FIFAe World Cup Details
FIFAe World Cup is a prestigious esports event and the organizers, EA and FIFA, have done their best to ensure that the best of the best will compete in it. The 32 players come from all around the world and they had to go through a thorough qualification process to get here.
The FIFA 22 Global Series Playoffs, which was the qualification tournament for FIFAe World Cup 2022, had 128 participants. These players were from 10 regions and the best 32 of them received an invitation to this upcoming event.
Prizes
FIFAe World Cup offers half a million dollars in prizes. Half of the amount will go to the winner. The runner-up receives $100,000.
Format
The competitive format of FIFAe World Cup is the usual one. The 32 players are divided into 4 groups of 8. The game mode is 1 vs. 1 and the format is Double Round Robin. This means that every player will play twice against each of the other group participants.
Each individual game or match is counted separately and does not have extra time or penalties. In case of a draw, each player receives 1 point. If a player wins, that player gets 3 points while the defeated one gets 0 points. The rules are identical to those used in football tournaments.
The best 4 players from every group qualify for the Knockout Stage or the Playoffs. During this stage, the competitive format is Single Elimination. However, a match consists of two legs, just like in the UEFA Champions League.
