I know some players from Oceania (Australia) and North Asia (Japan, China and Hong Kong) can get pretty decent ping when they play in South Asia servers, i.e. around 80ms-90ms. However, South Asia players like myself get much worst latency if we play outside our region, e.g. I get 160ms in North Asia, 180ms in Oceania, and a whopping 250-300ms in US/UK, compared to the ~50 ms I get in South Asia, which makes competitive play a bit of a challenge.
If people can get fairly decent latency in South Asia, maybe we can start more games there as a hub for these three regions and build up the player base on this side of the world.
There are a bunch of decent South Asia players and surely they are all itching for a good fair fight against people from other regions.
