But is it at all possible to play on the Korean server from Denmark in Europe or would it lag to much? So if anyone have any experience playing from any country in Europe on the Kr server please comment about how the experience is/was for you! Thanks :D | ||

well, you can make multiplayer games on a few maps but you'd have to find someone to play with you doesn't really matter tho after a few seconds of playing you'll be able to decide if you can deal with the latency if you can deal with it then good for you i did 3 days of playing 8+ hours on korean server when i got back to na i was demolishing its super good practice | ||

I'm from France and I have a Taiwanese account. I wouldn't recommend it, my ping is always over 500 ms, it really affects your gameplay. But if you can get used to it, I'm guessing it's fine. You basically have to take that into account when you pick your builds because for me (I'm P), I can't really rely on precise and timed forcefields for example, so I must be more safe than that, or pick even more A-movish strats than usual (:D), like zealot-archon. Marine vs banelings must be hard as hell too, and ZvZ baneling battles must be a real nightmare. If you're used to play quite fast, it's really slowing you down: for example warp ins have a 500 ms delay, which you must wait to be able to add units to your control groups. You won't have the most crisp and sharp execution you can have, that's for sure. I hope it helped. Have a good day. | ||

I didn't look into it enough before buying my account ;D. Not like my connection is bad either, I have a 3 ms local ping (to french hubs). | ||

Anyone know what reasons why the ping when playing on US from EU is so much better, when the distance is about the same? | ||

It is quite common that Korean players stream playing on the North American server and NA players streaming playing on the Kr server frequently with little to no lag/delay. But is it at all possible to play on the Korean server from Denmark in Europe or would it lag to much? So if anyone have any experience playing from any country in Europe on the Kr server please comment about how the experience is/was for you! Thanks :D alot of koreans play in the EU playhem dailies. They stream, and win alot of them so i would assume its good. | ||

I get 280-330ms from Hong Kong to the EU server (which I think is located in Netherland or something). Its definately noticable, something inbetween 0.5-1 second delay, its less noticeable the more you play, though I wouldn't recommend 1v1 too seriously, clutch forcefield is barely ok, when theres banelings rolling towards you it becomes quite messy since you won't have a lot of time to react. I still play a lot of team games with some of my friends in EU, and occasionally 1v1 against lower MMR player (I improved quite a bit after moving to SEA). The routing from SEA to Europe is awful compare with SEA<->California (~180ms) or EU<->US which is way more manageable. | ||
