The only way to literally split it into regions would be unbalanced:
Westside (human team):
Paineel
Erudin
Qeynos
Surefall Glade
Halas
Rivervale
Central (evil team)
Neriak
Freeport
Grobb
Oggok
Cabilis (eventually)
Eastside (elf/shortie team):
Kaladim
Kelethin
Felwithe
Ak'anon
Obviously, the Eastside gets screwed here. Short answer, no, there is no way to do balanced regional teams. To make this work you would have to put Rivervale on the elf/short team, thus breaking up regional continuity. This would give Eastside proximity to Highkeep, which is a major bonus.
I would further move Paineel to the evil team for obvious reasons and either make Freeport a contested/wild card city or give it to the human team. This could work, but it would require the introduction of the dwarf shaman. It would ruin my immersion, but I think it has to be done.
