Oh, sorry. Yea I really don't know what's going on around classic really, I log on for news but that's it. What benefit is it to sparrers, though?
It actually does the opposite. If I'm German, and move to America, then people will infer I spea English, when I may only speak German. If I could keep the German flag as my flag, then people would infer I speak German. So in sense, this does the exact opposite of linking players together.

Basically it allows the majority of the community to spot those who use a VPN to lag themselves in spar. This is pretty frowned upon, but since people could set their flags to whatever they wanted, it was hard to catch. Now, say we know someone who claimed they were American with bad internet before, which was why they lagged in a spar. If they're using VPN, we can see the country that they're connecting from, something like Singapore, in order to give themselves more lag. If we know they're American, and they have the Singapore flag in their profile. Boom. Proof right there.
All natural foreign lag is still fine, some people still shame others over that but it can't really be helped.
