I don't have live1 as an option, chesscom always forces CDN routing and I always have high ping to all the available servers even ones that r supposedly in the EU.
The site uses a distributed network of servers. I don't know the specifics of the algorithm used to choose which server a game is played on but I don't imagine there'll ever be option to bypass that.
U mean the chesscom main server live1 does not exist? It doesn't show in the server list. And most other chess sites use direct routing as it is usually the fastest option.

All random seeks, along with direct challenges I believe, are hosted in the site's distributed RCN network.
