I got the other ru player... I bet they will try to force us to play in ru server :/. Fuck that, I will not play with 80-90-100(ru) ping! Can we force them to play in eu server since this is Europe tourney? What the rules state about that situation?
If chinese join the tourney what will be the fairest server? It's not fair to force someone who got good connection and low ping to play on "fair" server. I played 3-4 times on ping higher than 45ms(normally I play on 32ms) and the last tourney vs russian I was forced to play on...75ms, because it was "fair"(he got 70ms). Ofc I was totally annihilated, from someone that is weaker than me. Why? Because I didn't hit a thing nor play right for high ping. While he was playing even with lower ping than his usual(around 80), so he was one happy fuck. Whats the fair in the situation when you force someone to play on something he is not used to, while his opponent is?
You know about what I am talking about, because this is old problem, but someone really need to take care of it, like some of the organizations in the past (ru players in eu tourney plays on eu servers, period).
yea, they always try playing ru server, or swe (aparently swe servers lag for everyone except for russians because they already use -191283921839021789123 timenudge)
i dont care anyway, farthest i'm going is .de, anything else is above 80 ping \o/
It can't be that hard to find a server which is equal for both players? And if you don't agree with the server choice, you could always contact an admin who will mediate between both.
One of the players got 80 ping everywhere. The other one got 30 ping everywhere except one server, where he got 80. Ofc the low ping player will play always with the low ping(after all, we all want to have a good time, not a nightmare :D). It will be "fair" (80/80 ping), but the fact that the mr. always high ping is used to the gameplay on that ping.... and yes, there are things to consider with 80 ping ;).
Also, don't forget that if 2 players are in the same skill group, the game decider will be few small moves: 1 fucking rail,lg burst, failed rocket jump, self hit with rocket can decide the game.
even the guy in my 1st round was russian : |
i guess agent's waiting for me if i don't screw this up again?
