My fellow benchlords, the time has come to turn the tide and leave the bench for good. We must take the fight to Anna and Sharena's territory and push the offensive. Now is the time to strike!
You dont choose your teams, they're automatically asigned to avoid a larger population on one side. That and it's a bunch of different servers (named outrealms in the gamemode). So one faction may not be the same as the other faction.
