Playing at mid/high masters on both EU/NA, I can say for sure there's a small difference.. but that's it.. it's a small difference. I constantly have 100-200 more points on NA than EU at the end of each season.

Its only noticeable in Masters and GM cause alot of famous players are playing on EU and many many gaming houses.
Thats why this whole myth started. But it doesnt affect anyone from bronze to diamond. |

I play only on EU and I'm ranked far lower than I deserve. So EU has to be way harder than the other servers  |

| I've tried both, and I found NA to be about 400pts lower in skill level at mid master at least. |

| Tried both and I must say EU is harder and more skilled. |

| I don't think EU is harder until master league. I have a friend who plays on both the servers and he says that they are equally difficult |

| EU is harder @ gm level since there is more pro players in EU. |

| Don't know about EU but from what I experience it's easier to get promoted in NA ladder than in SEA. |

| You could probably say the top 0.5% of EU are better but than you could also make a point that the top 20-50 are roughly equal in skill and performance Last edit: 2012-06-05 01:09:29 |

| I play NA server, and no others. So Obviously NA is the hardest server. Period. |

Indeed, I find EU to be harder than NA. It's not as drastic as the exorbitant claims will say but there is a noticeable increase in difficulty in lower leagues compared to my natural server.
Those claiming that EU is the hardest bestest blahblah are arrogant sods but it is harder on average. |

Not even close tbh. There are so many relatively unknown players on EU that are as good or better than Demuslim/ ostojiy/ other NA rank 1 regulars--
Everyone on Roxkis, nerchio, snute darkforce, lucifron, welmu, feast, Bischu
then you got players like mana, hasuobs, dimaga, stephano, socke, kas, and ret that just make the NA scene look sad in comparison.
yea quite a few koreans play on the NA server (like 10~ regulars) but such a small number does not outweigh how much better the avg EU gm is to NA. If you watch EU players stream, they hit a pro gamer almost every game, while you'll hit quite a few random joes on NA GM.
This was just for GM. Masters and below is equally bad on both servers, compared to Korea where most masters players are as good or better than GM EU. |

| Playing on both servers didnt give me info either way, I'd rather say that there is a clear difference in STYLE rather than dificulty |

Tyler, Naniwa etc. has said it aswell. Everybody who's played on both servers on high level knows that EU is harder. |

I like how the majority of players at top of NA ladder are either Korean or European.
Step it up NA. |

| I'd say they are the same except in GM at the very top there are obviously more great players in EU. |

| Nearly every person vouching for EU or NA are vouching for their own server (NA vouching for even, EU vouching for theirs being better). Also no top players have commented on the lower leagues (bronze to top-50 masters barring top 25 and higher) being a major difference. Has that exact question even been posed to the GM leagues on either server in the last 1-2 months? The OP was not just discussing the top GM ranks but all ranks (numerically EU is far more saturated at the top). Last edit: 2012-06-05 04:16:59 |

| i wouldnt say that either is harder. i would just say that the top 200 are the top 200 just bc there isnt as many skilled players on NA doesnt change the skill level. it just means that there isnt as many good people. but i highly doubt the skill level is different. there just might be more skilled players in EU |
