    While on vacation in the summer, I bought the US version of SC2. I live in the MIddle East, and when I finally came back and got round to playing it, the latency was quite high and I requested Blizzard to switch me to the EU servers, which they did.

    Problem is, even now, there is very obvious latency. I would reckon it is somewhere in between 300-500 ms, and sometimes, slightly more even.

    This makes marine scoot-n-shoot micro impossible.

    My questions are:

    1- Is this normal?

    2- What kind of latency are you experiencing i.e. approximate response time for any unit to a given command.

    I've explored different avenues to improve the ping, but sadly to no avail. My ping to locations in the EU are generally in the range of 250-500.

    Any responses/help appreciated.
