According to Speedtest owner Ookla, Singapore is the fourth city by way of the variety of players with regards to delay.
Singapore ranks behind chart-topper Bucharest in Romania and the Chinese cities of Hangzhou and Chengdu.
Ookla analyzed February 2019 Speedtest ends in 35 cities known for esports events, gaming conferences, gaming corporations and more to search out out who has the advantage, and ranked them based on ping.
(Note: Ping refers back to the network delay between the player’s client and the server game server measured with ping utility or equivalent. Ping is quantified as average time in milliseconds (ms). The lower one ping signifies that the lower the delay and the less delay the player will experience.)
Here are the highest 11 results, and the complete results may be found on their blog:
First Place Bucharest, Romania is home to ultra-low ping, lightning-fast download speeds, and a thriving gaming culture.
From Bucharest Games Week (including the CS:GO Southeast European Championship and the FIFA National Tournament) to the many local gaming studios, Bucharest is an awesome place for gamers, whether you are online or offline.
The next five gaming cities with the bottom ping are in Asia.
Fourth place Singapore, host of the fifth annual GameStart convention in October 2018, had only a rather slower ping than the primary 4 cities and the fastest download speeds of all cities included.
South Korea is home to the fifth and sixth best player cities. Seongnam-si, a satellite city of Seoul, boasts the Pangyo Techno Valley (also generally known as Korea’s Silicon Valley) and diverse game development corporations. Perfect for a city with a ping of 9 ms.
Although the ping in Incheon was barely slower at 12 ms, players there can take comfort in town’s repute – the 2018 League of Legends World Championship was held at Munhak Stadium in Incheon.
Budapest, Hungary is ranked seventh and is an emerging gaming city that hosted its first major esports event (V4 Future Sports Festival) in 2018, but its 12ms ping makes it a robust contender.
The more established Malmö in Sweden ranks eighth with barely lower average download speeds, but town is home to Massive Entertainment, creators of the Tom Clancy’s The Division series, Far Cry 3, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and lots of others.
Vancouver, Canada, the one North American city to qualify for the list of cities with essentially the most gaming, ranks ninth with a ping of 12 ms and includes many gaming corporations, including the Canadian branches of Nintendo of Canada and EA (Electronic Arts).
Both Shanghai, China and Moscow, Russia made the list of cities with essentially the most gamers as they each also had a ping of 12 ms, although Internet speeds in Shanghai are higher. Shanghai may also host International Dota 2 in 2019, while Moscow is thought for its Epicenter.
