You might be on EU servers in Overwatch due to your account settings or physical location. The game typically tries to match you to the closest server to reduce lag. If you're unexpectedly on EU servers, check your Blizzard account settings to ensure your region is correctly set. Also, using a VPN connection that routes through Europe could mistakenly place you in EU servers. Adjusting these settings or disabling VPN should solve the issue.
