yo, I understand the regional stuff, but if a pool has multiple top placers in it, so be it lol. Just because someone has a perceived "easier" pool, does not mean they will win the tournament......................................, so in reality, it doesn't even matter. Sometimes you got to play someone from you region right after pools, it is a tournament, 1v1 specifically, so if you want to play teams, play LoL or COD lol. We're playing fighting games here, straight up 1v1. So in conclusion, just play who is in ur pool and do your thing, simple as that.
