Are E2S playing from Maldives? I've heard that the internet is very unreliable (and expensive) there

How exactly does the third map pick work? There's 6 maps, so there's always a last one left over. In the upcoming match, it says that Sentinels picked the 3rd map, but is that really true? Does the team that goes first actually get to pick 2 maps, or is there more nuance to it? Also, how do they determine who gets to go first?

Does anybody know what language Crazy Racoons communicate in? Given that they have Japanese and Korean players.
