Best protocol with best latency for gaming? (I assume it's either OpenVPN or Wireguard)

As the title states, I’m wondering what the best protocol is for gaming. It seems OpenVPN has been a de facto standard for quite some time, but new’ish protocols like Wireguard are raved for their “speed.” Most people refer to “speed” in terms of data transfer time, but not necessarily latency.

Latency is key for gaming. You only really need 5 Mbps up and down for gaming. Latency is going to be the killer. Factors affecting latency will be proximity to the VPN server, the closer the better, and also the pairing/routing between your ISP and the vpn server ISP, and latency to the gaming server from the VPN server (try play on servers closest to you), finally also network congestion from your ISP, VPN server and gaming server is also a factor. Openvpn is slower due to length of the encryption/decryption process. Wireguard is faster. I personally like v2ray, it’s also really fast.

Wireguard, it’s both faster and has less overhead in terms of latency compared to openvpn.
