The teams that withdrew will have their reasons for it, but without those teams there are 22 "active" teams. Those active teams unfortunatly have some inactive players, so also need to be filled up a bit. This is not a big problem because if it becomes 5v5 then the teams have to lose 2 players anyway.
If we are going to do brackets then we will need 32 teams. That is 10 more (or we cut down to 16, then we need to trow some away)
@Gnuffone, you see there is an italian team (with only italian players), try to contact them. (

If the active teams all participate again we still need 10 more teams.The countries with 2 teams will most likely be able to make 3 teams now. (it used to be 7v7 so 2 players per team out, then you only need 1 more player) that would give us 5 more teams. If some new teams can be made or some teams that withdrew can come back to live and participate, then I think we can make it to those 32 teams.
