Of course it's not the same, it's like that in any sport, mentality, culture, it's all going to affect the level of play. Now, I won't be bold enough to say in which direction it goes, but if it was the same that would be an uncanny coincidence. It's like this in every sport, the level of football in Europe or South America is waaaaay higher than in North America or Africa for instance, while conversely the level of ice skating, ice hockey or handovoid is considered a lot higher in North America. And why does it matter? Well, people often say 'I'm a 3200 masters league' to qualify a post with, if you really think that matters, you might as well put the server with there. And well, this might be nationalism, but when I see people like HD stream their ladder I'm like 'This isn't EU masters league level at all.', but oh well. | ||

Well, I am a bronze league player (currently, I will be out of Bronze when I actually have some decent time to play) and a decent number of NA replays I have seen from Bronze make even my eyes pop out with rage and disbelief, I wish I was playing against some of those people! My own experience on the EU Bronze however, has been that they are significantly better than the NA bronze games I have watched. This doesn't mean a whole lot coming from one single person who has played <100 games and watched maybe 30 NA replays. But with some more peoples opinions and discussion something like this can be useful to know. | ||

Like for almost 4-5 straight TvPs I played as I was ranking up through placement -> masters, the protoss would 3gate voidray every single time and on NA no one does this build much anymore. Or they would think they're white-ra and build warp prisms, and on NA there's like only 2 players that ever build warp prisms, which is sort of hilarious when you think about it. The Terrans i've come across so far all play marine/tank/medivac tvt, only full mech T i've played was goody on eu/na server. Though, i'm sure that's going to be more common very soon. The Zergs so far...can't defend bunker rushes too good lol. My account is still low ranked, so obviously the better zergs can defend it perfectly fine tho i'd think. I do think NA protosses try and force a more economic game on you, whereas EU protosses try and do some sneaky attack or all-inish push to damage you more. imo there's no "skill difference," just a different style of play / philosophy / mentality for each server's players. | ||
