The "Middle East" server is in Istanbul – Rename it to Türkiye

[heavy sorrel]

The server currently labeled as “Middle East” is physically located in Bahçelievler, Istanbul, Türkiye.

The IP address (92.38.180.12) used when connecting to the so-called Middle East region is hosted by G-Core Labs in Türkiye. This is confirmed through public IP lookup services such as Shodan, and verified in real-time using Wireshark packet analysis.

Labeling this server as “Middle East” is factually incorrect and misleading.

– It is not located in the Middle East.
– Turkish players connect to it with 6–9ms ping.
– Many players avoid it entirely because of the name, assuming it’s hosted in the UAE or somewhere in the Gulf.
As a result, they switch to European servers and play with higher ping — despite having a far better option available — just because the region name is wrong.

There is no valid reason for this server to be labeled as anything other than “Türkiye”.

If the goal is to provide accurate regional matchmaking and allow players to make informed choices, then the label should reflect the actual server location.

Source: yourself? Did you just make up this fact or is it based on a statistic?

Many people consider Turkey as both Europe and Middle East. However, the main issue is that even though its labelled as a Middle East server, most of the Middle East seem to have a horrible ping to it, so they choose Europe because they have better connection to the Europe server which is weird.

Seems they already are aware of the issue and are actively attempting to fix it, very nice
