Might still really affect a match or series though unfortunately :/ I believe that is in the TSL tournament, not NASL. | ||

 Server region chosen by seeding or by toss seems more plausible. | ||

Yeah but it's the only way to unite the players across the globe. I don't really see another solution, besides the gsl-esque format, where have to be at the place of the tournament to participate. | ||
