Man it pains me to see that most europeans i play fail to understand that the speed of light=lag.
No offense to Euros who do understand this, but all offense intended to euros who accuse me of lagging because it could'nt possibly be them because of their gosu internet connections . It's the speed of light not being fast enough ok? We are both lagging.

protip: 99% of people who play starcraft have a good enough internet to run it extremely fast. There isn't much difference in running starcraft on a 56k than running it on the fastest internet you could possibly imagine. Why? because 56k is about the maximum requirements for playing starcraft. (I myself run it on 7.5mbps which is about 100 times what i need for starcraft.)

The reason why you lag on iccup is because of these possible reasons.
A) the distance between the places you two are playing.
B) One of you is downloading other crap on bittorrent or whatever which is using up all your internet because your too dumb to put a dl cap on it.

When i play australians/other new zealanders there is zero lag.
When i play Koreans sometimes there is a little bit of lag
When i play Americans sometimes there is a little bit of lag.
When i play Europeans there is lag.

Lag or high ping will always be present when playing someone from more than about 8,000km away no matter how fast your connection is.

Generally it has nothing to do with the things you mentioned. The biggest problem by far is bad routing. Some internet providers in Sweden might for an example jump traffic through several servers in the US when the traffic is intended for, say, France.

Probably the same problem for Macedonia to Korea. I doubt Macedonian internet providers care enough to make the jumps as scarce as possible on their way to Korea.
