Stop blaming the pings, that's not the factor why they win at all.
Not
the, but
a. I've played many games where timing is of the essence. Im pretty sure I remember there being a distict difference high vs low ping.
Yet some ppl run nw on toasters with less than 60fps and directx7 while others enjoy it on an i7 with a GTX1080. There's many factors involved and whoever makes the best of them wins but it will never be fair or on equal terms, cuz reasons like world, life.
