Poor routing via Liquid Telecom? (WebAfrica)

[Ilitirit]

One of the online games I play connects servers in Europe. Since last week I've noticed a 40ms increase in ping. Using a tracert, I found this (everything after 13th hop removed):



This is what the routing should look like (different server on the same network):


Why am I being routed through New York when I try to connect to the first server? Is there any way to prevent this?

Liquid is routing you via another undersea cable my friend is on WebAfrica and her connection to EU SMITE goes via Singapore since its using one of the CDN's and the shortest number of hops is via Singapore but her EU ping then is like 280 instead of 150. Probably same issue here
