LAST CHANCE! Vote Now To Decide The Winners Of The Free-to-Play World Cup!

The real World Cup is in full swing right now, but if you prefer "free" to "footy," we've got a competition that might be right up your alley!

MMOBomb is proud to play host to the Free-to-Play World Cup, which we achieved exclusive hosting rights due to our bid of five cents and 50,000 Points' worth of real-money currency. Our tournament will work just like the real thing, with 32 F2P games squaring off in four-game polls -- a.k.a. "Group Stages," over the next few weeks, with the top two teams in each advancing to the one-on-one "Knockout Stage" of 16 teams.

Our selection committee spent several long days and nights and consumed a lot of coffee -- by which I mean, I came up with it last night and discussed it with the other MMOBomb staffers today while having some coffee -- to come up with our field of 32 games. The top eight games, as determined by their number of Twitter followers, will each be put in their own group, with the other three games in each group determined randomly.

In the Knockout Stage, games will be separated into two groups of eight: the ones that won their groups and the runners-up. The game that won its group with the highest percentage of votes will be matched up against the runner up that had the lowest percentage of votes, the #2 winner will be matched up against the #2 lowest runner-up, and so on. Exceptions will be made if two games from the same group would be matched up against each other. The exact bracket will be set up so that A's winner would face B's in the second round, C vs. D, E vs. F, and G vs. H. The semifinal round will be AB vs. CD and EF vs. GH.

The tournament will take four weeks, with new polls going up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Bookmark this article and make sure to follow @MMOBomb on Twitter to keep up with the results and cast your votes!
