Semi-Official Gladiabots World Cup tournament.
Structure mimics that of the FIFA Soccer World Cup, so 8 groups of 4 players in the group stage, top 2 of each group advance to a single elimination bracket phase.
The World Cup is open to anyone, but the first 24 spots are reserved for those players who wish to play who ranked highest in Gladiabots Season 1. There will be a Swiss qualifying round for the final 8 spots. I've optimistically reserved 40 spots for that round, but I'll be happy if we get 32 players total. The qualifying round will only happen if we get more.
I'll try to pace the games if I can so that the tournament is exciting, which means it will take a bit. I intend for each stage to take about a week. I'll try to do (or get others to help do) daily stream recaps of the games and the current standings.
