(2) Imbalance? The conventional wisdom seems to be that East is strongly favoured due to (a) proximity to Antartica and (b) being able to expand further over land. That theory is not borne out by my games so far but I haven't played or watched that many.

Accordingly
I
am
unfeaturing,
at
least

I
am
not

(

alone
would
justify
unfeaturing
in
the
absence
of
solid
data
(
the
featured
pool
does
contain
other
asymmetrical
maps,
although
maybe
not
many
so
grossly
asymmetrical
in
the
teams
pool)
but
(
1)
seems
pretty
compelling
to
me.
