Basically title says it all, but I’ll clarify a bit.

Now I’m not going to say I’m the best player, but I wouldn’t call myself bad. I guess I’d say it’s safe to call myself pretty average. I originally played in NA and was hovering around Gold 3/Plat 1, teetering back and forth between the two pretty consistently. Recently due to some work changes, I’ve started playing in SEA, and after finishing my unrated matches and getting ranked, I was honestly shocked to get Bronze 3. Don’t know if it’s just the region or if it’s the end of the act, but holy heck is ranked a whole lot different over here. I’m playing silver 1s with gold/plat act ranks and that doesn’t seem too normal.

What do you guys think? Is South East Asia just built diff, or are the smurfs and de-rankers running rampant as the act draws to a close?
