I guess I'm skeptical of the precedent.

The precedent has yet to be set. My guess is that they'd contact some of the teams in the target group (rookies, teams in GTR West/East) and ask them one-on-one to switch competitions before doing an enforced random draw/deliberate splitup (though I must say, most of the GTR teams would probably love it if 1114 was in East and 2056 in West, or vice versa).
