Tournament Admins : Ben-, sosa, Brawl Bashin’ Bison

Shoutout to sosa, for sharing the Asian tournament format with me, and to Asia admins for making it.

Have bad routing/latency to our Singapore server? We setup a new route for connecting, which may improve routing/latency.

route1 is the default one. route2 & route3 are the new ones.

Please use route1 if latency is the same. Gamers on Philipino ISP PLDT.com probably get better ping on route2.

Is your routing/latency bad and reside in ASIA/SEA region? We'll need MTR/traceroutes from you.
Follow the instructions here: https://war-lords.net/thread-15995.html

We finally upgraded our Asia servers, thanks to the small sum of donations. The billing period is every month, so if we run short or stop getting enough donations.. we might just go back to the old hosts. Remember, it's just one guy handling all the costs.

Anyway, the new IPs can be found on the server list:
https://servers.war-lords.net/#pub_servers


We still have PUG 1 Asia on another host but if everything works with this new host, we might move it over.

Becareful of the new IPs, you need to be aware that different servers have different ports(270xx):

Thank Bison and Matt for these new lag-free servers!

Pretty sure everyone is aware how bad the lag is on the Office/Dust2/DM pubs and on the CSGO pugs. Before this, none of this used to be a problem. This is because we had to move servers to cut down costs due to lack of donations(which is our only source of funds).

We are looking to try another host which is a bit more pricey but looks promising.

We need you guys to run traceroutes to these IPs: 103.254.153.18 and 116.251.223.250

Try to get as many people as you can to post here too it'll help!

1. Open the Start menu
   
2. Click on Run
   
3. Type cmd and then press the OK button to open a command prompt
   
4. At the prompt, type tracert 103.254.153.18 and press the Enter key
   
5. To copy the output, right-click anywhere in the window and select Mark
   
6. You can press Enter to copy all of the output, or select the text you want to copy and then right-click with your mouse. Paste the copied text by hitting CTRL + V.
   

If it shows time out or for some reason it doesn't work, you can still do it using PingPlotter:
https://www.pingplotter.com/

1. Put the IP in the "Target name"
   
2. Click the green button and wait for about 5-10 seconds
   
3. Edit -> Copy as Text
   
4. Paste it here
   

PLEASE WRAP IT IN A [ CODE ] [ / CODE ] BLOCK

Someone requested for more maps on the PUG server, so I'll add the ones that get majority of the votes.

Each person can vote on 5 maps, I'll probably add it by the end of this week.

I didn't add de_prodigy, de_aztec, de_port to the poll because they are really sided maps, if you guys REALLY want it.. reply in this thread.
