I just noticed...
Probably because when a higher tier server loses. They get thrown down to the lower tier servers and are always green perhaps?
So yea the colurs depends on your rank ….
While red (on the worst position on the map in my opinion) is the lowest and green the highest
I agree. From looking at the ratings post it looks like my server (Gunnar’s hold) was the lowest rated server of the 3 over the last 2 matchups, we have been Red both times.
I wonder why ANet didn’t make it random?
I think Overlook is a really strong keep to hold, but we have found that when you are red you get attacked by the other 2 servers in the Eternal Battlegrounds much more than they seem to attack each other. I think this is to do with the water between green and blue keeps, it is more instinctive to take a route over land than run though the water maybe?

Both blue and green tower south of EB have better positioning because they are on the edge of cliffs and cover an area where moving may be dangerous, whereas the red towers are direclty on the ground, plus you can’t really see what’s going on in the eastern red camp from the nearest tower because it’s in a cave, so you can easily ambush people there, forcing them to move out of the tower, etc.
