I know it's frustrating being put up against Taiwanese who are good at the game but there's no reason why you cannot be just as good as them in solo tournament.
I mean I know foreigners are put on a big disadvantage due to our ping and the game not being in our native language as well as limited communication with other players but you just have to keep pushing through it, there isn't anything we can do about that.
+1, with enough persistence and work on your gear, you can achieve that elusive title!
