Recently I have come back to dota after a roughly 2 month break since 7.29 got really really stale for me and my friends. However now I have been running into some funky match making. Every other game seems to have someone from another eastern-region.
It's not a problem, but I was wondering if anyone knew the context behind this. I'm guessing foreign exchange students might be returning to their campuses or something?
All the matches I have que'd for solo or party have been US-East, unranked, All-Pick.

None of the players are greifing or causing problems, and these players get matched on both teams so it's not like either side is imbalanced.
Since someone will ask here's my behavior score as well. Additionally my dotabuff: (I have been playing like dogshit recently)
Just thought I would share this to see what others have been experiencing as well. I don't play that often so my sample size is really small.
