I mean its good, but does this mean KR server can be filled with less-skilled players and therefore the "standard" of KR server is gone because anybody can play there?

No.... The top players will not be influenced at all by this change.

What? Bad people will lose vs good people regardless of the server they play on. Top master and GM on KR will still be korean pro gamers only no matter what, then the worse player will just fill up the rest of the ladder going down? For example, a top master on na/eu will probably end up at like mid/low master on kr...

I have a question: The only reason why I never played on other servers is, because I heard you have lag (high ping). How will Blizz fix this issue?


Blizzard can't fix that issue, it depends on where you live and your isp.


Well if an old program iccup for bw allowed me to play anyone in the world without latency I am pretty sure blizzard can.

I don't know much about networking but I remember playing on iccup, playing verse koreans/europeans/etc and having absolutely no latency issues.

Now why could this not be possible for sc2?

First of all, yes, you still had high latency on iccup.
Second, BW was peer to peer, while SC2 is server/client based (I think), so they work very differently.


Not too much. I used to play against Korean players (Im european) with very few ping, I could micro mutas

BW was not peer to peer, it was the lan latency plugin for chaos launcher (used in iccup, fish, etc.). Official battle.net was super laggy.

I'm pretty sure the LAN latency hack was just to remove the artificial built in latency in BW, which only made things worse on the official Battle.net. It might have done some other hacks, but there's no way to magically get around lag even in peer to peer. You could muta micro because your units would respond with only a small delay, however it still took 200ms or so for your actions to be reflected on your opponent's client.

It's a great idea! Since all regions are connected, by this thing called the internet, friends in the US, EU, SEA and Korea can now attempt to play with each other.

So this is an opportunity to smurf another race in another server. I will still play my main in EU as I have the best pings.

Wouldn`t it just be extra latency for them? Since your packets of data is still being sent to your "own region". It doesn`t change. Unless someone can give me a technical reason why someone from another region would affect your latency while you play in your own region.

And it only took them 2 years :O
I hope they also improve their shitty netcode because right now you can't really play from EU to KR.

Better late than never I suppose, hopefully they will use this patch to get some metrics for HOTS improvements as well. Don't see myself changing servers, but it will be great for lower level playhems.

Does anyone know exactly how much geography affects ping cross-server? Like, if I'm on the US west coast and have a decent connection (30+ mb/s) will I be able to play on KR without much lag?

Bandwidth has nothing to do with latency. West coast US should be playable on KR with minimal extra latency, Central / East US and Europe will likely be laggy.


I am in California and there is a slight delay in KR server. I also concur, it has nothing to do with your bandwidth but locations.
If you are in West Coast like myself, then playing on KR will feel a bit weird. I play T as my main and when I play against
Z, it is hard to split your rines due to very short delay. I mean it is like less than half a second but still, you will feel it.

I get about 100-110 ping living in Korea to NA. So I imagine someone on the west coast of NA will get a similar ping coming to Korea. I'm excited to finally be able to play on Korea with my damn NA version of the game. >_<
