England most definitely is a part of Europe. Really we're concerned with ping, not so much geography as originally stated. Sorry for the confusion. 150+ can become detrimental to gameplay pretty quickly. Most people can notice a difference even at 100+ and some of the "pros" are even scared to play over the pond because of the millisecond difference. It's an attempt to allow everyone to play in environments where they are on somewhat equal footing.
