I have one point that I'm appauled hasn't come up in the last 3 pages. Isn't this an unfair comparison of uneven numbers? According to sc2ranks.com (no idea of the validity or activeness of these people), EU server has 1,060,332 ranked accounts while NA server has 1,386,055 ranked accounts. Having literally 33% more would definitely water down the player pool, would it not?


I don't get that point. Was that sarcasm getting over my head? :D

Because if we were to reason like that then SEA would be the toughest server by far.

edit: I have no opinion on NA vs EU; I love both communities, just puzzled by that argument in particular.


No, he means that if we look at Top 200 vs Top 200, it isn't "parallel" because NA has more players. Since NA has about 33% more players, it would be more fair to compare the Top 266 NA to the Top 200 EU

hope that makes sense


Although it doesn't really make sense because looking at the Top 200 NA instead of the Top 266 NA would give NA an advantage when comparing to EU; since NA has more players, it means they have more good players at the top, so comparing Top 200 NA to Top 200 EU isn't fair, but Top 266 NA to Top 200 EU would be

in other words, EU is even "harder" (has a better Top 200) than NA than what people think xD

Given that skill is equally distributed between both groups, the top 200 of a 1.3 million group should be significantly better than the top 200 of a 1 million group. Because you are comparing the top 0.015% with the top 0.02%.

To make it clear: In a 200 player group, everyone is top 200 and therefore the top 200 is the weakest compared to a 1000 player group, where the best 20% of the population is in the top 200.



Yes, I was trying to get at that (if you are quoting me to show i'm wrong, rather than to add on to what I say). You explained it better though ^^

I have an account on NA, KR, EU and i'd say the order is KR, EU, then NA in that particular order. However there are some days where EU seems to be harder than KR, but then again ELO and MMR changes all the time~

Can we stop this pointless discussion and all agree on the fact that I have the biggest dick on the planet?

Oh wait, it's not relevant. Nevermind.

EU is probably harder just going on what I've seen.

Well, I ladder mostly on EU, so surely that makes it harder than NA?

I'm studying in the US this year. Previously I lived in Europe so I am fresh on switching between the two servers. I have to say that at low masters/high diamond level there is a massive difference in playstyle. I play p. Half the pvp's are cannon rushes in NA something which I hadn't seen in EU since season 1. 4gates abound also much more than in EU. Of course I am talking about a sample of 150 games so about 60 pvps. Zerg and Terran are mostly the same although I have seen too many 1base roach ling allin's or stealing my expansion with a hatchery (both of which I consider autowins for me :D ). Since I hear that the KR server is the cheesiest of all, my conclusion would be that EU favors the macro game.
