Hey there, Bahrain is indeed a new location that's being introduced with the 1.47 update that was released today.
Germany is a location that has been available for a long time but is only used during abnormally high demand times like this patch. While we want the best network quality possible for players in all locations, more sites affect matchmaking quality, so we're always evaluating that trade-off.
