Noli, theres plenty of documentation regarding the swap. If you are on TW you will be requested to choose a new name when the switch occurs, and your MMR will be reset. You do keep all of your portraits achievements etc. Players on KR stay with what they got, MMR and all. It's almost like a clean slate except for achievements and portraits for TW accounts.
Been playing on TW, bout 30 games in. After 20 games have gotten only GM players (went like 18-2 or something with 2 pvp losses). Kind of funny, I did my placement matches, won all 5, and was placed in platinum. So now i'm tearing up these tw GM players and if they look at my stats I look like some scrub. Kind of funny. The top tw GM's seem quite even to NA GM players. Played 3 or 4 top 50 and 6 or 7 top 150 so far, It's just how I feel about them so far. Got 52 points for my first gm win. I'm actually really shocked the ranking system pairs platinum players with GM hidden MMR or not I feel that's kinda broken. Nothing but GM for the past 12 or so games, sure there is the ladder lock but really? I'd rather just bash some masters or plat players for these last few days >.> . Never heard of StorM before playing a variety of their players on the ladder. They're pretty damn good.
I feel many of these tw players open sub-optimally from the rest of the world. Every gm pvz ive played the Z opens some like no gas spanishiwa (14p 16h?) style but without the extra queens and mass spinecrawler. Plus they take a real quick third (30 supply usually). I dont know how they get away with it, I can kill the expo with 3gate pressure after 2 warpins off 28/28 gates, or open 2gate voidray expand and get a free hatch, and sometimes straight up with with dt expand. with the 3gate expo you are vulnerable to ling counters but it's pretty map specific. perhaps they play vs forge expo every game.

I haven't lost to a TW GM player yet. The top GM TW's are not on the same level as the NA GM's.
last GM player i faced made 36 drones in the entire game. and I mean made. He probably was only mining with 25 or so.......
