the latin american valorant disaster

I recently moved to costa rica and will be here for a year for educational purposes and after playing latam ranked for the first time i am in grave concern for this region. Every game the entire lobby has 70+ ping and everyone plays like a gold in every other region. What has caused this severe lack of improvement throughout this region? I know radiant is 200RR but surely that cant be the cause of the entire rank ladder, even top 50 radiants playing like diamonds

might have something to do with sleep pararlesisis

Welcome to Latam rankeds and welcome to Costa Rica. To answer your question, most LAN teams play a mix between LAN servers and NA for their rankeds, so its usual for them to have their main account on NA and ignore the crypto-throw/elo boosting high elo matches from LAN.

If you want to play some rankeds, get some fiber connection, it averages between 35 to 45ms if you play on Miami or 40-60ms if you play Bogota. You either play on Latam North servers where low mid elo players are about the same as every region or NA servers with "decent" ping (60ms avg - lower with good isp). Could also try playing on Bogota which has a mix of Lan and Las players but the average skill is about the same, all aim no brain.
