I mean 2 out of 3 games I play take place at Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore servers where almost everyone gets 200-400 ping. It has been this way since mm beta and then I thought they'd fix it by the release date. Does it happen to you guys living in NA, Western EU or any other region really and was it addressed before?

I've played like 30 MM games and 80% of them were on Madrid servers (so 30-40 ping), 19% on Stockholm-Luxemburg servers (60-80 ping) and 1 was on a Virginia (140-160 ping). I suppose it depends on timezones and how many people are queuing in your area.

I'm using CSGO MM Server Picker actually. I'm playing from SA and 2 games on Stockholm (300ms).

I was once in a 6 stack with all NA players, got matched up against 6 Asia players, and got put into a Stockholm server... There should be an option to say something like "only put me in Washington, Virginia, or LA servers" or something like that.

CSGO's mm server picker doesn't work. It blocks me from connecting to server but not from placing me there by the matchmaking system.

Yes, for this reason u can't block all servers. In my case, unblocked: Chile, Brazil, US SW, US SE and US West. Blocked: US East, UE West, UE East and Russia (Stockholm).

Also you will not be penalized for "abandon".

These ones seem to work, the last command being maximum ping of your choice.

Those commands are made for quickplay, not matchmaking. The first time I tried to play mm after using them I had to play Swiftwater in Stockolm

I don't know for sure, but haven't got any servers apart from my region today

6 NA players vs 6 Australians on a Chilean server is what Valve intended.
