If last night is any indicator; this'll be a slobberknocker once again. With AHQ on the Home side this time, who knows how this will pan out.
You decide the order of who attacks or defends first on the maps you pick but yes you're right. Perhaps not a significant advantage overall but it lets Blank choose what Assault map they play on. As far as I can remember they've pretty much lost Anubis or Hanamura every time against AHQ or FW, whilst generally performing better on Volskaya
