If i remember correctly, last year in November the route was optimized and the data went to New York to California, without the ridiculous travel to Europe.

Ping was at 160-180 and it was quite a relief that i was able to play the game properly again but 2018 arrived and the route went back to the one we hate, Amsterdam again.

Super frustrating. Hope something is done so that we can play the game at acceptable levels again because it's quite infuriating playing at almost 300ms.
