It's so we can validate the safety of the patch during core working hours. If we deployed in Europe or Asia first, it would be likely that the first set of issues would be discovered in the middle of the night. It's far easier for us to track and fix issues with more people in the office and prevents us from releasing a really bad change to all players.
