Your in-game matchmaking region must be set to North America.

Server Selection

Each team will select their preferred server region (West/Central/East) before the tournament begins. Selections will be revealed to all teams at the start of the tournament

• Teams cannot declare themselves as a Central team unless that have at least 1x East and 1x West starter. If a team does not meet those requirements, they must select East or West as their preferred server.
• If a team is all Central, they must use their opponents' preferred server.
• The Central server will be used for all matches involving a Central team.
• The Central server will be used for all East vs West matches. If an East team faces an East team, then the server is determined by the in-game server selection. Same applies for West versus West.
• Central is NOT default. It is only used when there it is East versus West, East versus Central, and West versus Central.
