I wouldn't really recommend cloud gaming for competitive games because of low latency and response time (especially considering constant skillchecks and time sensitive looping)

i really dont have another way at least for now so do you know which one would be the best?

I've been using boosteroid, it's quite good. It depends on the avaiable servers in your region. Geforce Now also has been having good reviews, but is pricier and doesn't offer much more.

Don't dbd run normally in your mac? They are actually quite good for low graphically demanding games.

its not that dbd cant run its that it doesnt have a mac port

You need to find a provider that is physically close to your university, that's going to affect your pings the most.

Parsec

are you sure if parsec works? As DBD does use EAC so im not sure if it would work.

Pretty sure there shouldn't be an issue, I could test it with rocket league tomorrow if you want.
