If both players agree to a server all matches will be played on that server.

If both players disagree to a server all matche will be played if a server has a delta less than 30 MS. If the delta is > than 30 MS, matches would be played on a Home and Away server. Home servers would play the majority of the games (ie. Bo3, 2 of 3 games would be played on Home, where 1 of the 3 would be played Away) “Home” would be decided based of the lowest delta server. For example, if “Player 1” was playing “Player 2” Bo3 and their pings were 100 vs 15 on VA and 75 vs 25 on London. The delta on VA is 85 and the delta on London is 50. Therefore London would be the Home server where 2 of the 3 games are played. Also, if there iis a “Home & Away” game the player will work to make the deltas as close to each other as possible.

In the case where deltas ping are within <=1 ms, the server with the lowest combined ping total will determine the Home Server. For example if Player 1 has 50 ping and Player 2 has 100 on an NA server (50 Delta) while Player 1 has 120 ping and PLayer 2 has 70 ping on EU server (50 Delta), the NA server will be the home server because the combined ping (50 + 100 = 150) is lower than the EU server (70 + 120 = 190).

Player who is Away in this situation always wins the coin toss.
