I used to play on EU server but I'now living in Korea for four month. I tried to play on EU server but there is so much delay, is it viable to play on NA server from Korea ? I don't have korean account yet and in case I don't get one I would like to know if it's possible ! Thank you | ||

I've been thinking of laddering there. Any information on the subject would be greatly appreciated, thanks! You do, and I believe you need a Korean SSN to have an account there, so I don't think you can directly buy a copy yourself. I'm sure there are Koreans selling their accounts though or if you have a friend there, just ask if you can use his SSN. | ||

However, you have to get your hands on an NA client. Most Korean stores and PCbangs will only use Korean clients. | ||

Also, Starcraft 2 adds a delay in games due to it's networking, so whatever your actual ping is to us.battle.net for example, your in game latency will be higher. As an example I have around 110ms latency to European servers, but my actual in game latency is 300-330ms. You can measure actual latency by recording your screen and counting frames between order issued and order performed, but of course you need to have already own an account to do this. Your only other option is to get an answer from someone who lives in Korea and plays on US server. | ||
