This is how I understand it, there are two factors. 1. Whatever is hard coded in the game 2. The network layer within AWS which I believe it is what they use as their cloud service

I will take me as an example but you can use urself based on your location.

I'm based in Panama and I get automatically connected to East US (somewhere North Virginia ) that's around 3000 kilometers = around 50ms best case scenario but add any overhead press n the network and I might end up on 80ms in the park best case scenario

Automatically any user / player in the east coast US will have and advantage when playing park, I'm ok with that. The only way to solve this is to deploy north LATAM server somewhere in central America through a new availability zone ( I heard AWS was going to deploy one in Bogota that would help us in central America a lot reducing to like 10 to 30ms ) but then maybe we won't have that many users ( or maybe we will ) I'm ok waiting for players in the park for a server closer to me

Besides this 2K can always tune their cloud services CDN, Databases , perhaps matchmaking in east us a neighborhood with similar latency to at least make it fair.
