Brazil need to do some ping testing on a Texas server, a Chicago server and a New York server as soon as possible. That way we can work out what to expect.

No, theres nothing on the rule-set stating that. Like Alexander said, teams like Brasil join at their own risk and willing to play on EU servers.
Servers outside of the EU may be permitted, for matches involving North America. For these teams, an event admin will be on hand to decide which servers are used, on a case by case basis. A potential match between a North American team and a Turkish or Russian team will likely have to take place on a server in France or at best the United Kingdom. It's doubly important in this case that teams make sure they have checked out the server they plan to use beforehand.

If they are willing to play on European servers, they're more than welcome to join.

Does that still mean that 50% will be played on EU and 50% on SA?
Not sure, lets wait for Alex to clarify that.

I'm not sure that's a good idea. Infact I expect an NA server could be found as decent middle ground for every one of Brazil's matches. Did some ping testing with Turkey and they got pings in the 130s on Beast Coast. Can't imagine Brazil will be much lower than that (although it's really important they provide some indication about what sort of pings they get).Alex_C said:No servers outside of Europe/North America will be used. Against Brazil, more Western-European countries might be able to use an NA server as a middle-ground, I'd expect for teams such as Poland, Turkey and Russia etc. a UK/France server will have to be used.
Ikaguia said:well, personally, I get 160-170 ping on a server hosted in NA and 190-210 ping in european servers, I manage to kill people often in native and I don't think it would be that disbalanced a 140 vs 210 ping match, it would get an 14-6 score I'd say or even 12-8
edit:
my ping is not good, but I can still fight, and on the NA servers, the ping is quite good
- IG_battlegrounds(couldn't find IG_NC2012on the list) = 232
- ENL_France_1 = 231
- ENL_France_2 = 247
- ENL_Germany_1 = 278
- ENL_Germany_2 = 279
- ENL_Germany_3 = 280
- Team_USA couldn't find it
- ENL_Hungary_1(not official but still...) = 237
- US_GK_Siege_New = 139
- JestServers_Florida = 140
- Beast_Coast_Duel = 141
- NA_cRPG1 = 161
- EU_cRPG1 = 206
And I'm not the one with lowest ping on the team
Seems like a fair match. Hint: Sarcasm.dzioOb said:Poland 20 - 0 Brazil
Their was a problem, the match was suppose to be played at least half of it on Team USA. Where both teams would ping 100 + so it would have been even. But due to poor scheduling on either side don't know what side it was. They did not reserve the server and then wanted to use it when, Canada vs France was already using it. So they didn't have a fair server to play on.captain lust said:If it was any other team, I'd say they just did a terrible job negotiating servers but since it's Brazil, they should've been given better support and advice on the matter.
I don't know how it went down but I'd expect better of Team Poland than to allow this.

That sort of issue can account for maybe playing on a German server instead of a French server. Not playing the entirity of Brazil vs Poland on a European server. In my opinion, that's unacceptable.Z3ro said:Their was a problem, the match was suppose to be played at least half of it on Team USA. Where both teams would ping 100 + so it would have been even.
