Will this decision be made and announced before the team transfer requests deadline is met? The location will heavily affect my decision on the transfer.

Have you guys any updates about the server location?
This will be huge affect on my friends decision and mine too.
@Tsukaxon There will be a ping test, just like we did with the EU and SEA servers. We’re preparing it now and it should be ready soon, so you’ll be able to test before the application period ends.

Thanks a for the quick response 
BRAZIL NO PLEASE!! TOO MUCH LAG!!! =(
I have to add the fact that the server MUST be on US, because southern countries internet go miami first, then go back to where the server is located. But brazil is specially proved that is too laggy for some southern countries.
Just tracert any server or page hosted on south america.
Ok thanks. But remember using southern proxies from each country to know the real ping from us x_X
IMC… I’m from chile, and if u don’t know… In chile the tecnology used in telecommunications is very similar to the tecnology used in NA… Normally in my country the ppl and in general the Internet providers companys got much problems with any hosting in Brasil… This is because in Brasil the tecnology used for provide Internet is from Europe. Is this the reason why others games like League of Legends or Dota 2 in Steam got differents servers for the ppl in Brasil, they need compatible tecnology with the country and the rest of Latin America need tecnology more compatible with the tecnology used in the rest of the continent… For example a Ping Test or Speed Test from my company got less Ping or Paquet Loss with US-East Servers than Brasil Server’s. The difference is much:
With my internet provider.
BR Serv: 350+ Ping
US-East: 150+ Ping
This happen with the 80% or more of the providers in general of Latin America 
The best alternative in my opinion is to make a Exclusive Server for Brasil located in Brasil, and other Exclusive Latin America Server located in any country who can support the server… (Argentina, Chile, Perú, etc.)
What is the point of a SA server if the route is going to the US then back to SA?
Its better to stay in NA if its going to be like that.
The best alternative in my opinion is to make a Exclusive Server for Brasil located in Brasil, and other Exclusive Latin America Server located in any country who can support the server… (Argentina, Chile, Perú, etc.) <<< Sorry for repeat this theme, but u need to read this, the ppl from latin america got much problems with the Brasil server’s. Principally because the Brasil server’s got an incompatible tecnology with the rest of the continent… Take caution with this u can lose players if u don’t take the right chose for this… Much of the games in the world chose for give exclusive brasil server’s for this reason… Take consideration in this please!
Well, they can’t make everyone happy.
If they host the server in Brazil, people from Venezuela, Mexico, etc will get mad.
if they host the server in Venezuela(for example), people from Brazil will get mad.
And I don’t believe they will host 2 servers in SA, so you should get used to what you will get.
Thats why the server must be on NA, Miami maybe, and every problem is solved. It can be a SA server hosted there, and nothing gets complicated.
Im from Venezuela and my friends from Colombia, but we rather stay on Klaipeda.
I’m sorry, but a South American server hosted in Miami makes no sense. It would benefit only players that live close to Miami, countries that are closer to North America.
The guy from Venezuela said he has a ping of 70-100… believe me 70-100 is completely PLAYABLE… just stay on Orsha or Klaipeda then.
I’m just looking at the bigger picture, trying to figure it out what IMC will probably do… The best approach they can take is host the server in countries that are the most affected by ping issues. And Brazil is by far one of the most affected by ping and they have the largest player base right now…

I think i’m missing the point here, if you had a better ping on Klapeida on NA server, why you should move to SA server that probably will be located on Brazil - São Paulo (ToS uses Amazon Servers, the only one on South America is located on Brazil - São Paulo).
Update:
I’m not defending any point by now [I’m from Brazil by the way] but, we’re worried about the ping too. For me it just don’t make any sense to transfer to an SA server if your ping is better on Klapeida for example.

Is just that my friends, me, and i think the rest of Spanish Speakers too, thought that this server would suit better for lang, comunity etc, but if hosted in br this is just wrong, don’t worth the ping.
Sorry but…[quote=“alucard209, post:42, topic:212538”]
but if hosted in br this is just wrong, don’t worth the ping.

You dont want to play with high ping, but for some reason you think we should.

most of the community is from Brazil, so it is fair to keep the server in Brazil. I do not understand how difficult to understand this …
Guys, you have to realize that not only Brazil has the biggest community in ToS, but also some players from other countries are reporting much better pings to it (argentina for an example).
Aside from that, I saw some guys from Chile showing low pings and others showing high pings, which just reinforces the idea that the problem is with ur ISP and not in Brazil itself.
I mean, this is not to bash anyone, but you have to stop complaining about brazil and talking on behalf of all the other south americans, because even then you would be partially wrong.
Finally, I see people saying that they should open separate servers. Where would they host the LA servers and how? This is not LoL with millions of players and years after the release. Even Blizzard has only servers in Brazil and it works fine for a big part of the community.
This is the same reason why I, as a brazilian, accept that international servers are usually located in the US. I would love to see the first server (or only server for some games) located here in SA, but it’s not good business wise.
So, let’s think a bit about it. If it’s proven to be a route problem, a VPN may do wonders for you.

people with good ping complaning about their ping if they reallocate…
well, if you have good ping, why would you want to transfer? Everybody that is UNSATISFIED with the ping should move, its EASY guys.
you guys want a SA server that got better connection for NA people wtf
