Each country should have top 8 to participate or qualifications for top8. Winner of each country should get 100$ and spot to finals.
a more realistic and interesting format would be 5 top players from russia vs a rest of europe team (I very much doubt you'd be able to fly dahang/rapha over to play this)
you know they're stacked, they're the koreans of quake
you can play qualifiers or name captains, w/e
p.s : cypher is off to cs:go, good luck with that, rest of europe
The actual speed of the signal will never quite match the speed of light. Even with fiber optics (glass) the speed of light is about 30% slower than through vacuum or air, and most of the distance covered will be through fiber.
A beam of light bounces around like a pinball when it travels along the thin (admittedly extremely thin) fiber, and that will of course make the distance traveled even longer.
The speed of light is always constant, the density of matter the light travels through is only the accepted measurement of the speed.
I have a solid fiber optic connection, with distances involved like Australia, tournament in EU... hopefully ain't nobody even will think about this ever again.
