Would using a Korean VPN allow for less lag to the server?

I read something about a VPN being able to reduce lag for gaming. I was wondering if this were to apply to starcraft as well. I check a site called flyvpn.com and they had just some very brief information regarding it. Does anyone here have experience using a VPN or can you explain what it is/does?

It depends on what your routing is to Korea. If it particularly bad, then yes - you may find a slight improvement using a solid fast VPN. In all other cases, no it won’t help.

I don’t see how it would. All traffic still has to get to the other end of the VPN in Korea before then going to the Korean servers.

Surely the overhead of using the VPN would negate any possible routing improvements.

I doubt every packet is a full 1500 MTU though between the computer and the blizzard servers though, so that might not be an issue.
