Not much at all. The difference between top diamond and low masters is negligible, and the same goes for all the other leagues. However, the skill it takes to transition from league to league increases as rank increases. Going from gold --> platinum for me was a complet breeze, but going from diamond to masters a few days ago took a week's worth of intense playing and 60% win/loss ratios.
is there any advice you can give to help with my question up above just a shove in the right direction as i feel im not improving much ;D

Is the NA GM now officially bugged or not again?
A ton of people on battle.net forums talk about how NA GM is bugged again but I haven't found anything about it on teamliquid so far. There seems to be a huge amount of unknown people in NA GM at the moment while this isn't the case for EU for example but maybe it's alright.
Can anybody elaborate on this or link to an existing thread?

Mikelangelo has been top EU for a long time, I think it was a smurf account by someone well known, just don't remember who. Not sure though, but I know I've read about it somewhere long ago.

Was wondering is it possible to get Korean sounds(i know its with texts) to my game? Ive found server switcher wich can do it but I want to keep playing on EU

I didn't know where to ask this.
Does anyone know where I can have easy access to sc2 videos that I can put on my ipad. I don't really know much about videos and possible methods. I thought it would be cool to have some gsl videos, but I can't ever remember being able to download the games.

I'm not aware of a way to view reps on your iOS device, but there is an app called SC2casts that is pretty nice. You can search games by players, casters or events. It's not free, but it's still pretty cheap if it's worth it to you.

You can also download the justin.tv app or the new(and much improved) twitch.tv app. As far as actually viewing replay files on your iPad you can use one of many apps to view the screen of your pc or mac and interact with the replay( this will be much slower (from what I've heard) if you use the 3g). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST attempting to play a game of sc2 through your iPad. I tried once and lets just say it was stupidly difficult. I think I sent my drones to the minerals about the time my opponents took their thirds. Also my ally got pissed because he lost his ladder points.

I currently work in China, so my youtube access on the ipad doesn't work. I can only think of converting youtube videos.

Is this a new/different metalopolis on a different tileset? All metalopolis maps I've seen are blue/nighttime themed. This tileset looks like olive-ish green. If this is a different variation of metalopolis, does anyone know what it's called? I'd like to have it.

Why don't Zergs split their muta group and harass at 2 different places?
I was playing Sc2 BW and as I can't select more than 12 I ended up just going mass muta and attacking at multiple different angles. Surely this translates to SC2

Muta flocks get exponentially better with every Muta added due to their AoE, and when a Zerg reaches that 24< Muta point static defences such as turrets and cannons no longer matter, past 30 Mutas and CC's/Nexuses and production buildings can be sniped off with ease, if left undefended.
Splitting into two groups of 10-15 Mutas allows the T/P to defend them with greater ease, as the two groups become much less deadly than a combined first would be, so some static defence + units at each location is all that is needed to defend.
Also, maybe at some point it's feasible in the game's skill cap for a player to control two groups of Muta's while still maintaining full control over macro/creep spread etc, but currently I can't think (Asides from maybe some situations in ZvZ, Nestea has used smaller control groups of Muta's in some games, but that's ZvZ) of a situation where it would be worth it, Mutalisk conservation is a huge part of Mutalisk styles in ZvT/ZvP and even players such as DRG and IdrA, famed for fantastic Muta control still lose Mutas in situations where maybe it could have been avoided, so two control groups would result in even more losses.
Hopefully someone smarter than me could say this in a better way, hope this helps!

Does anyone have a build order for the fast robo pressure that Artosis does on stream in PVT? It seems like a solid build, but I couldn't find the build order on TL or Liquipedia. It allows you to get a fast Observer, pressure with Immortals/Stalkers/Sentries, and gets a moderately fast expo.

I don't know if it fits into this thread, but I am having problems with hotkeying recently. Usually I was able to Hotkey with Ctrl + Number, but recently it was quite rando. Once I was able to hotkey with both Ctrl + Number AND Shift + Number, but often I'm unable to Hotkey stuff at all / only with Shift + Number. The problem with Shift + Number is it adds the building selected before the actual building to the Control Group (E.g. if I select the CC, then the Barracks (without having the CC selected) and press Shift + 5 it will automatically assign both the Barracks and CC to Control Group 5).
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

Anyone got an idea on how to fix this? Sounds odd you can't hotkey with ctrl. You haven't switched from ps/2 to usb? Trying an other keyboard could settle if it's a keyboard or OS problem.

Well, I don't know if it may be caused by the special feature which disables the Windows Key (I got a Logitech G15), but I doubt it as I've been trying it both with and without the key activated.
It also just happened suddenly after finishing a few games, I haven't changed anything (I've been changing the graphical settings from High to Low, and activated the Flyer Helper, Game Timer, disabled the Tooltips and so on, Also hid the menu on top of the screen, but Control Group Visibility is on Normal, but it was occuring before that aswell).
Also It'd be interesting to know what exactly the Flyer Helper is.

It's just a typical Gate - Robo - Gate expand. You take your second gas at around 20-21, the numbers do all the working out for you if you just wing it. It's a pretty simple build.
