Yes, because being American doesn't mean you can't have massive delay, Anyone who would claim such clearly never has once worked with networking, because there is literal dozens of ways anyone from any country can delay or lag, American or not. You could have dialup. Long Ethernet cable. Bad area for connectivity, ect. Literal dozens of reasons. Anyone with a CTA1 knowledge or above could name 20 off the top of their head.

And secondly I probably don't delay more than them, I only delay by 1.25, it's more of I'm slippery to fight since I seem to be better for dodging, and my screen gets sweaty and it makes me randomly move in certain directions. It oddly has saved me from getting hit a few times, but also got me hit at times too, But if you wanted to see massive delay I could remove the satelitte I paid 2700 dollars for and replace it with a normal satelitte and I'll probably delay closely 9x more, then I'd probably delay more than anyone else. But I couldn't deal with it for graal and non graal purposes. Imagine having to spend 10 minutes just to start up the game. And DC a lot. Not exactly appealing to do.
