Ping to European servers from Korea (Seoul to Amsterdam) should "only" roughly be ~275-300 ms (which is still a lot). That being said internet routing is a crapshoot and there are definitely ways to improve that with proxies. I heard Rail used to (and probably still does) get decent ping to Korea from Moscow using a proxy. It's unclear how many players are using proxies to help their connection though.

Can you provide better statistics?
Random Google page:
https://wondernetwork.com/pings
Paris - Seoul is according to this page 300 ms, Copenhagen - 320, London 310.
So either give me more reliable numbers or please realize how bad it is.
Sadly I can't ping from work to post our corporate numbers for some reason. Everything in Korea has probably denied ping requests  (as I can ping Europe/NA things)
Edit> Also realize that in SC2 case you don't have just the ping response but you have some time added by managing the data itself by the game/server plus added players connection to the nation server. Also realize that 30ms is the best possible result you can get if we think about no infrastructure and direct connection from Paris to Seoul(9m m vs 300m m/s).
Edit2> Paris was randomly chosen as I think that Blizzard's data center is in France. I have actually no clue where it is and honestly I don't care, Paris is more or less the center of western Europe.

Sure, I'm not saying those numbers are reliable but even 300 ms is a huge number in this game. So many peopel are obsessed with APM and don't realize how much is 300 ms ping. FFS even 250 ms ping would be huge.

Not a great start of the year for Reynor. The NA players did really well here.
He played really well! Just needs to work on his ZvP.

I have no stats, but i playing warcarft3 with 400ping beffore years, and i'm sure its inposibal to playing decent game with this ping, even 150 is pretty bad for pro level.

Thank you. That. Was. The. Point. Of. The. Post.
That Koreans play with a huge disadvantage 
So it's a misunderstanding then.

You should play on NA. Every other game is 400 ping on the singapore server.

Nerchio was definitely right about EU being the strongest region :D
On another note, did SpeCial really qualify from korea?! I know Zest said on stream that the ping is unplayable, and half the others didn't even try

For stage 1 they even streamed his FPV from the Unity house.

EU is the strongest region as it has the best player
Korea as a whole is ofc miles ahead whereas NA is overall weaker but top form Neeb and Special might just be the strongest foreigners excluding Serral(especially now that Reynor and Elazer are not in great shape).

Im out of the loop on this one, i mean i get Koreans playing on EU, but why has NA moved to EU qualifiers, wtf?

Because they didn't qualify in the NA server qualifier
the order of qualis is:
NA -> EU -> KR #1 -> KR #2
|
Reynor almost made it to Stage 2 of the Korean Qualifier, and ofc Special qualified yday KR to EU, all of which are really impressive. As someone who plays with 300 ping a lot, I can attest to how hard it is but i'd argue it is more "playable" than people are saying. It definitely sucks but it can be mitigated by some smart play, we saw yesterday how Special used a lot of siege tank contains in TvP which were super strong and relied more on position rather than micro.
