So I hear there is a West Coast , Central, East Cost and a Europe server. Are these servers actually hosting the games or are they more like authentification servers to redirect players to the best ping to host the game .My LG team played a team of Swedes and pings were 65ms+ , normally 7-11 ms . How does the game choose server or the host.

The games are played on the servers.
It chooses location based off who is in the lobby (so in 6s if you have primarily east players it will search within the east). If it’s set to relaxed location the game will move on to other servers if nothing is found within your ideal location.
Time of day, room size and goalie matching can impact the quantity of potential matches, so it’s likely the only choice for your team was a Europe match that instance. Rule of thumb, if anyone on your side sees yellow in the connection bars, back out.
