Pick servers that are closer to your location to play on.

Ask in the game forum.

All games in Steam? From CSGO to CoD to Quake Live?

In Steam click View>Servers.
Sort by latency.
You can also filter by latency and game. Try to filter by csgo and < 50 latency.
Press "stop refresh" and then "refresh all"
When you have done this you can see the number on the server tab how many it found.
How many did you find?

Feel free to try with other games like Chivalry.

Yea, but i dont play Quake, CoD.
I am playing freestyle football and basketball, dota, and CSGO. all of them gave me 120 ping and above. when i play League of legends, it only has 16 ping and speedtest show me 4ms. so i think steam hates my internet tonight?

Unless you actually played a couple more Steam games, that statement is futile. Instead, ask in the game forum. I know for sure that 2 out of the 3 games you mentioned use matchmaking services and those may fail to find you a proper server. You can also see if you find serves with lower ping manually.

For the freestyle football, I get to choose which server i want to play, but SEA server's and west Europe's ping are around the same (170-185ms).
Btw,I'm just joking for "the steam hates me" statement XD. Because I never experience this before. This is the first time I got high ping for all games in my steam library. Maybe it's just one night, I will try to play again later in the night. Thanks for all the suggestion!
