Don't think it matters people look at ping before that and anyone with good ping will connect. Which they do.
 
The reason why I changed it to US is to have all location names be 2 letters. Most people outside of the east coast of America don't have an idea of where Chicago is, or thinks of Chicago when they see CH.

That is why our European servers are named EU.
 
I thought the Euro servers were named EU because some people wont play on the servers if you say they were located in France

makes sense
 
You could throw in IL instead of US. It just attributes a region to it because I don't know where the TX servers are located (assumedly Austin or Houston) but it really doesnt matter cause TX is the southern region, such as LA is west and NY is east. I've noticed that since January, the Chicago Goldrush server completely died. Possibly due to the name change.

I consider myself an average player, so I don't look for IPs I just look for the server name so I had no idea that Chicago was now US until today.
 
I think most people look at the location in the title rather than ping. Most players aren't technical people, just people looking to play a game on server that sounds close enough to them. Someone in NY would see the NY server and connect to that, not an EU server.
