As i work in europes largest open pit copper mine I shall gladly supply you with the copper for that much cable ^_^. On a serious note I am quite surprised by the comments. Also goody fighting! edit: me being terrible at my third language and trying to fix it to some extent...

Wow, 2 second delay? That's worse than if i was playing on a 14.4 internet connection which I had to do once when I visited my parents (they dont use internet). I think the complaints are highly exaggerated...
MC didn't seem to have any issues. I mean, I'm not calling them liars, but I guess I just want to believe it was relatively fair because I enjoyed the series. 
Wow, im kinda feeling like teamliquid is my little brother and i need to protect him from a bully...
-"NightEnd protoss can't even go into the preliminaries in our country, right? Lol this is hilarious.
Idra made it to qarters of code S and without any spoilers he had a tough series and to my knowledge he played on US connections against a US player on the Us server. Tournaments are very interesting. a lot of the VERY BEST talent isn't even in code A yet and the competition is much more fierce there than for the players who've already made it so nightend not making it doesn't make him bad. He just wasn't the best on that particular day.
College football is a good example..... now im rambling.. I hate seeing people talking bad about TSL when I just enjoyed it so much.

Thanks for the translations, great job everyone!

Nada had some phenomenal micro, pulling his banshees as SOON as he saw marines running in on it... I doubt lag was that significant for the other koreans. I mean Lag doesn't explain MVPgenius sitting on two base with no upgrades for the whole game.......
|
Yeah the nada game didnt show any signs of lag....neither did the other games of TSL imo. U usually see lag in micro battles, but I didnt notice anything. Koreans are just not used to loose in sc2 and keep in mind that if EU players meet KOR players , its probably the same in terms of lag....dont know about NA to KOR thingy.....cuz Im in EU

I agree. On the other hand with the MVP games, especially when the scouting marine and scouting reaper got killed by probe surrounds, those were both (-_-') moments for me. That being said, it might have gone both ways.
It's hard to tell.

For the people saying lag wasn't a factor, watch:
+ Show Spoiler +
And for people saying lag decided the games, note that NesTea won that game.

That was either completely retarded by Nestea or on purpose because he was maxed. Notice how he moves his roaches back and forth there even after they got attack, no way that was lag. Also look at the production tab, he immediatly build a bunch of Curruptors afterwards.

Indeed, i noticed that too, he was without a doubt gearing up for a brood loord transition.
Also if hes very smart maybe he tried to pull the hellions away so the ling/blings could clear out some of the tanks. I dunno, but if Im lagging and getting sieged i spam away to gtfo asap, i dont click back and forth indecisively.

Hey guys I came back from work. I haven't watched the VODs yet so I don't wanna spoil myself of the result. I'll translate the reactions as soon after I watch the VODs if you guys don't mind!

He played from the oGs-Liquid house where the connections (to NA) are slightly better.

Blizzard needs better servers, no doubt. Btw, the game between naniwa and ret had a totally different rhythm and micro. Were the 2 in europe?

Yes, Ret is back home in the Netherlands now, Naniwa lives in Sweden.

Oh thanks, that explains a lot

Maybe too much has already been said about lag (and I'm not in a position to add expertise), but that did seem peculiar. I mean, even if he was suiciding the roaches to free up supply, why not unburrow them after they started getting hit so at least they could do some damage on their way out? Then again, I've seen Protoss players murder their own zealots to free up supply when maxed, when I'd expect them to send them on suicide missions instead so they could get some value out of them.
Also, Goody is playing from Germany, no? So he'd be experiencing lag playing on NA too (maybe not as bad). And when Koreans were playing NA players, didn't they alternate servers or something so that both players suffered as equally as possible?
The probe surround of MVP's marine and reaper was the other situation where I thought "hmm, maybe it is lag..." Maybe some Korean players will comment on the subject. Maybe that will make things worse. 
I have to think that Jinro's post on the subject is authoritative. After all, he was playing from Korea too. And some of the comments about lag seem implausible (the stuff about 2 second lag, or the oGs-Liquid house magically having a better connection to the US servers, etc.)

Yeah, Goody played from Germany, I heard DarkForce speak about the lag from here to the US server yesterday or the day before on a stream, he said that there definately is a noticable delay that you don't have when playing on EU. He couldn't comment on the KR to NA connection obviously but supected that it might be a bit worse than (probably right on that one).
About the oGs-connection... Somebody said that it might depend on the ISP they get their internet from. That there were some ISPs who route their connection to the US through China and some through Japan or something... I'm no expert on this, but I'm quite sure that it's entirely possible to have better/worse connections to certain services or locations depending on the ISP you're getting your internet from.

I ladder from australia to NA server. My ping time is 176ms to the battle net machines. That is about typical for here to west coast. I believe europe would have less latency. My guess is Korea also has a better connection than I do, because before it leaves the country Aus ISPs sort of have fairly bad latency anyway, and Korea has extremely fast internet internally as everyone knows. I'm sure they have direct fiber to US.
Anyway the lag is noticeable compared to playing the AI or the campaign, and it makes perfect stutter step too hard to do (but imperfect stutter step is ok). I don't think it impacts much of anything else unless you've never felt it before.
I'm not entirely sure but since some matches feel more laggy than others I wonder sometimes if the lag of my opponent is additive for both of us. In other words, playing a european hooked to NA feels twice as laggy for me as playing a californian hooked to NA.
But bottom line is I don't see anything in the matches so far where perfect latency would have got them a win over a loss, unless the player was just depressed at it not feeling like a home server and playing badly overall.
