How does it affect the WCS Challenger ladder competition? For example, if somebody blocks Finnish IPs does it mean they cannot be matched with Serral on ladder (if he's playing from home of course)? | ||

EU only has one server, one IP range for gamesites. Americas has 6 servers. This just limits the servers you can get put on. | ||

On NA this can definitely still be (ab)used to avoid some opponents to get to the top of ladder to qualify for challenger (just like what Hydra and Polt used to do). Does anyone know what happens if two players are matched up and they're blocking mutually exclusive sets of servers (e.g player who only wants to play on Australia or Singapore vs player who only wants to play on US East and Central)? | ||

I had no idea it was that bad over in america since we only have 1 EU server. Australia!? The worst that we have is being regularly being matched with russians that have poor connectivity to paris and don't speak a word of english in co-op game modes/maps so we have to either not communicate or just insta-leave. That's an issue in WoW as well in the last few years, i guess Blizzard wants to serve that region without it being viable enough to run a dedicated server and as a result we have people with bad connections and no mutual language being dumped together without an opt-out. | ||

It's consistently around 200 ping or so for me. Singapore is over 300 ping most of the time, and Brazil is all over the place. Singapore and Brazil are often so bad that I just leave the game immediately, though I often leave games on Australia too. Playing in over 150ms latency is straight up not fun for me. Good luck defending mine drops against someone who has server advantage in 200+ ping. I had a game on Singapore where the person mine dropped while it lag spiked for a couple seconds or so, and when the game caught back up after the spike, an entire mineral line of probes was gone and the medivac was flying away. I had no chance to respond.That's really silly. I had no idea it was that bad over in america since we only have 1 EU server. Australia!?

If there's a population shift and fewer games are available on undesirable servers that sucks for them, but it doesn't suck as much as forcing a whole region to roll the dice on if they have 10 ping or 200 ping or if they will be able to speak a common language with the ally that they matched with. They own the game too and did their due diligence setting up a PC and network that works well in order to get a good experience. | ||
