Have you played games before? Higher latency has nothing to do with more skill. It makes the game awful for for the player and the people he's playing against, not harder, just worse. If anything playing at that latency has held his skill back, not served as a barrier to increase his skill. I say this as a top 200 global SC2 player.

For instance, in league of legends, you can't do a few champion combos (like Alistar's headbutt + pulverize) on a lag greater than 200ms. But enemy skills register just fine. Packet loss is even more awful when your skills don't register or you don't know what's going on for a second or two. This does puts the players at an unfair disadvantage.
