Dota 2: SEA Server vs EU Server – Which Server is Better and Why?

#3 Server Maintenance

SEA: SEA server deals with a lot of traffic on a daily basis. But Servers like India or Japan are very very low maintenance servers and so is the SEA. Even though SEA is one of the most popular servers it still is a low maintenance one. The servers are often down or not working properly.

EU: Compared to SEA EU is a very high maintenance server. Would not say first world perks but who knows. If we compare the traffic SEA and EU pretty much deals with the same amount of traffic but you can always tell how smooth EU servers are.

If you play from SEA region you can simply try it yourself. In SEA server you will lag if the ping goes any higher than 80 or 90 but you deal with less lag in EU even with a ping of 130 or higher.

#4 Communication

SEA: Communication is a bigger issue than anything in SEA server. The region is so diverse that most of the players speak a different language. There’s nothing bad in speaking your own language but it is very stupid to assume that everyone else will understand your language. Over the years “Putangina mo” and “BOBO” has become a well-known meme in the Dota2 player community. Players from different countries speak a different language but if all of them could or would have spoken a little English it would a be a lot easier to communicate.

EU: EU is way ahead of SEA when it comes to communication. Communication is the key, it is the only thing that builds up your coordination with a team that you have just met in solo rank. The positive side in EU is that even though there are players from the different region who speaks a different language but they can also speak English. Well, we can agree that most of them can speak English even if it is not fluent enough. Sometimes we deal with the “Cyka Blyats” but besides that, in communication EU is ahead of SEA server by miles.

The year-old debate ends here. If you go through the analysis and if you have played in both the servers you already know why EU is a better server than SEA quality wise.
