I live in Beijing now. I got a Heroes of the Storm Beta key and have been playing it a lot... or I was playing it a lot while I was on vacation in the U.S.

Now I'm at my apartment in Beijing, and my Internet here is too crappy to even play a "Practice" game. Are there any other Beijingers playing HOTS, and if so, where did you find an Internet connection good enough to play?

In all honesty I'd try to get outside and find friends/have a good time. Just my 2cents from an avid SC2 fan!

Hahaha sorry firehand I know you probably mean well but that's such shit advice. Just because you're abroad doesn't mean you don't want to relax and take some time for yourself every now and then. Actually you will often find that you really need it. At any rate the guy can probably decide for himself so giving him completely unasked for and unfounded advice is quite pointless.

On topic: I've been living in China for almost two years now and internet is so slow and the internet blockades fuck so much up that I pretty much given up on doing anything online that takes slightly more MB per second. However we both know that there are a lot of LoL and DOTA players so maybe you could try to seek one of those guys out.

There is nowhere with a good enough connection to play real-time games using servers outside China because the connection is throttled. If you want to play games you have to do it on Chinese servers.

I live in China for work; I'm not visiting for vacation. I agree with BIG that your advice is shit.

Is there a way to do this in HOTS? I don't know enough about how Blizzard sets up the game to know if this is possible.

Just get the Chinese version... You have to buy it separately (its not the SE Asia one). Not sure on the cost, should be pretty cheap i think.

You could also try playing on SE Asia servers, that works pretty well in Dota anyway... Haven't played sc2 in ages, but did play the Chinese version in the first couple of months the WoL was released. Worked pretty well for me back then and no lag at all.
