Due to intense pressure from sponsors, we have been forced to abandon all semblance of sanity and adopt a complex tournament structure. Don't say we didn't warn you.
16 teams will participate in a best-of-three series, with the winner advancing to the next phase. The losers will be relegated to the depths of despair and obscurity.
4 teams from each group will move on to a single-elimination bracket, where they will be pitted against each other in a battle of wits and foosball skills.
