NA and EU would be so much better OH GOD THE LAG And I know quite a lot of BR players and they are actually quite decent. idk ive had a pretty bad history with BRs in every FPS games ive played so far... theyre the ONLY reason why i quit those FPS games -.- EDIT: idk what decent in your case is  cuz im in masters so your decent might be shitty in my standard
Don't worry man, matchmaking system is there and will work just as always, or were you fighting bronzes before? It won't change! So you won't fight the bad brazilians, just the ones as bad as you, whatever is your skill.

Sounds good. I shall wait for the day where I can receive some BM in Hangul (while using an NA account).

i wonder the purpose of dividing the world into regions in the first place... its probably anything else but money :D
|
This is gonna be nice ( : I hope we one day can switch between servers
|
This is definitely a step in the right direction by Blizzard. Clearly they've been listening at least somewhat to the community, and hopefully they'll continue to make improvements (such as linking across all regions).

everyone playing far away from where the actual servers are located would have unplayable latency.

a step in the right direction ^_^
glad they're aware of sc2 community's "complaints", if you will.

Based on the responses to this thread, LA is "in general one league under NA." I am rather excited about this as the leagues are based on percentages which essentially inflates the population of NA letting people like me on the high edge of diamond have an easier time getting into masters 
My question is, are the percentages based on total population or population that has 1v1 MMR? Rather, I'm interested in whether completing one placement match would be better at the beginning of the season (as I plan to do), or perhaps 3-4 days after the season starts (in order to take advantage of the inflated population)

OMG this is amazing news! as a brazilian player i was about to buy another copy of starcraft just so i can play in NA, but i wouldn't be able to play with my friends there.

one step closer to cross realm!

About the people asking if they can get to Korea ladder through taiwan version...
Doesn't this mean the versions merge as well? like no more Korean or Taiwan version, just a Korean + Taiwan version?

Those regions, or at least LA and KR, had diferent payment plans, because Blizzard was trying to promote the game. It wasn't actually a bad decision.
For example, in LA, you could buy the game for half the price but it would only last for 6 months and then you would have to buy the other half or pay monthly. In regions where games ussually cost a lot more than in NA, it was a smart move, since people don't often play games for more than 6 months.
I know in Korea they also had some options, like getting the game for free if you play WoW or something similar, subscription fees, etc. All besides the option of buying the full game.
The decision ended up making it impossible not to divide the regions, or you would have to have the same options for everyone.
Basically that was their reasoning when asked all along the last year, and yes, it was asked quite often.

Wow, I never realized there was this stereotype of BR players before this announcement.
|
That's great news! I hope that they ensure that latency won't be affected. That brings us one step closer to true cross-realm play.

As far as I am aware yes that's correct. I do not believe the Taiwan version of the game is locked like that.

Now EU, KR, NA! Much love, Blizzard.
|
Nice this is finally implemented , sucks for those who bought a second account for those regions though.
|
So, I know people in the past have gotten NA accounts transferred to EU. Is it possible to transfer an account from NA to TW?

I think someone said that in order to have a TW account, you need some kinda TW SSN kinda thing...Which essentially makes it just as hard as getting a KR account T_T
