South America

It must be a really dumb question, but why NA has only one region (without Mexico) and SA has 3 differents?

And what your thoughts on doing a CSGO RMR style event to qualify teams for the intercontinental stage?

If there is already a thread about that, please post the link about it. I'm curious to know different point of views.

popluation + viewership + servers

its because of the ping , the csgo rmr is a lan so ping isnt a issue

They should all of this

RMR for EU
RMR FOR NA

not 1 international tournaments every 5 months like clowns

Yes the ping is a real trouble, but then I look at North America size, and there must be a ping issue on the teams over there too...

the distance, the countries of SA are very large and you could not play all against each one from their country, I suppose that is one of the main reasons, also, something like RMR would be amazing, the best teams on the continent fighting each other, it would be crazy

you see people who live in canada usually live pretty close to the border , hence the ping is not a issue

I used to play fortnite, csgo, etc. And on these games my ping was higher than people who lives in Argentina, Chile

*edit: I live in the north of Brazil

Servers/ping, and about that same point, maybe NA has better technology to have more powerful servers or something.

Also the continents as we see in maps are kinda deformed. I'm pretty sure all North America (including even Alaska or those north areas) in reality is considerably smaller than South America.

I mean look at this:

And now for more dimensions, look how's Chile compared with Europe:

When i was younger, i lived in Punta Arenas, a city in the extreme south of Chile. CS servers were in Santiago (center zone) and i had to play with 90-110 ping.

I live in Santiago now, and even today almost 20 years after what i mentioned before, my friends live there and when we play valorant, i have 5-10 ping (servers are really close from where i live) and they with optic fiber in Punta Arenas have like 60.
