speak for the ladder as a whole | ||

Back to the original topic: I still feel that the EU ladder is stronger even though the NA ladder has a some 'second rate Koreans' dominating it. | ||

Ladder points has nothing to do with skill, if anything it shows that there is a fairly wide range of players at the top with about the same skill level. Also when we have seen the chinese players in action they didn't show that they were the best at all. Their best showing was at WCG with XiGua but their other performances (most notably the Code A GSL Season 1 2012) showed that they were just as good as other foreigners, nothing more and nothing less. | ||

Do you want GM or do you want to become better? if you are good enough you will eventually hit GM, on NA you can be worse but still hit GM thats my point. its simply easier to reach GM MMR on NA because there are less good players | ||

I have accounts on both NA and EU and at my level there is no difference. I'm high diamond on both EU and NA, so I don't personally feel that there is any difference. If we are talking about the top of the ladder I think the old consensus of KR>EU>NA still holds true. At least when looking at tournaments, EU players seem a lot better than NA in general. A lot of Koreans have started to play on the NA ladder though, so that might have an effect. | ||

It's true that KR diamond is roughly NA masters (with exception to the top of NA masters), but KR gold is definitely not NA diamond. EU may or may not be a little stronger than NA at this point, but it's not a leagues difference | ||

EDIT: Minus about a 40-50 rank difference between KR and NA that I have noticed with my accounts, mid masters NA = mid-high diamond on KR. | ||
