Wargaming Opening a Latin America Server?
2 min readHello everyone,
I’ve received some interesting information today for South America players: Wargaming is preparing a Latin America Server.
The image was send to me by email and it looks its from World of Tanks Blitz, but if Wargaming decides to create a specific server for that region, all games would have one. I’ve been told Wargaming is currently preparing a new team for a Latin America Division. South American market, specially the Brazilian is a huge market and it’s currently poorly explored by Wargaming.
For a long time players have complained about high pings and how sometimes it’s impossible to play due to the distance to North America Servers.
If Wargaming does open a new LATAM Server, it could mean the end of high pings, enabling Wargaming to explore this huge market, as new players would flood the game.
I currently have no details on, if this happens, what will Wargaming do for current players accounts on North America Server. I would expect Wargaming offering the possibility to migrate their accounts, but this is me just speculating. I’ll share more details as soon as I get them.
This would be good. I play since 2011 so I’m used to the 120~200ms ping, but it’d obviously be much better to play with less than half that much latency. 🙂
Not sure about how large the server population would be, though. It’d probably hurt the US servers’ population as well, since it’d divide the players. Still, it’s pretty enticing.
They better merge NA and EU after this because RIP NA
NA is full of **** tomatoes. Good move of WG by abandoning those bozos.
I’d love to see the look on your face when you realize there’ll be at least 10k “**** tomatoes” after everyone from South America moves to this supposed LATAM server :v
I hope they will do something like this for Africa :'(
Well looks like all the worst players in the NA will be leaving aka BR’s (Brazilians). They are so bad, so bad.
x1 idiot? JrCap
Do you know that the 4th best clan in North America server is a latam clan?
Regrettably
85% of tomatoes and potatoes
Are Brazilian players, if you say it’s a lie
He’s just trying to cover the son with a finger.
Every wot player knows that…
Guys, less a lot less. You are just saying numbers without any data to prove it’s true. Please refrain from creating any more conflicts.
It’s probably going to lose around 1k~1.5k players at most.
One thing is for sure…if the South American players are allowed to migrate there won’t be much of a point in having NA East & West.
Covering the sun with a finger?
For anyone who wants to see for themselves,
Just install the xvm and look at the brazilian flags
With its respective wn8 /-1000 wn8, here there are no lies
Lies are people who do not recognize how bad they are…GG
This is so true! You can judge the win chance by how many Brazilians you have on your team. More BR’s = Loss. Fact.
Still miles better than the elitist ****hole NA has become
Probably more If you add the spanish-talking community on NA.
Logic that exits a lot of bad Brs players, as there are also many American tomatoes and rude, but generalizing is ridiculous. There are Brazilian players top 50 by the xvm, and there are a lot of excellent players, look at the cla, GOFD look at the TRETA, not to mention the Latin R7 or 404 among others.
This only oyster as the American only knows to look at his navel and always being arrogant.

Good God, it’s not their ping, they make the most bone headed Yolo plays EVER.
This will be good for the S. American players as it should give them a low-latency server to play on. NAE and NAW needs to be consolidated, though.
This will be a problem for both NA servers and the new LATAM server. It’s just going to reduce the player pool in all locations.
Well… I hope it’s only an extra cluster for South American players, or else… The player pool will be really small. For some South Americans, not being able to play with their NA friends will be a deal breaker for migration.
I always have like 100ms to 130ms, but i don’t care, i’ll stay in NA (east) if they do this. And South America includes all the countries from Colombia until Chile and Argentina. Everything between Guatemala and Panamá (where i’m from) is called Central America.
Vem ni mim Brasil
Do you play NA?
So true. If not yoloing it’s something else that’s even more useless. Bad ping doesn’t explain much of what I’ve witnessed.
Only 100-130? I get 150-300 west/east and still play pretty well most of the time. Why are most SA players so bad?
Stereotypes exist for a reason. They may have a few good players but the vast majority of them are utterly, inexplicably terrible. I can’t help but generalise if it’s what I see in pretty much every battle.
