I don't know if this is related to the latency, but if you go to
options<gameplay< "reduce mouse lag"
Says "will make the mouse more responsive, but may drastically reduce frame rate."

Check it and see if it improves anything I guess. Maybe this is nothing, but just putting it out there.

I assume that this reduce mouse lag option makes the game update and draw the mouse position more frequently than the rest of the game (so for example: game runs at 30 frames, mouse at 60 frames). That shouldn't have a big positive impact on the overall latency, but should make the controls feel a lot better.
I don't have SC2 Beta though, so I can only guess. But I have heard that SC1 uses the same concept.

I believe novice games are played on a lower game speed setting, which could be an issue.

The mouse latency option does not fix the delay for me. Or do anything noticable, really.

For the people who say they have delay: what sort of framerates are you getting? is it completely smooth 60+ at all times? The only reason I could see the settings making a difference is because the framerate is much higher.

im having high delay as well and its really impacting my performance especially when alot of micro is needed.

I hope they fix this b4 release! :<

other than that, PWNAGE game!

edit: Frames not an issue, tried setting everything on low + 16 bit made no difference to the delay.

Maybe it's some kind of auto-lan latency feature? LAN latency on ICCUP delays the response by some time so that even if someone lags behind by 0.5s his actions respond just as fast as everyone else right? (don't actually know what LAN latency does but I get a 1s delay on high lat settings). Maybe you're playing opponents with bad ping and b.net decides to engage LAN latency?

if this is true it's sad to see that ppl will try to get a new server to get rid of this delay

I haven't felt a delay except for in a few games... But I haven't played on ICCUP for a few months which might be why I don't notice it.

I feel like my reapers instantly turn around when I tell them to tho.

I read somewhere that some Nvidia cards force pre-rendering by default in SC2, which causes a noticeable delay, and that disabling this pre-rending feature helps a ton. Maybe see if that's your case?

I think the latency on Europe is just fine.

the delay in iccup is about 0.1 sec
the delay in sc2 seems to be around 0.6 sec

i still find it pretty playable tho, nothing that has annoyed me so far
