I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that your MMR hasn't settled yet.
Furthermore, at the low levels I really don't see much reason to not be playing on SEA. I'm still playing on SEA on both accounts (one plat one dia) and I genuinely have little interest in swinging over to NA until I'm high master/gm.
If you haven't played enough games, your matchmaking won't be great. If you play in the dead times at night, SEA is going to be a bit worse. But for run of the mill laddering at a reasonable time, you should be perfectly fine.

Agree with Bjornbrandr SEA isn't that bad if you ladder at decent times
But its alot worse for the top end and bottom end hence Mafia's blog/challenge

hmm ok guys I'll give it a shot on SEA ladder on a suitable time then

also my understanding is that HOTS will be a standalone game, and has global play

I don't get all these complaints about BSG ladder in SEA
I get normal opponents all the time in BSG, the only weird player i versed was Lobo, a GM terran at like 2am :P
The queue time isn't completely unreasonable and I never had a time where I queued up and couldn't find a game under 2 minutes.

SEA ladder is the worst at the top end; where you have players who can barely hit diamond on NA getting into GM. If you want the best practice, play on a TW/KR account. Otherwise, NA is the better choice when compared to SEA. You'll eventually get used to the delay on the NA server, and playing with lag will get easier. Good luck with your goal of getting masters before March, and have fun.

Global play is coming in a couple months, who cares about SEA ladder?

since WOL>HOTS upgrade in is ridiculous (I recalled WOL was selling for $120 when it was just released)

Assuming similar marketing strategies as their other games, they should offer some kind of bundle price for two games so I predict maybe $150 for both?

And man you got scammed how can it be $120, I think i paid $100? Or maybe I just have a bad memory. I bought it on release day too.

but whats the point of SEA ladder when there's 3 other better servers which we will have for free?

Lower ping, and a sense of community.

Do you really wanna spend your entire time on a ladder that only speaks Korean, or on a ladder that has high ping and is full of BM knobloseridiotjokers? Keep in mind that one of the major reasons why sea server was created in the first place was because no one wanted to be lumped onto china/tw/kr.
