Wtf is this tournament

Why do they call a T5 tournament "World Championship"?

2018-11-02 16:43

Coz there are teams from all over the world

2018-11-02 17:42

But winning a tournament with people all around the world doesn't make you the world champion.

The IESF is supposed to be the FIFA of esports, so they're trying to create a FIFA World Cup of sorts. I'm glad this exists and I'd love for it to become as big as the World Cup.
