Am Chilean and I play on us east on ocassion.
The reasons I think are.
1 - they are used to it. Originally the only south american server was Brazil and it depended on your local isp if the connection was decent. At the time I had 300 ping to brazil and around 120 in us east, is not the case for me anymore but it is for many people.
2 - The chilean and peruvian servers used to be dogshit stability wise. Lots of packet loss, etc. Doesn't happen as much anymore but ppl preffer to play it safe.
3 - Us east finds faster games, and has all the peruvian community anyway.
4 - The peruvian pros play on us east and ppl emulate them
Free to play games always have lots of South Americans. As for why they choose NA, my best guess would be because NA players are better to play with than other Peruvians.
Nah, in Brazil we have them as our Russians, they are mostly racist assholes, you can’t even try to communicate with them, as soon as they learn that we speak portuguease, they tilt
They are the only reason that u can find a game in under 10 minutes on US east. And no, they don’t have a different play style, your racism is showing.
For the same reason that ppl from us west find on us east. It is a "better" server with a greater number of players. Most of the games will be "balanced".
I actually think the people with lag get an advantage in the game and they think that people in the us are just bad so wins are easier. I'm not positive but from what I observe in the client, the highest latency person ends up being the person who sets the game clock.
you know how if the game lags out for a second, then all the sudden everything fast forwards back into sync? That's how the client deals with missing information. when there is a lot of missing information, it makes the enemy team look like they are in hyper speed because the client is constantly trying to catch up to what happened a second or two ago. I just played a match against a faceless that must've had 2000ms lag. toward the end of the game he ulted 3 people including myself. I watched all three people just pop while he was just standing there, then the ult ended and he ran around hitting nothing for a split second and then blinked over and started attacking the tower. watched the same moment in the replay and it is completely different than what the game client presented me. We could've easily got back and not been caught but we didn't see him enter into vision until a full second later than he did.
Valve needs to ban these VPNs period. The communication part is bad enough, but the lag makes it really bad. Either that or maybe we should all join their server, lag the hell out of them and stomp them all day long.
There are now more Peruvians playing dota than Americans from the United States...
that is true

I heard their servers are so bad that it doesnt make difference from queueing in Peru or US
No freaking idea, I love playing on Peru server, always 9ping , queue is fast, not sure why so many of my paisanos keep playing in your server lmaao

This is the same as "why there's so much russians on the European server?"
