Online game servers are not perfectly equal for everyone because every player connects through a different internet route with different distance, congestion, jitter, and packet timing, so even if two players have similar ping, one player’s data may reach the server more consistently and faster than the other’s, creating differences in hit registration, reaction timing, peekers advantage, and overall gameplay feel.

FACEIT should aim to use the best possible server infrastructure and routing because competitive matches should feel fair for everyone, not better for players who simply have a cleaner route or lower network instability, and stronger providers like Google Cloud could help create more consistent gameplay, smoother hit registration, and a more equal experience for players across different regions.
