Because it's the default server selected for you if you're from the SEA region. Most people don't notice and just start playing straight away.

By the way, I have a few question to ask, I've basically been in the UK for the past 3 years so I can't test this but I'm coming back to Malaysia soon. How are the pings to the American servers? If I'm not mistaken, the Asian servers are located in South Korea right? I'm trying to decide what server to play on when I get back.

There's also the AUS/NZ server which may have better pings for SEA players but Blizzard will only connect you to that server automatically if your IP address is from Australia/New Zealand. It's not on the server list above the Play button so not many people know about the AUS/NZ servers.

The ping is around the range of 100-150ms most of the time. No rubber-banding as long as no one is downloading torrents in my house. I'm using Unifi 10mb package and sharing it with 4 other guys.

However, with the DDOS attack and recent slow unifi connection, the latency is unstable. There are lag spikes most of the time. I suggest going down 1 torment level to avoid dying due to lag.

It's by default, but language might be another reason.
The ping to US was not bad at all, at least during the D3V time. Nowadays we can force out client to connect to Australia server. Just refer to https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3191004

Actually, yeah. When I play public rifts, most of them are either from korea or chinese judging by their names. haha.
