The PubG Dev Team have posted a response on their website to all the region merge backlash from the latest update.

They have apologised and stated that their testing showed better results than players have experienced (in America).

The American region merge is going to be rolled back in December. They were trying to boost player numbers for better skilled based match making however the ping being worse than expected, it is all being rolled back.

The Oceanic region merge into South East Asia will not be rolled back as the reason for the merge was outright low player numbers and “maintaining smooth gameplay service has become increasingly challenging.”

All statements were targeting PC and Console.

Good or bad, it’s great to see the issue addressed by the dev team. For more detail, head over to the PubG website.
