Poll: Is EU and NA equal in skill? NO (47) YES (20) 67 total votes Your vote: Is EU and NA equal in skill? Only if you say NO you should answer in the Poll at the beginning ^^ silly OP Trying to splitt the community? | ||

It might be worth locking this thread, as there is nothing relevant today that can be discussed based of OPs post/poll. I'm masters on both and can tell you that the skill is extremely similar, but meta-game and play styles by race do vary quite a bit. From my experience Protoss on EU cheese and all in much more than on NA, and vice-versa for Zerg. The Terran strategies are more diverse on EU, lots of people copy GSL stuff. Overall though, very similar skill levels. | ||

The way I see it is as follows: There are more good players on EU who are professionals compared to NA. Or at least, when I watch a stream it seems to me that the variability in matchmaking is lower meaning that the games on ladder are often more close and meaningful and strategies more varied on the EU ladder. However, for all the NORMAL people who play this game for fun and aren't semi-pro or pro, the difference means nothing to us. This is why I hate these stupid threads. People come in here and say Im on EU, EU is harder, Im masters EU im better than masters NA. No. I am sorry but no. The people on top of ladder in EU and NA can trade games for the most part. Its not the same as top of KR vs top of NA or EU. But at the same time at mid masters, at diamond, at plat at almost any level the difference between NA and EU is minimal. Sure, there might be more high end players on EU who play seriously and professionally but that doesn't mean the EU ladder is magically 100x better than NA. Im pretty sure plat on KR isn't so so so much better than everyone on NA or EU either. The myth that KR plats are 1000x better is probably helped by not high level players getting a KR account and having some 500ms ping to deal with which makes it harder to perform well. While being masters in NA doesn't mean you are masters in KR, it doesn't mean you are plat either. I think people need to stop worrying about the ladder and their ranking and start focusing on just enjoying the game. | ||

I've played ~100 games on US, laddered two accounts from placements to masters and I can say that EU is quite a lot stronger from until the early leagues. Another solid conclusion is that there's A TON more cheese on NA. Other than these things, ladder is ladder, you will get practice anyways unless your the best in your region. | ||

This has very little relevance. On the KR server you will encounter lots of cheese as well. | ||

Are you masters/facing masters in EU? If so, isn't just working as intended... You already have the skill level of a master's player, ergo you should end up on masters if both regions are similar in skill. If you started at placement, means you had to be playing mostly diamonds and then masters, which should be easy for you since you are a higher level player than diamond. | ||

Though from the interviews I've read most pros say KR is hardest followed by EU and US.
