Sweden, whose administrators had the opinion that it led to nowhere and thereby did not play that much on that ladder. However, a playoff of some sort is much more interesting as a true champion can then be crowned, based on true skill and not just the number of matches played. Now, the WGTour administration has announced a new cup - War of the World.America and Europe divided
The War of the World is seperated in two different tournaments - Battlefield America (including both North and South America) - and War for Europe. Each tournament starts out with 8 nations, each and every one of them invited. The bracket format is Double Elimination, and once the two seperated tournaments are over the both champions will face eachother to crown the winner of the beta WNT system. The first round of the tournaments starts on Sunday the 4th of June with the matches stated below;
Battlefield America Round 1 Peru vs.  Canada USA B vs.  Chile Argentina vs.  Mexico USA vs.  Brazil |
War for Europe Round 1 Spain vs. Sweden France vs.  Czech Republic Poland vs.  Finland Germany vs.  Norway |
Clanleague-based system in the future
If this WNT beta stage proves to be succesful, the WNT admin team plans to continue with another Nations Cup, that will work as the clanleague system. The Top 4 from each tournament in this beta will then move on to the Winners Division, and other nations will be in a lower division, fighting for a place in the highest division.
GosuBets for these matches will be added once the matches draws nearer.
