Can we please play Dallas/Colorado by default?

We should not have people (except the two people in Western Canada ig) with 100+ ms of latency in a game with the biggest ping advantage of any e-sport, not to mention every other game has central servers for this exact reason. I've played both on California ping to Chicago and NA ping to ETF2L and the ping feels similar, and I have no idea why we have Chicago servers going on for matches and playoffs.

Hast to be East Asia. West Coast players get only 100 ping to the Pacific. Maybe Antarctica? Plus there's like no weather changes so the servers would never go down.

Coastal elite twinks forced to play hitscan, as it should be. Leave the projectile classes to the hardworking dairy and potato farmers of the midwest.

Or we could compromise for the sake of competitive integrity with ping and the fact that losing sleep is a lot more dangerous than any culture gives credit for?

Dallas used to be the default, and we had to beg for Chicago. Dallas has always had bad routing, particularly for players in Washington, in my experience. Stable high ping > routing issues. I think Kansas is the most central, thus the most fair, but I think it gets routing problems too.

Chicago just has better routing for the vast majority of ISPs/players. Dallas is hit or miss depending on your ISP and most of the time it's out of your control.

Colorado MAYBE Dallas god no. We call it NATF2 but realistically we should cater to Canada/USA so a location that southern makes 0 sense, that being said you are smoking meth if you think Colorado is any more central than Illinois.

Most Midwest players are gonna get the same ping to Chicago as they will to Kansas or Dallas. East coast players deserve Chicago servers because West Coast players get to have normal sleep schedules.

there's really no solution because we're at the whim of Big Internet and our continent is massive

if there are denver server hosts, please make me aware
