After a week consideration, I think I will buy SC2, but I did some surveys and SC2 SEA server gave me some bad impression, not sure whether is it true, there few questions that I've been wondering:
1) SEA server is dead? in what way? Find game will take 15-30 minutes?
2) I am using both Unifi 5MBPS and 384 kbps internet connectivity, 5Mbps is of course sufficient, but what if I play at Korea/Taiwan server? how will the ping fair? and is 384 kbps is enough for SEA server? I recently decided to quit DOTA2, 384kbps in DOTA2 brings me to somewhere 80-120 ping, never more than that but it is playable at those pings, I wonder how high will the ping gets me in SC2.
3) Any hacks happening around recently at SC2? I was an ex Maple Story players for around a year, after I found out that there are a lot of people hacking and stuff, I stopped immediately, I just hate unfair game.
4) I saw some post regarding people that bought SC2 and have to wait for their transaction to get through, then only can get the game, still happening?
1) SEA server is less populated than the other countries yes but it won't take 15-30 minutes lol. 2-3 minutes for me when I search for 1v1. Team games may take longer but not 10-15 minutes lol. You may expect to fight the same opponent a few times (depends on the time you're playing) 1) SEA server is dead? in what way? Find game will take 15-30 minutes?

2) I am also using UNIFI 5MBPS (5-5) I don't think the max bandwidth you use is the issue. The Ping is not related directly to that as it is physical time latency not the amount of data you can transfer. SEA Server should be fine. Korea and NA feels delayish for me but others say it isn't.
3) Hacks will happen in every game. However hacks in this game are relatively beatable until you meet someone of equal skill level. Sheer macro can outright win games against opponents.
4) If you buy directly (Box version), it shouldn't be a problem. I never faced such issue myself. You can also download the client ahead in advance using the Starter Edition (Client is the same, only account limitations).
Hope this helps.
