Even if they wanted to they can't , just look at the recent APAC Lcq , literally almost all games were on near 100 ping for both teams . Horrible experience for everyone involved.
thx for the info dude, btw the Apac LCQ wasn't in lan? I think that only EMEA LCQ was the unique online LCQ (despite NA, cuz they have a problem in thw middle of the tournament).
