So from what I've seen, every streamer from Korea always has a ping under 10ms (e.g. Faker & Co.) At the same time, everyone in NA / EU seems to have a ping around 60. Some are somewhere between 30-60, but it's around 60 for 95% of the people or more.
Do they just have a better connection to the Korean LoL servers over there? Better infrastructure? Smart fridges as Riot Servers instead of Toasters from 1995?

Fegone1 votesThat's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure. I mean in what sense. Is everyone there connected with everything through fiberglass? Even if I get Google Fiber in the US, I doubt that my ping would be under 10ms.
Fegone1 votesNo it's not. This is b.s. The Turkish server is not in Turkey, it's in Ireland. The Russian server is not in Russia, it's in Germany. The Eastern European Server is also in Germany, even though Germany, who plays on the Western European Server, has it's server in the Netherlands. Latin America has it's server in Miami.
If your statement was true, wouldn't it make more sense to put the server of a specific region into that actual region it's serving?...
